Settling down in Roseville

Hillcrest is a neighborhood in southern Roseville where people tend to stick around. “It’s the type of community where neighbors know each other on a first name basis and look out for one another,” says Hayden Hill of Compass Realty who has sold over 20 homes in the area. “Over 70% of the community members are homeowners and typically plan to stay in the community long term.” The neighborhood is located right on Interstate 80, which allows for some of the quickest access to Sacramento. The area is considered very walkable and bikeable, so residents can easily get to a pair of parks, a few restaurants and George Cirby Elementary School all located in the neighborhood boundaries.

Unique homes

There is no shortage of variety in housing styles in Hillcrest. “It’s always been a popular neighborhood because it has really unique homes,” says Tracy Hightower of Lyron Real Estate, who has two decades of experience in Roseville. The curving streets feature Craftsman homes from the 1940s, modern, large homes from the early 2000s and sloped-roof bungalows. Prices range from $300,000 to $825,000 depending on the age and size of the houses, but most are in the $450,000 to $600,000 range. The majority of homes have sizable yards with plenty of room for entertaining or installing a private pool. Attached garages and long driveways are also prominent features. Mature oak trees shade the wide sidewalks, which are ideal for walking the dog. The streets are quiet, with mostly residential traffic, and often lead to cul-de-sacs.

Saugstad also has a dog park where owners can let their pups have some off-leash fun.
