Whitney Oaks Real Estate & Homes for Sale in California

Whitney Oaks is a large and tranquil master-planned community located in Rocklin, a suburb of Sacramento. The community is anchored by Whitney Oaks Golf Club, which features a 6,800-yard course that combines a challenging layout with an alluring natural beauty. Located 25 miles northeast of Sacramento and west of Interstate 80, Whitney Oaks is convenient as well. The center of Sacramento is within commuting distance and commercial parks, major roadways and the Galleria at Roseville are minutes away. A few miles east of Whitney Oaks is the expansive Folsom Lake State Recreation Area. The park features trails, campsites, fishing, swimming and boat ramps. Whitney Oaks consists of about 5,000 residents and 1,800 homes. Home styles vary among the three main neighborhoods, so that individuals, families and retirees can all find a property that suits their real estate needs. In addition to the golf course, there are several recreational opportunities within the community; these include recreation centers, public parks and several miles of hiking trails. The homes are situated among the rolling hills and groves of oak trees that characterize the region. It was this natural beauty that once inspired a famous Placer County resident, Joel Parker Whitney, to give up his run on the California Gold Rush and become a farmer instead. Today, that appreciation for the surrounding natural environment is an important part of the Whitney Oaks culture.
