Rocklin and Roseville – A Great Place to Call Home
My Family Loves Living Here
My wife and I moved from the Bay Area, Marin specifically, to the Rocklin/Roseville area in 2002. It was a choice we made by luck really. It was the only area we visited that just felt right to us. There is so much here so close by. The Sierra’s and Lake Tahoe are just up the road and the coast is just out west about the same distance from our location. We can go to the city, the coast or to the mountains for the day without having to spend too much time in the car. It’s a perfect location for us.
Over the last 10 years, the area has grown a lot. Rocklin, for instance, has grown 48% since the 2000 census. That has brought in far more services than existed prior to 2000. The area has much to offer.
The location is just one of the reasons we love it here. There are others, such as:
