Roseville neighborhoods

Roseville mixes a historic core beside the rail yard, established neighborhoods from the 1970s to 1990s, and newer master-planned communities to the west. A few that buyers ask about most:

West Roseville

The city's newest growth area, west of Fiddyment Road. The West Roseville Specific Plan, adopted in 2004, includes the Westpark and Fiddyment Farm communities. Newer plans nearby include Sierra Vista (2010), Creekview (2012), and Amoruso Ranch (2016). Most homes are newer single-family homes near parks, trails, and open space. Del Webb's The Club at Westpark is a 55+ section inside Westpark.

Sun City Roseville

A Del Webb 55+ active adult community of 3,110 homes, with the Timber Creek Recreation Lodge, the Sierra Pines Recreation Center, and 27 holes of golf. The association lists its current assessment as $234 a month per home, billed quarterly. Dues change, so check the association's financials page before you buy.

Highland Reserve

A 1990s neighborhood along Highway 65 in north Roseville, mostly two-story single-family homes. Highland Reserve North, north of Highway 65, was planned under a specific plan the city adopted in May 1997.

Diamond Oaks

An established neighborhood around Diamond Oaks Golf Course, which has served Roseville since 1963. Many homes date from the 1970s and 1980s, often on larger lots.

Stoneridge

A northeast Roseville community next to Rocklin and Sierra College Boulevard, planned in 1998 with parks and about 270 acres of open space.

Historic Old Town

Roseville began in 1864 as "Junction," a stop on the Central Pacific Railroad. Old Town sits beside the rail yard, with landmarks such as the 1912 Carnegie Library.

Schools and getting around

Roseville is served by more than one school district, so the address decides which schools a home is assigned to.

Schools

Getting around

  • Driving: Interstate 80 runs through Roseville, southwest toward Sacramento and the Bay Area and northeast toward Auburn, Lake Tahoe, and Reno. Highway 65 heads north to Rocklin and Lincoln. The Census Bureau puts the average commute for Roseville workers at 27.3 minutes (2020-2024 estimates, all destinations).
  • Commuter bus: Roseville Transit runs express buses to downtown Sacramento on weekdays only, leaving Roseville in the morning and returning in the afternoon. Stops include Saugstad Park, the Taylor and I-80 Park and Ride, Mahany Park, and Foothills and Junction. There is no midday or weekend commuter service.
  • Train: Roseville station, 201 Pacific Street, has one daily Capitol Corridor round trip toward Sacramento and the Bay Area, plus Amtrak Thruway bus connections and free parking.

What Roseville buyers should know

  • City utilities. The City of Roseville provides electricity (Roseville Electric), water, wastewater, and trash and recycling. PG&E provides natural gas. Ask the seller for recent bills when you compare homes.
  • Special taxes. Many neighborhoods are in Community Facilities Districts (Mello-Roos), Landscaping and Lighting Districts, or both. Mello-Roos special taxes are usually collected on the property tax bill. To check a home, find its parcel number with the city's Property Information Tool, then look up the tax bill on the Placer County site. Do this early, because it changes your monthly cost.
  • HOAs. Many newer communities and all of Sun City have an HOA. Review the HOA documents and budget during escrow.
  • Down payment help. Programs open and close, so check each one before you count on it. CalHFA MyHome Assistance offers up to 3.5% of the price with a CalHFA FHA loan, or 3% with a CalHFA conventional loan, for first-time buyers who meet income limits. CalHFA Dream For All took 2026 applications through March 16, 2026; watch for future rounds. The Placer County homebuyer program is at capacity, with an interest list for future rounds. The City of Roseville helps buyers of its own affordable resale homes, with income limits.
  • See our first-time buyer guide for the Sierra Foothills and our home affordability calculator.

What Roseville sellers should know

  • Transfer tax. Placer County charges a documentary transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000 of the sale price, and the seller customarily pays it. Roseville adds no extra transfer tax on top of that.
  • Moving at 55 or older. Under Prop 19, homeowners 55 or older, severely disabled homeowners, and victims of a declared wildfire or disaster can move their property tax base to a replacement home anywhere in California, up to three times. The replacement must be bought or built within two years of selling. The Placer County Assessor handles the filing. See Prop 19 tax transfer, our Prop 19 calculator, and Downsizing at 55+.
  • Inherited homes. Placer County probate cases are filed and heard in the Placer County Superior Court Civil Division. The main courthouse is at 10820 Justice Center Drive, Roseville. A lawyer can advise you on probate and who has the right to sell. See Selling an inherited house and Probate sales.
  • Estimate your proceeds with our net proceeds calculator, or ask for a free home value estimate.
