Welcome to Rocklin
Leisure and history meld together in the golf-central city of Rocklin, a small-town gem in southern Placer County.
Top schools and high-caliber amenities are just the start of Rocklin’s allure, and this historic town ensconced between Loomis and Roseville packs a punch with its enviable enclaves and abundant green space. Easy access to I-80 puts the vibrant city of Sacramento less than 30 minutes away, meaning residents can enjoy the best of both suburban peace and urban entertainment.
Rocklin’s history is inextricably tied to the development of the transcontinental railroad, and the city served as a rest and refuel spot for trains, particularly those traveling between Newcastle and Secret Ravine. Now the town is especially well-regarded for its numerous golf courses and parks.
Incredibly priced new developments abound in Rocklin, with a special emphasis on gracious single-family homes in traditional and ranch styles. Grand custom estates and contemporary abodes are also available for a higher price point and typically rest in halcyon, quiet neighborhoods.
