Shhh–Sacramento County’s Best Kept Secret!
Fish gotta swim, golf balls gotta fly, and people gotta live somewhere! Nobody knows this better than the happy go lucky residents living in Rancho Murieta, California. The surprising thing is…few folks outside the Country Club gates seem to know about the 5 bass-filled fishing lakes and 2 championship golf courses (w/ membership costs among the lowest in Nor Cal)…located just minutes from Downtown Sac or Folsom.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard, “You live all the way out there!” I just love enlightening the nay Sayers that my former commute from Elk Grove to my kid’s private school in downtown took at least 45 sleepy-eyed minutes each morning; all freeway and I still couldn’t cut the time with that darn carpool lane. We moved to Rancho Murieta off Jackson Hwy and now drive just 30 scenic minutes and drop right onto Folsom Blvd to downtown no sweat—no freeway! Life is gooood…
So I ask myself, “Why don’t more people buy homes in Rancho Murieta?” Could it be they don’t like deer frolicking in the streets, green rolling golf course hills steaming with the sunrise, country club dining & dancing a mere stroll away, outdoor lakeside starlit summer concerts, spectacular fireworks & 4th of July parades complete with decorated golf carts saddled by proud kiddo drivers??? Perhaps it’s the affordability factor? After all, single family homes start in the low $300K’s and town homes even lower.
No, that’s not it! I think it’s just the best kept secret around.
