Another comment from an Orangevale resident complains about the diminishing of rural character and the coming of compact development. Unfortunately, I cannot endorse such a simplification.

Think twice before purchasing property in one of the more expensive places to live. Orangevale is losing its small town flavor while be buffeted or "tucked into" other more favorable places like Granite Bay and Rocklin, or Fair Oaks. There is not much to be offerred here except very nice parks and a great community center. If you blink, you will miss it while being enmassed by other more profitable places. It is almost pretty, but move to Folsom just up the road to get the best bang for your buck! Everything is clean there and lots prettier.
