Review of Placerville, California


Placerville: Can't go wrong for foothill living
Star Rating - 7/11/2022
We've lived in PV for over 20 years, having moved from the LA area. We chose to move here while working with the intent on retiring here and commuted to Sacramento to finish our careers. No regrets! The area is balanced (politically and economically) despite being conservative-leaning (not a bad thing) and overall, our experience is everyone is friendly and respectful. It's within an hour of Lake Tahoe (skiing and Sierra hiking), outstanding foothill wineries and a short commute to San Francisco, Carmel, Napa, Yosemite Valley and the coast. It gets hot (100* in the summer days, low humidity) but cools off (60* at night with a delta breeze). Restaurants, stores and conveniences are mid-scale, affordable and absolutely enjoyable and accessible. Sacramento is 45 minutes away. Genuinely good people and community-minded activities in this historical gold rush town. We can't find another town that checks all the quality boxes for us the way Placerville does.
