East Roseville Parkway
This is one of my personal favorite Roseville neighborhoods. Ok, I’m a little biased because we have chosen to live here. There are many great features, great schools which I children attend. Very close to the Galleria Mall and Fountains if you love shopping. Plenty of restaurants, movie theaters, and Sutter Medical Center. The median home price is slightly higher but you can still get a great deal with homes in the low $500k or pick from gated communities that Roseville homes in the millions.
The median home price is $461,820

Stanford and Stanford Crossing
These two Roseville neighborhoods sit next to each other just east of Hwy 65 and North of Hwy 80. Very close to the large superstores like Costco and Home Depot. You might see some increased traffic on the weekend but don’t let that discourage you. There are some hidden parks and great schools that attract many young families.
The median home price is $396,693

Junction West
Junctions West can be a bit of a drive away from the freeways but what might take you 5 or 10 minutes extra during a daily commute, makes up with peaceful weekend seclusion. Many brand new homes and newly built schools. Junction West is one of my favorite neighborhoods. I'm a fan of the suburban feel, away from the weekend shoppers and weekday hustle of bustle. The homes are affordable and the parks are quiet and maintained.
The median home price is $454,741

Diamond Oaks

Restaurants and Nightlife
Roseville offers a great variety of cuisine and dining. I have few favorites but I will list a few and you can let me know what is your favorite!
WHERE ARE THE BEST PLACES TO EAT IN ROSEVILLE CA. (Our Family Picks)
(Linda's List)
Sushi Omakase (Family Favorite)
Ok, I'm not sure but I think my kids have some Japanese ancestry, they are 4 and 7, they love this place, both use chopsticks and both eat sashimi. Don’t get me wrong I like sushi but my wife and kids love the stuff. And out of all the sushi spots in Roseville, this is their favorite. You get to make your own roll, name it, and if it gets picked as the roll of the month it gets places on the menu for good, pretty cool. Pro-tip, Costco has gift cards for this place, buy a $100 card for $80. I don’t know about you but I like saving 20%.
Zocalo
I would make this place my Sunday morning hang out if I could. Maybe after the 4y/o turns 5. Sometimes she just doesn’t like to sit still, go figure. Anyhow the food is great. Very good quality. I have yet to find anything I do not like.
Fats
My wife and I have been here a few times. It's a great place for a casual business meeting. At least that is what we call lunch every now and then. The food is very good, it has a long-standing tradition of serving food in the Sacramento area for over 75yrs. They opened the Fats Asia Bistro and Dim Sum Bar in 2000.
Rosati’s Sports Pub & Pizza
Everyone has to have a favorite pizza place. This just happens to be mine, I like the authentic Chicago Style pizza but that also offers pasta, sandwiches and more. It doesn't hurt that they have 7 big-screen TVs to watch the games. They have been in THIS Roseville Neighborhood since 2015 and I think they will be around for quite a while.
Mezcalito Oaxacan Cuisine
This place is not in Roseville Ca, It is on the border in Rocklin Ca, but I had to mention it. It is our favorite place to eat. If you want to impress someone visiting with food. This is the place to take them. It's a simple little restaurant very casual and family-friendly. But the food is amazing. It’s plated beautifully and it tastes even better. Enough said!!!
Roseville Ca Nightlife
Ok, I am really not the man to be speaking about the nightlife in Roseville Ca. Being married with two small children tends to keep you home most weekends. But, there is a happening downtown scene with a few bars located close to each other. Onyx Club, Opera House Saloon, Owl Club, The Union Roseville, and Trocadero. I can even say that I have actually been into all of them over the course of one or two trips. They will all serve you justice if you are looking for a place to have a drink or a fun night of dancing.
WHAT WINTER ACTIVITIES ARE THERE IN ROSEVILLE CA AND PLACER COUNTY
It does not snow in Roseville but we are super close to Truckee Ca. and Lake Tahoe. A day tip up to Kirkwood, Squaw Valley, Boreal, and Donner-Tahoe to name a few are just about an hour away. Depending on road conditions and traffic you can easily slip away and get a few trips down the mountain before you have to get the kids from school.
WHAT DO PEOPLE DO IN THE SUMMER IN ROSEVILLE CA AND PLACER COUNTY
Well, we stay as close to the water as possible. It can and it does get hot here. The average summer temp. Is about 92 degrees with the hottest months being July and August. I take the kids to the pool usually on a daily basis, get them out of the house while they are not in school and I like to think it tires them out a bit. Folsom Lake is a great place to visit either for a hike, some kayaking, or even some horseback riding.
