April 20th, 2007 categories: Fun Things, Real Estate, Roseville

This weekend, April 20 thru April 22 is the Placer County Strawberry Festival in Roseville, CA. The Roseville Strawberry Festival is held at the Placer County Fairgrounds at 800 All American City Blvd. in Roseville, CA.

Guess what is featured? Yes, Strawberries tis the season! Can you hardly wait to taste Strawberry Shortcake, chocolate dipped Strawberries, Strawberry tea, Strawberry Margaritas and even Strawberry Beer. I even heard there is Strawberry Pizza Plus games, rides and contests and more. You can purchase tickets on-line or at the gate.

After a great morning receiving an offer on house I have listed, presenting the offer and countering…I was off to enjoy the last day of the Strawberry Festival held at the Placer County Fair Grounds behind the Roseville Police Dept.

By the time I got to the Roseville Festival at 2:00 pm…all the strawberries in flats were gone! No more strawberry shortcake to be had! I did try the strawberry beer but found it’s not for me…Oh well, there’s always next year! Come early, and eat all the strawberries…come late and you are S.O.L.

This year adding to the Classic Car Show will be a showcase of specialty motorcycles.

Great cars to see, loved the red mustang…here is a shot of the interior

Roseville Real Estate Roseville is an ever growing populated area located in Placer County and just 15 miles north of downtown Sacramento. It is split in half by Interstate 80 which tends to distinguish the pricing of the different areas. There is quite a mix of housing opportunities here in Roseville that has been well thought out by the city leaders.
In 2005, the state tallied 42,219 residential units, 31,010 single homes, 1,082 attached homes, 9,584 apartments and 543 mobile homes and growing. Roseville sports zip codes 95661, 95678 and 95747. The City shows its size by the the number of zip codes.

Rosevilles 95678 is located West of Hwy 80 was the first zip code for Roseville and is known as Central Roseville with affordable housing in the $300,000 range and 96747 is West Roseville with an average price in the $400,000 range. As you travel eastwardly the prices continue to rise with East Roseville, 95661 having an average home price in the higher $400,000 range.
As you drive into Roseville on I-80 you cant help but see the metal structure that now seems to represent Roseville.Roseville was first called Junction City since the railroad was prominent and the junction of the railroad occurred here. Currently, the Union Pacific operates the largest switching sevice yard here in the Western States. Local legend has it that the city changed its name due to the wild roses that grew and the other story is of a young girl named Rose who won the locals hearts. Not sure well ever know the real story behind that one.

fiddyment Map Roseville has embraced the master-planned communities which lends itself to a better look and feel as well as having city leaders who have pursued high-tech businesses and professionals. This has helped maintain the city parks and cut down on the taxes that the residents have to pay. Truly a city with great planning and fore thought. With 60,000 jobs, Roseville tries to keep the commute short for its residents. Traffic is something to reckon with but the city is always working on that issue. Lots of young families are present with plenty of opportunities for housing from apartments to custom homes.

Roseville has one of the largest shopping malls in the Central Valley area, called the Galleria (technically the name is Westfield Galleria at Roseville-but everyone calls it the Galleria) which caters to higher end stores and brings shoppers from the Sacramento area, as well. There are an incredible amount of restaurants located in Roseville with more and more coming all the time. The area in front of the Galleria is beginning to look like restaurant row plenty to choose from for all the palates.

In fact the home right below is one that is listed for sale in Sun City adult community that has 2 Bedrooms, 2 baths, 1334 square feet, built in 1995 and currently $315,000.

Elementary children attend Dry Creek and Eureka Union School District depending on the neighborhood zip code and high school at Roseville Joint Union High. Here are a list of all schools in and around Roseville.

Some things not to miss are the Farmers Market on weekends, the Antique Trove, and of course shopping at the Galleria. Not far from the Folsom Lake and last but not least the Sierra mountains.
