Granite Bay Real Estate

About 25 miles from Sacramento, sitting on the north shore of Folsom Lake and bordering the town of Roseville to the west, you'll find the Placer County community of Granite Bay, population 24,463 (2005).

Originally a small mining camp, Granite Bay is now a prestigious rural community well-known for its high quality of life and proximity to employment opportunities in Sacramento, Roseville and Folsom, its high-end shopping (Roseville's 1.1 million square foot Galleria Mall is just minutes away), and its summer and winter recreational areas, including Folsom Lake and the Sierras. Granite Bay is also recognized for its superior schools and low crime rate. Like to play golf? The private Granite Bay Golf Club features an award-winning Robert Trent Jones-designed 18-hole course.

Granite Bay summers are typically hot and dry, with daytime highs in the mid 90s. Cooling breezes help tame evening temperatures into the 60s. Average winter temperatures are between 40 and 54 degrees, with an occasional frost. Average rainfall is 24 inches.

Granite Bay real estate is comprised mostly of custom-built homes, with new and existing Granite Bay homes ranging in price from $300,000 to more than $1 million. Many Granite Bay homes are set on large wooded lots and some sites even have room for horses. Condominiums and townhouses are also available offering many of the same amenities as a Granite Bay home.
