Home Among the
Oaks
A mature, wooded enclave of custom estates in the heart of El Dorado Hills — established in 1985, with no HOA dues and no Mello-Roos tax.
Highland Hills: A Mature Community Unlike Any Other
Long before El Dorado Hills' newer master-planned villages broke ground, Highland Hills was already home. Established in 1985, this canopy of oaks and custom estates remains one of the area's most distinctive and enduring addresses — prized by longtime owners and sought after by buyers who want privacy, space, and mature landscaping that money can't manufacture overnight.
Established Character
One of El Dorado Hills' original custom-home enclaves, canopied with four decades of mature oak growth.
Wooded, Oversized Homesites
Custom estates on generously wooded lots, offering privacy and space rarely found in newer villages.
No HOA, No Mello-Roos
Highland Hills carries no HOA dues and no Mello-Roos assessment — a real cost advantage over many newer EDH communities.
A Gated Inner Enclave
While most of the neighborhood is ungated, Lennox Drive sits behind its own private gates for added privacy.
Top-Rated Schools
Jackson Elementary, Marina Middle School, and Oak Ridge High School serve the community.
Prime Central Location
Minutes to Highway 50, Folsom Lake, and the shops and restaurants of Town Center.
