Living in Ridgeview:
Custom Hillside Estates With Panoramic Views.
Tiegen Boberg, Broker Associate at Nick Sadek Sotheby's International Realty, specializes in Ridgeview — a custom-estate neighborhood built into the rolling hills of El Dorado Hills since the 1970s, known for its architectural variety, sweeping valley and mountain views, and an extensive network of walking trails.
Architectural variety, panoramic views, and no HOA.
Ridgeview is one of El Dorado Hills' original custom-estate neighborhoods, developed on rolling hills studded with buckeye and oak trees and natural rock outcroppings starting in the 1970s. Because homeowners historically selected their own builders rather than buying from a single developer, Ridgeview's streets carry a genuine mix of architectural styles — from Contemporary to Mediterranean Revival — set on generous view lots. Tiegen Boberg has represented buyers and sellers throughout Ridgeview, helping clients understand what makes this hillside community distinct.
No cookie-cutter streets — each home reflects its own era and builder.
Ridgeview was developed in phases starting in the 1970s, well before master-planned HOA communities became El Dorado Hills' dominant model. Homeowners typically purchased a hillside lot and selected their own builder, resulting in a neighborhood where Contemporary homes sit alongside Mediterranean Revival estates — often on lots with mature oak and buckeye trees and exposed granite outcroppings.
As of 2026, Ridgeview homes carry a median sale price of roughly $1,082,500, with homes typically selling in about 40 days and around 8 active listings on the market at any given time.
A hillside setting with views few EDH neighborhoods can match.
No HOA or Mello-Roos
Ridgeview is governed by CC&Rs rather than an HOA, with no monthly dues and no Mello-Roos special tax assessment.
Panoramic Views
Many Ridgeview lots offer sweeping views of the valley, downtown Sacramento, the Sierra Nevada, and Folsom Lake on clear days.
Architectural Variety
Contemporary and Mediterranean Revival estates sit side by side, the result of decades of individually selected builders.
Extensive Trail Network
Walking trails wind through and around Ridgeview, with additional access through nearby Promontory Park.
Top-Rated Schools
Zoned to Buckeye Union School District — Brooks Elementary, Rolling Hills Middle School, and Oak Ridge High School.
Very Low Crime
Ridgeview carries a CAP Index crime score of just 1 out of 10, well below the national average of 4.
A neighborhood built around its natural setting.
Ridgeview sits high enough in El Dorado Hills' rolling terrain to offer panoramic views from many lots — the valley floor, downtown Sacramento's skyline, the Sierra Nevada foothills, and glimpses of Folsom Lake on clear days. At the neighborhood's center, Ridgeview Park offers a small, oak-shaded grassy space for residents, while an extensive surrounding trail network — with additional access through nearby Promontory Park — makes Ridgeview one of the more walkable hillside communities in El Dorado Hills.
That trail network is well-loved enough that it's the subject of one of our most-read blog posts — Ridgeview residents know the shortcuts, and we've mapped out a few of the routes newer neighbors often miss.
