Three Villages,
One Hilltop Community
A master-planned collection of gated villages in central-to-northern El Dorado Hills — Folsom Lake views, custom and semi-custom homes, and Rescue Union schools.
The Promontory: Three Villages, One Extraordinary Community
The Promontory is a master-planned community in central-to-northern El Dorado Hills, its western edge backing up to Folsom. Rather than a single tract, it's made up of distinct gated villages — Bella Lago, Villa Lago, and Kalithea — each with its own builder, architecture, and price point, united by hilltop views and access to some of the best recreational spaces in El Dorado Hills.
Bella Lago, Villa Lago & Kalithea
Each village has its own character, from custom estates to semi-custom hillside homes, all within the master-planned Promontory community.
Villa Lago's Builder
Villa Lago was developed by Toll Brothers, perched on a hill near Bella Lago Park with views of Folsom Lake.
HOA by Village
HOA dues vary by village, covering common areas, roads, and community maintenance.
Mello-Roos Assessment
Unlike some El Dorado Hills neighborhoods, The Promontory carries a Mello-Roos assessment of roughly 0.25% of assessed value, funding public improvements.
Top-Rated Schools
Lakeview Elementary, Marina Middle School, and Oak Ridge High School serve the community.
Neighborhood Parks
Two dedicated parks give residents places to gather, play, and relax within the community.
