Local know-how
Gates, hills and US-50
El Dorado Hills sits just over the county line from Folsom, with gated neighbourhoods such as Serrano, the Town Center and a busy business park along Latrobe Road.
For gated communities, tell us how access works — a gate code, a guard who needs a name, or a call from the gate — and your driver arrives prepared.
US-50 westbound is the only practical route; at weekday rush hour it slows through Folsom and Rancho Cordova, so morning pickups start a little earlier.
