Newcastle
enjoys both worlds--Old Town Newcastle on Highway 80 and the new homes
being developed on the gentle slopes of its Sierra Nevada foothills.
Many homebuyers are finding that the 30 mile commute to downtown
Sacramento is worth the lifestyle in Newcastle. This Placer County community offers
country living and outdoor recreation. Folsom Lake is nearby and the
close proximity of Highway 80 makes commuting to Lake Tahoe for summer or
winter fun very simple. Newcastle is also an easy commute to
Roseville and Rocklin for the employees of Hewlett-Packard Company, NEC,
and Oracle.
This area is good for people who want to raise horses or other farm
animals and also enjoy fishing in the steams and rivers, or hiking and
biking on the miles of trails throughout the area, or white water rafting
along the American River.
Homes in this area have water wells and septic tanks so make sure to
ask your RealtorŪ about the inspections for both the wells and septic
tanks. You will also want to know about the irrigation for most of
these properties.
