Cameron Park, California
Population: 15,000
Located in El Dorado County
Set in the Sierra Nevada Foothills, 30 miles from Sacramento, is the unique community of Cameron Park. One of the features that make it unique is the Cameron Park Airport. It is not unusual to see both a car and a small airplane side by side. Residents of the community are both upscale and highly mobile who want to live in the foothills. The community features outstanding schools, a variety of great restaurants and convenient shopping. For those who want a country club with a challenging golf course, Cameron Park Country Club should more than meet their needs. Most residents commute to Sacramento, Placerville or Folsom with a few commuting to the bay area either by plane or car. It is a great place to visit and a better place to put down roots. Cameron Park was originally envisioned in the 1950s by a successful auto dealership owner and former championship rodeo rider, Larry Cameron. Cameron purchased 5,000 acres of land and envisioned a community in which residents could swim in a lake, play golf, and use a private airport. Today, Cameron's dream has been realized. Airpark properties line the wide, dual-purpose streets on which pilots taxi their private planes to the oversized garages in their homes that serve as hangars. Meantime, golfers prefer the smaller "cart-sized" garages in some of the properties along the Cameron Park Country Club. Residents can enjoy swimming, picnics, and some of the finest Fourth of July fireworks in El Dorado County at Cameron Park Lake. Photos courtesy www.sierrafoothillmagazine.com
