Enjoy the Foothills in Shingle Springs Homes

Shingle Springs real estate sits in the beautiful Gold Country foothills of El Dorado County, California, about 40 miles outside of Sacramento. The region has a rich history, dating back to when a group of ‘49ers arrived during the California Gold Rush, and Shingle Springs grew up from the mining camp. The community was named for their horse-drawn shingle machine which was able to produce 16,000 shingles a day, and was kept by the springs on the western edge of the camp. The town is designated as a California Historical Landmark because of the abundance of written materials that were preserved by those pioneers, which paint a thorough picture of life at the time.

Today, families in Shingle Springs homes enjoy having access to some of the best schools in the state of California. For instance, Miller’s Hill School has been serving the area since 1983, and consistently provides a high quality education for children where they are able to reach their full potential with plenty of one-on-one attention. The teachers provide a challenging curriculum, and have the high expectations necessary to help students thrive, so it’s no surprise that Miller’s Hill has received the “Distinguished School Award” five times. The area schools, both the public and private, are proud to offer a quality education for the children in the community.

Those who are looking for a good way to spend their leisure time in town don’t need to look any further than the Red Hawk Casino. For two years in a row it has been voted “Best Casino” in the nine Western states. The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians is proud to offer Red Hawk guests the best in gaming, entertainment, and fine dining since the casino opened in 2008. The Tribe is headquartered in town and, since 1995, has provided high quality healthcare for Native and non-Native residents at the Health and Wellness Center.
