Within a few miles of El Dorado Hills is the fast growing Intel Computer Center and its 10,000 employees. The new Town Center at the intersection of U.S. 50 and El Dorado Hills Boulevard has brought the benefits of a modern city, while leaving the local villages as rural residential neighborhoods. Schools and recreation facilities are some of the best available in California. High per capita income along with low crime rates have attracted many new families to this vibrant and desirable destination of the future. As the name "El Dorado" translates, this is a land of golden opportunity!
