Buying a Home in Placerville, California

Placerville is located in El Dorado County

"There is not a prettier little town in the state than Placerville, and certainly not a better class of people anywhere than her thriving inhabitants. It was still early spring, the hills were covered with verdure, flowers bloomed in all directions, pleasant little cottages, scattered here and there, gave a civilized aspect to the scene, and when I looked over the busy town and heard the lively rattle of stages, wagons, and buggies, and the long pack trains winding their way up the mountains, I felt proud of California and her people." - J. Ross Browne's "A Peep at the the Washoe" (1860)
