Loomis is one of Placer County's best-kept secrets — a small town of roughly 6,800 residents that has deliberately preserved its rural character while sitting just off Interstate 80 between Rocklin and Auburn. Buyers come to Loomis for what is increasingly rare in the Sacramento region: custom homes on genuine acreage, room for horses and hobby farms, top-rated schools, and a walkable historic downtown along Taylor Road — all within a 30-minute drive of downtown Sacramento.
Homes for sale in Loomis CA typically sit on parcels from one to five-plus acres, and the town's general plan protects that low-density pattern. The result is a market defined by variety rather than tract uniformity: renovated ranch homes from the 1970s, gated luxury estates, working horse properties in the Loomis Basin, and new custom construction in communities like Sierra de Montserrat.
Sierra de Montserrat — Loomis's premier gated community, Sierra de Montserrat offers custom estate homes on large view lots with rolling oak-studded terrain and Tuscan-inspired architecture. Homes here generally range from about $1.5 million to well over $3 million and represent some of the finest new construction in south Placer County.
The Loomis Basin — The heart of Loomis horse country, the Basin is characterized by flat, usable acreage, mature oaks, and equestrian facilities. Properties commonly include barns, arenas, and irrigated pasture, with prices typically running from $900,000 for modest ranch homes on acreage to $2 million-plus for turnkey equestrian estates.
Downtown Loomis & Taylor Road — Within walking distance of the Blue Goose Event Center, High-Hand Nursery & Conservatory, and the town's cafés and shops, homes near downtown mix historic cottages with newer infill on smaller lots. This is Loomis's most walkable pocket, with prices generally between $600,000 and $900,000.
King Road & Barton Road corridors — Bordering Granite Bay to the south, these corridors offer semi-rural custom homes on one to three acres, many with pools, shops, and RV storage. Prices typically range from $850,000 to $1.6 million, and homes on the south side enjoy quick access to Folsom Lake's Rattlesnake Bar entrance.
Horseshoe Bar Road toward Folsom Lake — East of town, Horseshoe Bar Road winds toward the lake through some of Loomis's most private parcels — gated drives, seasonal creeks, and homes designed around views and privacy. Acreage estates here can exceed $2 million.
Families are drawn to Loomis by the Loomis Union School District, a small K-8 district whose campuses — including Loomis Grammar School, Franklin Elementary, and H. Clarke Powers Elementary — consistently earn strong ratings. For high school, Loomis students attend Del Oro High School in the Placer Union High School District, known for rigorous academics and one of the region's most storied athletic programs. Many buyers cross-shop Loomis with Granite Bay and Rocklin specifically to weigh school options; as a local agent I can walk you through attendance boundaries parcel by parcel.
Loomis proudly calls itself "a small town with a big heart," and the calendar proves it: the famous Loomis Eggplant Festival each fall, summer nights at the Blue Goose, and weekend brunch crowds at High-Hand's conservatory café set the tone. Daily life revolves around acreage living — horses, gardens, orchards left over from the town's fruit-shed era — with Folsom Lake recreation minutes away and the shopping and dining of Roseville and Rocklin a ten-minute drive down Taylor Road or I-80.
The Loomis market behaves differently from neighboring suburbs: inventory is thin, properties are highly individual, and pricing depends heavily on land quality, usable acreage, water, and outbuildings rather than simple square footage. Well-priced homes near downtown and turnkey horse properties both move quickly, while unique estates can take longer to find their buyer. Whether you're buying your first acreage property or selling a family ranch, valuation experience specific to the Loomis Basin matters — and that local insight is exactly what I bring to every transaction.
What is the average home price in Loomis CA in 2026?
Prices vary by property type, location and reporting period. Review the market overview for available source data, and contact Revekka for recent comparable sales relevant to your search. A typical home value, median asking price and median closed-sale price measure different things.
The typical home value in Loomis is roughly $900,000–$950,000 in 2026, but Loomis pricing varies widely with land: downtown cottages can start in the $600,000s while gated estates in Sierra de Montserrat and turnkey horse properties in the Loomis Basin range from $1.5 million to over $3 million.
Can I keep horses on my property in Loomis?
Yes — much of Loomis is zoned for residential-agricultural use, and horse keeping is common on parcels of one acre and larger, especially in the Loomis Basin. Zoning and animal limits vary by parcel, so I verify the specific allowances on any property you're considering before you write an offer.
What school district is Loomis in?
Loomis is served by the Loomis Union School District for grades K-8 (including Loomis Grammar, Franklin, and H. Clarke Powers elementary schools), and by Del Oro High School in the Placer Union High School District — one of the most sought-after high schools in Placer County.
Is Loomis a good place to live?
Loomis offers a rare combination: rural acreage and small-town character with big-city convenience 25 miles away in Sacramento. Residents cite the schools, the low-density zoning, community events like the Eggplant Festival, and quick access to both Folsom Lake and the Roseville job corridor as the main reasons they stay.
How do I find a real estate agent in Loomis CA?
Look for an agent who knows acreage and horse property, not just suburban tract homes — well and septic systems, ag zoning, easements, and outbuilding value all affect Loomis transactions. I live in Roseville, work throughout the Loomis Basin, and I'm happy to start with a free, no-pressure consultation.
Whether you’re searching for acreage in the Loomis Basin, a custom estate in Sierra de Montserrat, or preparing to sell a property you’ve loved for decades, I’d be honored to help. Schedule a free consultation or call (208) 603-8727 — no pressure, just honest local guidance.
