  • 5 Hidden Gems Near Lake Wildwood Worth Knowing Before You Move,Bob Sawyer

    5 Hidden Gems Near Lake Wildwood Worth Knowing Before You Move

    Most people looking at Lake Wildwood start with the lake, the golf course, and the gate. All good reasons. But I have lived in Nevada County for over 40 years, and the hidden gems near Lake Wildwood are what keep my clients here long after the move-in boxes are unpacked. Lake Wildwood sits in Penn V

    3 Things I'd Do Before Making an Offer in Lake Wildwood

    Lake Wildwood, in Penn Valley, is one of two gated lake communities in Nevada County, and buyers ask me about it all the time. It has an 18-hole golf course, a clubhouse, a pool, and tennis and pickleball courts. It is also a little closer to Grass Valley than its sister community, Lake of the Pines

    5 Curb Appeal Fixes to Sell Your Lake Wildwood Home Faster

    If you're getting ready to list a home in Lake Wildwood, curb appeal carries a little more weight here than it does in a typical Nevada County neighborhood. Buyers who tour a gated golf and lake community are already picturing a certain lifestyle before they get out of the car, and a home that looks

    Lake Wildwood vs. Auburn: Which Sierra Foothills Lifestyle Fits You

    I get some version of this question almost every month: should we look at Lake Wildwood, or should we look at Auburn? Both sit in the Sierra Foothills. Both draw plenty of people leaving the Bay Area and Sacramento. But Lake Wildwood vs Auburn is really a choice between two different ways of living,

    7 Mistakes First-Time Homebuyers Make in Lake Wildwood, CA

    I've walked a lot of first-time buyers through their first offer in Lake Wildwood, and the same few mistakes show up again and again. It's a beautiful gated community in Penn Valley, and it's different enough from a typical Grass Valley or Nevada City purchase that buyers who don't know what to expe

    5 Hidden Gems Bay Area Transplants Find After Moving to Nevada County

    I talk to a lot of people moving to Nevada County from the Bay Area and Sacramento, and almost all of them tell me the same thing after their first few months here. It wasn't the price of a house that sold them, even though that's usually what started the search. It was some small, specific thing th

    Lake Wildwood vs. Lake of the Pines: Which Fits You

    If you have narrowed your Nevada County search to a gated lake community, you have probably landed on the same two names everyone else does. I get asked to compare Lake Wildwood vs Lake of the Pines almost every month, usually from a Bay Area or Sacramento buyer who wants lake life without giving up

  • Why Sacramento Families Are Choosing Lake Wildwood Over the Suburbs,Bob Sawyer

    Why Sacramento Families Are Choosing Lake Wildwood Over the Suburbs

    I keep having the same conversation with clients driving up from Sacramento. They walk into a home in Lake Wildwood, catch a glimpse of the lake through the pines, and start doing quiet math on their current mortgage versus what a similar budget buys out here. Lake Wildwood real estate has become on

    Nevada City vs. Lake Wildwood: Which Sierra Foothills Lifestyle Fits You

    I get this question a lot from buyers relocating to the Sierra Foothills: should I look in Nevada City or Lake Wildwood? They're only about fifteen minutes apart, but they offer two completely different ways of living. One is a walkable historic town full of Victorian houses and live music. The othe
