History
- The modern history of El Dorado Hills dated back to the early 1960's when original developer Alan Lindsey began its development as a master planned community.
- El Dorado Hills was envisioned as a large-scale master planned community that would be completely planned form its inception as a group of residential "villages".
- The original villages of El Dorado Hills include Park Village, Ridgeview, Saint Andrews, Crown, Governor's Village, Marina Village and Lake Hills Estates.
- In the 1980's and 1990's the major part of Lake Hills estates was reorganized in to Lake Forest Village, containing the neighborhood of Waterford, The Summit, Green Valley Hills, Winterhaven, Marina Woods and Windsor Point.
- Additional villages that have developed subsequently include Fairchild, Sterlingshire, Highland Hills, Highland View and the master-planned community of Serrano.
- And here in Marina Woods, the place for one of America's top builders to show case some of its finest homes. Centex Homes and Presley Homes has selected this scenic community nestled within the master planned community of Lake Forest as the site for exceptional semi-custom homes.
