Auburn California Real Estate

Claude Chana

Claude Chana discovered gold in 1848 in the creeks of Auburn just 20 miles from the original gold discovery. Since that day Auburn has developed into a charming community set in the lower foothills of the Sierra Mountains. “Old Town” consists of many of the original structures dating back to gold mining days, while “Uptown Auburn” has the delightful appeal of 1930’s Americana. Neighborhoods located within Auburn itself reflect the historical heritage of the Victorian era to the contemporary architecture of the 21st century. As neighborhoods and commercial districts radiate out from the downtown the settings become more rural with properties enjoying acreage that range from .5 acres to hundred acre ranches.
Auburn and the surrounding communities enjoy all the festivities of small town America with vintage parades, farmers markets, rodeos, and home grown events at the Gold Country Fairgrounds. Some prominent events such as Western States Endurance Run and the Tevis Cup Ride have contributed to Auburn’s nickname “The Endurance Capital of the World”. The canyons have water recreation opportunities that are thrilling and beautiful, and you may find an occasional contemporary minor panning for gold. Our small town boasts about our outstanding symphony and local artist colony. Art Walks and Studio tours show that talent and creativity thrives in beautiful oak studded hills.
I have lived in Auburn for over 25 years and had the privilege of helping folks buy and sell their homes. I may have knocked on your door and given you a notepad. I visit all of the local Auburn homes (about 5500) four times per year. A “hands on” experience has developed over the years of familiarity with the different neighborhoods, and developments. As a result of getting to know the Auburn community I occasionally have “pocket listings” that are not listed on MLS. You can search the MLS here on my website just as I do. You have access to Placer, El Dorado, Sacramento, Yolo, San Joaquin and Merced Counties, as well as local cities that extend from the Roseville/Lincoln corridor up past Alta. Select your requirements by price range, square footage, number of bedrooms or baths. The listings will provide you with the information you need including price, monthly payments, maps and satellite views of most of the properties. I am available to answer your questions, and if I am not with clients or in family time I will answer my cell phone, 530-906-0624.
