Placer One City is a 2,200-acre master-planned community in unincorporated Placer County, one mile west of Highway 65, with the City of Roseville along its southern edge (per placerone.com, checked September 2026). Four builders are selling new homes there today. This page holds the live MLS feed for the community, the guide I'd give you across a table before your first sales-office visit, and straight answers to the questions I hear most.
Okay, start with the name, because it trips people up. Placer One City is not a city. It's a master-planned community on 2,200 acres of unincorporated Placer County, approved under what the county calls the Sunset Area Plan and previously known as the Placer Ranch Specific Plan (per placerone.com, checked September 2026). If you searched "Placer Ranch" a few years ago, this is the same ground.
The plan calls for about 5,600 homes at build-out across 19 villages, in single-family, higher-density and age-restricted housing (per placerone.com, checked September 2026). Beside the homes it plans a 300-acre Sacramento State Placer campus, a 200-acre Town Center and roughly five million square feet of commercial space (per placerone.com, checked September 2026). It's also Placer County's first all-electric master-planned community, which I'll come back to, because it changes one of the questions you ask at the sales office.
The partnership behind it is Placer County, Sacramento State, Sierra College, Jen Partners, and Taylor Builders, the Roseville company that is the master developer (per placerone.com, checked September 2026). One name check that matters: Taylor Builders develops the whole community. Taylor Morrison is one of the four homebuilders. Different companies, and an easy mix-up.
The way I explain the scale to my buyers is to point at Fiddyment Farm, WestPark, and JMC's Sierra Vista villages a few miles south. Those were drawings once too, and they filled in over years, not months. The difference is that all three are inside the City of Roseville. Placer One is not, and that one fact runs through the tax bill, the services, and the mailing address.
The community sits one mile west of Highway 65, and its southern boundary is the Roseville city line (per placerone.com, checked September 2026). The Sunset Boulevard extension runs through the middle of it and is the road you'll use for every model-home visit. From there you're on the 65 in a few minutes, and the 65 gets you to the 80 toward Sacramento or Tahoe, or north toward Lincoln. The Galleria and the Fountains in Roseville are the closest large shopping, because there is no retail inside the community yet.
Placer Parkway, the road that would eventually connect Highway 65 to Highway 99, exists today as a three-mile right-of-way. It is planned, not built, and no construction date is published (per placerone.com, checked September 2026). If a sales rep mentions it as your commute route, ask when.
The mailing address for a Placer One home reads Roseville. The house is in the county. That means Placer County issues the permits, maintains the roads, and the Sheriff, not Roseville Police, answers the emergency call. It isn't better or worse. It's different, and you should know it before you sign, not after.
Four builders have neighborhoods at Placer One right now. I've walked the models that are open and I go back as villages open. I don't work for any builder, and nothing on this page is a pitch for one of them. Starting prices are deliberately left off this page because they move week to week. Check the builder's own page for this week's number, or call me and I'll tell you what I saw on my last visit.
JMC is a Roseville-based builder, in business about fifty years, with five neighborhoods here: Glenfield, Northfield, Parkfield, Deerfield, and Bridgefield (per jmchomes.com, checked September 2026). Glenfield and Northfield are the single-story neighborhoods, Glenfield in two- and three-bedroom plans and Northfield in three- and four-bedroom plans. Parkfield and Deerfield mix one- and two-story plans. Bridgefield is the largest, two-story with four to six bedrooms and detached guest-suite options, and it had its grand opening in February 2026 (per jmchomes.com, checked September 2026).
The fact worth knowing about JMC: they list owned solar as included in every Placer One neighborhood (per jmchomes.com, checked September 2026). Hold onto that. It's the like-for-like question for the other three.
KB has four neighborhoods: Canterbury, Cambridge, Brighton, and Bristol (per kbhome.com, checked September 2026). Canterbury is two-story in three- and four-bedroom plans. Cambridge has one- and two-story plans. Bristol runs up to six bedrooms. KB's published starting prices carry the words "plus cost of solar," so a KB base number and a JMC base number are not the same kind of number (per kbhome.com, checked September 2026). KB's design studio is where the base price moves. Ask what's standard before you fall for a model.
Taylor Morrison has two neighborhoods announced, Aria and Sonata, both two-story, Aria in three- and four-bedroom plans and Sonata in three- to five-bedroom plans. As of this writing both are listed as coming late 2026 with an interest list only, and there is nothing to tour yet (per taylormorrison.com, checked September 2026).
Pulte is selling at Rose at Placer One (per newhomesource.com, checked September 2026). Pulte's own site would not load when I checked, so confirm current plans and availability at pulte.com or at the sales center.
This is the section I'd read twice. Phase 1 infrastructure is described as nearly complete, homes are for sale, and more are under construction (per placerone.com, checked September 2026). Streets are in. Model rows are open. People live here.
Most of what's past that is closer to a rendering than a neighborhood. Four parks are set to open in 2028, out of six parks and two paseos planned for Phase 1. The Welcome Center is also targeted for 2028. The Town Center is being built one block at a time with no opening date published for any piece of it. The campus master plan is approved by the CSU Trustees and no date for classes is published (per placerone.com, checked September 2026). Phases 2 through 4 are drawings.
So here's my honest take, the same one I give in the car. You'll have construction traffic and dust for years. There's no grocery store or coffee inside the community until the Town Center exists. Resale comps don't exist yet, so nobody can tell you what a Placer One home is worth on the resale market, including me. On the other side, the Phase 1 infrastructure is in, four builders are selling, and what's on the ground matches the plan so far. You do what's comfortable for you. My job is to make sure the brochure and the dirt are the same thing in your head.
The Phase 1 parks are described by their equipment, and two of them have themes. The nature park has a treehouse playground, a Viking swing, a rope spider web, and climbing boulders. The STEM park has a DNA structure, a music station, a tech lounge, and barbecues (per placerone.com, checked September 2026). Four of the parks open in 2028.
The Sacramento State Placer campus is planned at 300 acres, with a Sierra College extension, and is sized for 12,000 full-time-equivalent students at full build-out (per placerone.com and csus.edu, checked September 2026). Placer County has approved design work for a forensic science lab on the site (per csus.edu, checked September 2026). No opening date for classes is published, and I won't guess one. Treat the campus as an institution and an employer that's coming, not as something you can see this year.
The Town Center is 200 acres of planned mixed use (per placerone.com, checked September 2026). One block at a time, no date. When a rep tells you the shops are coming soon, ask which block and which year.
This is the part almost nobody explains at the model home. Because Placer One is in the county and not in a city, Placer County formed a special-tax district to pay for the services a city would otherwise provide. It's the County of Placer Community Facilities District No. 2024-1, formed under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act, with the Board of Supervisors' resolution of intention dated September 24, 2024 (per placer.ca.gov CFD Report, checked September 2026). The special tax funds sheriff patrol, fire and emergency response, ambulance, road maintenance and street lights, storm drainage, parks and trail upkeep, and transit (per the same report).
It shows up as its own line on the property tax bill, separate from the base rate. I'm not going to give you a number for what it adds to your bill. Every lot's assessment can differ, and a figure on a web page would be wrong for somebody. What I tell every buyer: ask the sales office for the special-tax disclosure and the Rate and Method of Apportionment for the exact lot, and take both documents to your CPA before you sign. That's the whole tax conversation until the paperwork is in front of you.
Two more questions for every sales office. First, does this village have an HOA, and what does it cover. The answer differs by builder and by village. Second, since the community is all-electric, which utility serves this lot, Roseville Electric or PG&E. The rep should be able to tell you who bills you. I'm not going to quantify utility costs, and neither should they. Payment and financing questions go to your lender.
The builders currently list Diamond Creek Elementary and Robert C. Cooley Middle, both in Roseville City School District, and Roseville High in Roseville Joint Union High School District (per the builders' pages, checked September 2026). Placer One's own elementary and middle schools are planned for future phases (per placerone.com, checked September 2026).
Boundaries and assignments change, especially in a community that is still being built. Confirm the assignment for any specific lot with the district before you decide anything based on a school. I name schools. I don't rate them, and I'd be careful with anyone who does.
No. The mailing address reads Roseville, and the community's southern edge is the Roseville city line, but Placer One City sits in unincorporated Placer County (per placerone.com, checked September 2026). The county handles permits, roads and law enforcement, and a special-tax district funds those services.
Four as of September 2026: JMC Homes, KB Home, Taylor Morrison, and Pulte Homes (per each builder's site, checked September 2026). JMC and KB have models open. Taylor Morrison's Aria and Sonata are listed as coming late 2026. Pulte is selling at Rose at Placer One. Taylor Builders, a separate company, is the master developer of the whole community.
Each builder publishes a starting price for its base house and changes it often, so I don't print prices here. Check the builder's own page for this week's number, and ask whether solar is included, leased, or extra, because that changes what the starting price means. Call or text me at 916-767-1897 and I'll tell you what I saw on my most recent visit.
It's a special tax from the County of Placer Community Facilities District No. 2024-1, formed under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act to fund sheriff, fire, ambulance, roads, drainage, parks, and transit for the community (per placer.ca.gov CFD Report, checked September 2026). It appears as its own line on the property tax bill. Ask the sales office for the disclosure and the Rate and Method of Apportionment for your lot, and take both to your CPA.
No opening date is published. The Town Center is 200 acres of planned mixed use being built one block at a time as the villages around it fill in (per placerone.com, checked September 2026). Four Phase 1 parks and the Welcome Center are targeted for 2028.
The builder's sales rep works for the builder. That's not a knock, it's the job. Having someone on your side who has walked the models, read the disclosures, and knows what's standard versus upgrade changes what you ask and when. Call me before you sit down in a sales office, and if my answer is "not yet," that's a fine answer.
Builders list Diamond Creek Elementary and Robert C. Cooley Middle in Roseville City School District, and Roseville High in Roseville Joint Union High School District (per the builders' pages, checked September 2026). Placer One's own schools are planned for later phases. Confirm the assignment for any address with the district.
I've walked the models at Placer One and I go back as villages open. If you're comparing builders, trying to understand the tax line, or just want to know which village actually has homes available this year, call or text me at 916-767-1897. Any builder, any phase. No pressure, and no sales rep in the room.
A little about me, if you want it, is on my page. If you're also looking inside the city line, the Roseville homes for sale page runs the same way as this one.
