Whitney Oaks Community Association
|

Whitney Oaks is a tranquil master-planned community located in Rocklin, California about 25 miles
northeast of Sacramento. The community is close to commercial businesses, medical facilities,
neighborhood shopping, restaurants, and major roadways. And, the region’s Westfield Galleria Roseville
is just minutes away.
Whitney Oaks consists of about 5,000 residents and 1,877 homes. Home styles vary among the several
gated villages, offering properties to suit everyone’s needs. Homes are situated among the rolling hills and
groves of oak trees that characterize the region. It was this natural beauty together with agricultural
opportunities that inspired a famous Placer County resident, Joel Parker Whitney, to give up his search for
gold and become a rancher instead.
The Whitney Oaks Golf Club anchors the community, which features a 6,800-yard privately owned course
designed by Johnny Miller that combines a challenging layout with the natural beauty of the Sierra-Nevada
foothills. In addition to the golf course, there are many recreational opportunities within the community.
These include recreation centers, parks and hiking trails. And, nearby California State Park recreational
opportunities are available at the Auburn and Folsom Lake State Recreation Areas. State Park quality
interpretive experiences can be found in Sacramento at the Old Sacramento, Leland Stanford and Sutter’s
Fort State Historic Parks, the California State Railroad Museum, and the California State Capitol Museum.
Today, appreciation for the surrounding natural environment is an important part of Whitney Oaks, which is
home to a variety of wildlife. It is not uncommon to see wild turkeys, hawks, pheasants, geese, deer, fox,
and coyotes wandering the community’s open space, with beaver dams in the myriad creeks throughout
the area.
The Whitney Oaks Community Association is governed by an elected five member Board of Directors from
the community. Kocal Management Group, Inc. manages the association.
