Today Newcastle is a quiet community situated in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains at 945 feet elevation. Residents here enjoy the peaceful views from their homes, the convenience of being so close to major shopping centers in Roseville and Auburn and the easy commute to Sacramento. The homes you will find here typically be situated on large lots or with acreage. You can also find vacant lots ready for you to build your own custom home. My favorite things about Newcastle are the colorful sunsets in the evenings and the drive up Taylor road and into the tunnel or the view from Indian Hill Road. Activities in Newcastle include swimming, boating, hiking or riding horses at Rattlesnake Bar on Folsom Lake. In town, you can enjoy the driving range at Home on The Range, relax with a massage at Masters Massage or enjoy a local farmers market.
