Single Family Homes

Single-family home permits continue to indicate Roseville retains its position as one of the most desirable areas for new homes in the region, with 885 total permits projected for 2017.

This consistent level over the past three years reflects a steady recovery from the recession. It also indicates a positive response to demand for a community that offers a high quality of life including low crime rates, great schools, and outstanding civic amenities including parks, recreation, and libraries.

Commercial Investment

The past few years have seen significant business investment in Roseville including a new regional headquarters for the FBI, expansion of healthcare campuses, and addition of entertainment venues such as Top Golf and iFly.

In 2017, we’re projecting 10 new commercial construction projects totaling more than 700,000 square feet of development and $60 million in capital investment.

A balanced economy is a cycle that fuels itself. While there’s no one place where the cycle begins or ends, we do know that great schools and jobs attract new residents; that new residents spur demand for new homes; and that a strong workforce draws employers, and the cycle continues. Ensuring this environment retains its vitality is one of our top priorities as a city.
