Today, Historic Placerville is a charming historic community that offers an excellent blend of old small town buildings and modern amenities. The streets are lined with restaurants, stores, specialty shops, museums, and other local businesses. Several events and festivals attract tourists from all over to take part in the rich history and culture of the area. Homes that are within the historic district are mostly single-family homes in suburban communities. These residences no longer have the same historic feel such as the buildings along Main Street, but are much more appropriate for families looking for a comfortable place to live.
