My girls are really into the christmas lights this year. Does anyone know of a street that is decked out with holiday cheer? I would love to take them around to see some beautiful displays!

Thanks!

Dovewood Court in Orangevale is always a great spot.

There's a street in Lexington Hills that's always outstanding. It's off Prewett, near Silberhorn. Sorry, but I can't remember the street name. From Silberhorn, turn onto Prewett. Take your first right and then take your first left. The street is on the right. You might want to park and walk. The residents are also very open and friendly.

don't even try driving through the court. you'll miss half of what there is to see. park on the street (Walnut?) and walk through.

We love Dovewood Court. They usually conduct a canned food drive as well (bins located at the far end of the court) so bring some food. We always park a few blocks away and walk so we can take our time. It's the best light display we've seen.

There are those couple streets behind the Bel Air in Stanford Ranch that go all out every year.

I just caught on the news last night a house in Carmichael (can't remember the street) where the guy put about 30K into his lighting system. He hired a software engineer to come in and program the lights to music. He has an FM transmitter in his yard that will tune to 107.1 on your car stereo. Talk about going all out......

I saw that on the news last night also (Channel 3, 11pm news). I jotted down the address..... it is 6425 Meadowhill Drive, Carmichael. There also was a date when it starts officially, but don't remember what that date was. I tried going to www.kcra.com to find the info, but couldn't find it anywhere on their site this morning.

there is a street in Roseville, I think its called Pebble Creek Drive and Strand Drive. It is like a circle drive that is nothing but Disney characters. You can Walk or drive, Always see lots of Limos there. Its close to the corner of Stanford Ranch and Sunset Blvd. in Stanford Ranch.

Another is Orelle Creek Ct close to Wachtel andAuburn Road in Citrus Heights.

Has anyone ever taken the Christmas eve drive through the housing development accross from Beals Point recreation area. The entire development is lined with lumineries and many houses are decorated, a few Dramatically.

Then there is one house on the corner of Byrne ct and IllsleyWay in Folsom.

[FolsomBarb]

There is a map at this link with some houses on a map, including the one from the news last night. It says they'll be adding more houses as people send in the info.....

Thats the streets of the one in Rocklin I was refering to. It seems easier to just park at the Bel Air and walk. You would see much more that way than driving. There has to be 100 houses that are decorated. Some a lot more than others. There is that one person that converts his 3rd car garage into a scene with an automated Santa. A couple years ago one guy had a x-mas tree busting through his second story roof. To me its not worth the effort to go to that court in Orangevale when its easier to go up to Rocklin for the same effort and see 10 times as much.

Down in the Elmhurst neighborhood of Sacramento, there's an awesome couple of blocks of lights. I think it's about T Street & 53rd Street. Definintely worth the trip. Get out of your car and walk around. Oftentimes there's a Santa out giving out candy to the kids.
