From entertainment to dining, recreation to natural outdoor beauty, excellent schools, a lively arts scene, a friendly atmosphere, and exciting business opportunities, the city of Colfax, Calfornia has much to offer prospective homebuyers. Colfax has a long, rich history and was initially known as Alder Grove. In the mid-1800s, it was a winter camping spot for gold miners and trappers, but soon the camp expanded into a village and was named Illinoistown. When Illinoistown was bypassed by the railroad, the community moved to its present location, and the named was changed to honor Schuyler Colfax, Vice President under U.S. Grant.
Today Colfax is situated along Interstate 80 with U.S. Route 40 cutting through its historic downtown. It also affords proximity to State Route 174. Freight and passenger trains still operate through its historic depot, as Colfax is a stop on the Amtrak line. The town’s motto is “Above the Fog, Below the Snow,” and it is known as the gateway to the High Sierra Mountains. Adding to its charm, the Jules Verne book, “Around the World in Eighty Days,” mentions Colfax in chapter twenty-six.
Located in Placer County, Colfax is comprised of roughly one-and-a-half square miles a few miles from the Tahoe National Forest. It is a lovely place to buy a home and has relatively diverse housing choices considering its size. Real estate in Colfax includes homes, both old and new, large and small, modest and lavish.

With every home I sell I sponsor a dog’s adoption at the Front Street Animal Shelter
You can adopt a dog yourself, let a friend or family member adopt the dog, or if you choose, I’ll sponsor the adoption in your name. Then, anyone can go down to the shelter and adopt the dog.
I usually sponsor the dog that has been at the shelter the longest. We have found that once a dog has been sponsored, even if they have been at the shelter for many months, they will usually get adopted within 2 weeks.
