6 Simple Steps to Find the Right Floor Plan at Elliott Homes’ Rio Del Oro Community

At Elliott Homes, we know that finding the perfect floor plan is one of the most exciting and important steps in your homebuying journey. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, upgrading for more space, or right-sizing to something more manageable, your home’s layout should reflect the way you live every day. With over 100 years of experience building new homes in Sacramento, Phoenix, and Yuma, our team has guided countless families through this process, helping them find a design that truly feels like home.

And right now, there’s no better place to explore your options than Rio Del Oro in Rancho Cordova, CA—a stunning master-planned community that blends modern living with the natural beauty of the Sacramento area. With three distinct Elliott Homes neighborhoods—Placer, Sutter, and Coloma—each offering a range of thoughtfully designed floor plans, you’re sure to find a home that perfectly fits your lifestyle.

Step 1: Know Your Lifestyle Needs

Before diving into details like square footage and finishes, start by thinking about how you live. Do you prefer single-story convenience or a two-story layout with extra space upstairs? Are you looking for an open-concept design for entertaining or a cozy, traditional setup with defined rooms?

At Rio Del Oro, Elliott Homes offers something for everyone. From the cozy and efficient Plan 1683 at Coloma to the spacious and family-friendly Plan 2353 at Sutter, our homes are designed with real life in mind. Whether you’re a young professional, a growing family, or an empty nester, there’s a home here to match your rhythm.

Step 2: Explore Community Options

Rio Del Oro spans over 3,800 acres in Rancho Cordova, combining homes, parks, schools, and even future commercial spaces to create a true live-work-play environment. Within this master plan, Elliott Homes proudly offers three unique neighborhoods:

• Placer at Rio Del Oro – Featuring larger single-story and two-story homes from 2,130 to 3,127 sq. ft., with elegant architectural styles and options for multi-generational living.
• Sutter at Rio Del Oro – Offering mid-sized floor plans from 1,566 to 2,353 sq. ft., ideal for families who want both comfort and convenience.
• Coloma at Rio Del Oro – The newest addition, featuring more attainable homes from 1,262 to 1,794 sq. ft. with both single- and two-story options.

Each community provides easy access to local dining, shopping, breweries, wineries, and the American River Parkway, along with excellent connectivity to downtown Sacramento.

Step 3: Compare Floor Plan Features

Once you’ve identified your preferred community, take a closer look at the features that matter most to you. Do you need a dedicated home office? A spacious great room? A private owner’s suite away from the secondary bedrooms?

For example, Plan 1794 at Coloma offers a two-story layout with a large open living area downstairs and all bedrooms upstairs, while Plan 2787 at Placer features a generous, unique design perfect for those who love seamless indoor-outdoor living. At Elliott Homes, every plan is built for comfort, style, and long-term functionality.

Step 4: Consider Long-Term Value

Step 5: Tour Our Model Homes

Nothing compares to walking through a model home in person. It’s the best way to visualize how your furniture will fit, how natural light fills each space, and how the home feels overall.
