El Dorado Hills (EDH), as defined by the 2010 [[census-designated place]] (CDP), is at the western border of El Dorado County, between the City of Folsom and the unincorporated community of Cameron Park. The northern limits of the CDP are Folsom Lake and the South Fork of the American River, where river rafters use Skunk Hollow and Salmon Falls as takeout landings. West of Latrobe Road, the south edge of the CDP follows railroad tracks formerly used by the Southern Pacific between the cities of Folsom and Placerville. East of Latrobe Road the south edge follows topography running roughly east–west.

The 2010 CDP has a land area of {{convert|48.606|sqmi|km2}}, more than double the size of its boundaries in 2000 CDP, which was {{convert|17.9|sqmi|km2}}.

The subsurface environment of El Dorado Hills is relatively free of [[groundwater]] and [[soil contamination]], based upon an areawide analysis of the potential for [[pesticide]] contamination and evaluation of underground storage tanks.(Earth Metrics, 1989)

===Climate===
According to the [[Köppen climate classification]], El Dorado Hills has a [[Mediterranean climate#Hot-summer Mediterranean climate|hot-summer Mediterranean climate]] (abbreviated ''Csa'').
