Gilliam Meadows is one of several quiet neighborhoods in southern Elk Grove. Whitelock Parkway borders the area on the north with Blossom Ridge Drive on the West. Franklin High Road is just to the east.

Gilliam Meadows is a family-friendly community characterized by quiet, tree-lined streets. The homes, build in the late 2000s, are large and spacious. Franklin Creek flows through the neighborhood while the Franklin Creek Trail connects nearby communities and amenities. Elk Grove Charter School, Toby Johnson Middle School and Franklin High School are just blocks away.

The neighborhood is home to the eight-acre Kunsting Family Park, featuring playgrounds, sports fields, skate parks, and fitness areas. The nearby Bartholomew Sports Complex offers lighted tennis courts, various turf fields, and ball fields.

Gilliam Meadows is relatively commerce free, but is just minutes from several shopping centers, theatres, and coffee shops. Easy access to Highway 5 is ideal for commuters.
