Folsom CA is a wonderful town to live in! Set just before the foothills, it is a fantastic place to reside or vacation. The American River is a focal point in the city offering water-sports, like kayaking, tubing, and paddle boarding; It also has many wonderful trails which people can hike or bike ride. Many people spend most of their days outdoors enjoying the warm California sun while performing their favorite hobbies. If you enjoy shopping or dining there is the newly crafted Palladio and there is old town Folsom which offers historic buildings. Folsom is also wonderful for families, parents can be sure their children are going to excellent schools and their are many complexes which offer sports. Overall, there is something here for everyone to enjoy and I absolutely love it.
Folsom is one of the most friendly communities in the Sacramento county. Neighborhoods are clean, safe, and kid-friendly. The housing, streets, and feel for the area is wonderful and only positive! The only complaint is the lack of diversity or major job opportunities, there are few that actually lie in Folsom itself. Folsom is a near perfect place to live, but you might need to think of a commute to work if you are serious about that and maintaining a full-time job. The schooling and communities involved in this city are simply amazing as well. One of the main issues, however, is that this is a very expensive city to live in as well.
We moved from the Bay Area and we were so surprised by how incredibly nice everybody is here! Strangers greet you and talk to you like old friends. At first we were weirded out bc we’re definitely not used to that - but now I can’t imagine a better environment to raise my kids in.
Neighbors are down to earth. They’re the ones that will invite you over for a backyard beer and proactively introduce their kids to yours so that you feel at home. We were so worried about the kids making friends in a new town but it feels like the kids here are raised to welcome new kids - and we are loving it. No regrets whatsoever. We’re home!
