Folsom is a pretty suburban place. However, these last 5 years there have been a lot of construction for new houses and schools along the highway so the place is becoming busier. This place is pretty sheltered as well from the outside world. There is a balanced demographic of people as well and everyone generally can feel welcome! There are many lovely restaurants filled with different cuisines! My personal favorite is the boba shops and Thai/Indian restaurants! Once a couple days, I enjoy walking at the local malls (we have 2!) with friends and going out to eat as well! There are many lovely parks and trails as well! Over quarantine, I enjoyed biking along Johnny Cash Trail all the way up to Folsom Dam! I also enjoyed having small picnics with friends at Folsom Lake! Old Folsom is also really nice and every once in awhile, there's a market on Saturdays that I enjoy attending!
Folsom is a very nice and safe town. It has great weather, not being too cold in the winter and not downpouring when it rains. It does get rather hot in the summer because it is California, but it is not too bad. It is a pretty big town with lots of nature, being known for its nature as well. It has a scenic downtown section, a zoo, community pool, plenty of parks, and plenty of great restaurants as well. There is a decent amount of activities to be enrolled in as well, such as local school's sports, rock climbing businesses, taekwondo and other martial art schools, dance schools, and music school.
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.
