Homes with amazing views
American River Canyon is a well-established community with quite the view. Located in Folsom, 24 miles northeast of Sacramento, American River Canyon sits on the banks of the American River between Lake Natoma and Folsom Lake. “The great thing is you have the view of the river, but you don’t have to worry about the river flooding because of the neighborhood’s elevation,” says Amy Aoyama of Morris Williams Realty, who has over 15 years of experience in the area. “It’s a great spot for people who love nature with the trees and water everywhere you look.” It’s also a great spot for residents who want to plant roots in the area. Well over 50% of residents are homeowners in American River Canyon, and 25% of the population is over the age of 65, which is higher than the national average.
Large lots in American River Canyon often accommodate private pools.

Fun at Folsom Lake State Recreation Area
The massive Folsom Lake State Recreation Area provides plenty of summer fun. Located just a couple miles north of the neighborhood, the massive Folsom Lake is popular for water sports, fishing and boating. Those looking to stay on land can hike, horseback ride or camp on the trails surrounding the lake. Lake Natoma borders the neighborhood to the east. This smaller lake is great for kayaking and swimming. The neighborhood features a large, densely forested area on the banks of Lake Natoma where locals can hike or set up a picnic. The Lew Howard Park, located in the neighborhood, is an ideal place for locals to shoot hoops, hit the tennis courts or explore a playground. Bikers and hikers alike will enjoy the Hinkle Creek Nature Area is on the southern tip of Howard Park and features over 36 acres of trails in the heart of the neighborhood.

Well-established homes
Most of the homes in American River Canyon are on quiet streets that often end in cul-de-sacs. They range from ranch-style homes to tri-levels to large Mediterranean-style builds. Prices can range from $550,000 to over $2 million, but most homes are in the $800,000 ballpark. “These are established homes, mostly built in the 1980s,” says Aoyama. “It’s an extremely well-maintained section of Folsom, and the huge trees really add to the color of the neighborhood.” Parking will not be an issue as homes have driveways and attached multicar garages. Most homes are on large lots with spacious yards large enough for private pools. While the majority of housing is single-family, there are a couple of apartment complexes sprinkled throughout the neighborhood.

Locals can make a short drive across Lake Natoma or use a wooden pedestrian bridge to reach the Folsom Historic District, which is home to dozens of eateries and boutique stores. “In the summer, it’s really easy to take the pedestrian bridge over to Historic Folsom for dinner,” says Aoyama. Grocery shopping is easy with Raley’s and Safeway locations west on Madison Avenue, and the Folsom Premium Outlets have endless retail options just a few miles south.
