A residential enclave surrounded by nature
Situated just minutes from the sparkling blue waters of Folsom Lake and the expansive State Park, Briggs Ranch offers easy access to the great outdoors. Sloping streets that reveal views of tree-spotted hills around gentle curves offer tranquil Californian landscapes. “Briggs Ranch is one of the most desirable areas to live in Sacramento County,” says Deborah Stafford, a local Realtor with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate who has 20 years of experience. “It’s a very well-established, higher-end neighborhood. It’s close to endless amenities and Historic Folsom.” Surrounded by nature and 25 miles from the vibrant streets of Sacramento, Briggs Ranch offers the classic suburban lifestyle with a twist.
A mix of homes on winding roads
Sloping residential roads give way to numerous subdivisions, including Briggs Ranch, Willow Creek Estates, Rancho Diablo and Wild Way Court. Winding streets with narrow sidewalks showcase various architectural styles, from new traditional to Split-Levels to the popular Californian L-shaped ranch-style home. “People tend to stick around,” says local Realtor Wendy Milligan who has over 30 years of experience, and their decades-long devotion to the area is illustrated by their careful landscaping. Crafted mainly in the late 1980s and 1990s, these houses are unified by their natural color scheme, which echoes tones of beige from rich coffee to light sand and come with a half-million to $1.2 million price tag. Some streets, like Briggs Ranch Drive, have dedicated bike lanes, while attached garages and private pools are standard features.
A-rated schools in Briggs Ranch
The Folsom-Cordova Unified School District serves the community and scores outstanding ratings on Niche. Within walking distance is the A-rated Folsom Hills Elementary School. Students also may attend the A-rated Folsom Middle School and the A-plus-rated Vista del Lago High School, which Niche ranks as the No. 3 best public high school in Sacramento County. The district’s School Choice program allows middle and high school students to apply for admission to another school.
Hiking in Folsom Point State Park
Residents have easy access to three popular neighborhood parks but are also steps away from the many trails in Folsom Point State Park. “Briggs Ranch is surrounded by some beautiful areas, but Folsom Lake is a huge draw,” Stafford says. A boat ramp offers easy access to Lake Folsom for a day on the water, while others can fish along the banks. For green hues over blues, Elvie Perazzo Briggs Park features sports courts for a friendly game of basketball or beach volleyball and a playground. B.T. Collins is another hilly park with a vibrantly colored playground, but this park offers more shady spots to picnic, like a 9-hole disc golf course and greenways. Joggers and bikers can head east along the Oak Parkway Trail, which merges with the Johnny Cash Trail around Downtown Folsom. Fitness enthusiasts can also opt indoors for a workout at Crunch Fitness.
Shopping along East Bidwell Street
Nearby grocery stores include 99 Ranch Market and Raleys along Blue Ravine Road. For organic produce, stores like Trader Joe’s and Sprouts Farmers Market are about 2 miles away along East Bidwell Street. Major retailers like HomeGoods, Lowe’s Home Improvement and Petco can also be found here. Numerous chains and local eateries are scattered around Briggs Ranch. Saturday morning breakfast runs are easy at Posh Bagel or head to Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters for a light breakfast sandwich and handcrafted brew. For a cold margarita, happy hours are packed at local spots like Folsom Tap House Sports Bar & Grill and Mexquite Mexican Restaurant. Locals can also indulge in the healing warmth of pho at Pho Mimia.
From races to rodeos
Folsom holds numerous annual events that range from 50 mile races to outdoor concerts. “There’s just a lot of activity. Downtown Folsom has events almost every weekend, especially in the summer,” Stafford says. Every Thursday from June to September, locals can enjoy live music at the Zittel Family Amphitheater about 3 miles away in Historic Folsom during the Summer Twilight Concert Series. Another notable event is the Folsom Pro Rodeo. Held over the Fourth of July weekend, residents and visitors alike can saddle up and enjoy an authentic Western experience that ranges from bull riding to live music, food vendors and firework displays.
Commutes to Sacramento
Briggs Ranch is mainly a car-dependent area. However, some bus stops are nearby along Blue Ravine Road. Other main roadways include East Natoma Street and U.S. Route 50. Commuters have about a 25 mile drive to Sacramento or a 4 mile drive to the Historic Folsom Station to catch the Gold Line. Those looking to travel further can book a flight at Sacramento International Airport, about 35 miles away. Other essential establishments include Mercy Hospital of Folsom, 2 miles away, and surrounding houses of worship.
Folsom Prison Blues
Johnny Cash’s famous song Folsom Prison Blues originally put this city on the map, as the Folsom Prison, Folsom Women’s Facility and the California State Prison are clustered less than 3 miles away. Yet its proximity doesn’t faze homebuyers. “It’s well hidden and historical so no one really minds it. People really enjoy visiting the area. There’s even the Folsom Prison Museum,” Stafford says. The Johnny Cash Trail, a hiking trail on the outskirts of the prison grounds, is another attraction that leads to sweeping views of Folsom Lake. Even with its proximity, Briggs Ranch earns a crime score of 3 out of 10, slightly lower than the national average of 4, according to the CAP Index.
