Luxury living on the lake and links
In the Sierra Nevada foothills and on the bank of Folsom Lake sits the luxury neighborhood of Empire Ranch Village. While home prices may be high, locals are also big on fun. “People move here to be close to the lake and Empire Ranch Golf Club, which is one of the best public courses in the area,” says Jeanne Peterson of Lyon Real Estate, with over 100 sales in the Folsom area. “I’ve been out on the lake three times already this week and am going again after work this afternoon because when the weather gets warm, that’s where we all get together.” Empire Ranch Village sits about 23 miles from Sacramento, so many residents commute into the state capital for work. The neighborhood has top-rated schools and holds a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10 for violent crime on the CAP Crime Index, compared to the national average score of 4.

Folsom Lake and Empire Ranch golf
Folsom Lake serves as a prime recreation spot in the summer months. The Lake has sandy beaches, swimming areas with lifeguards on duty and is ideal for boating and fishing. Those who don’t like to be in the water can still enjoy the views while hiking or horseback riding on the many trails around Folsom Lake. Inside the neighborhood limits, Nisenan Community Park has something with everyone with a playground for children, basketball courts and sports fields. Parkgoers can cool off in the summer at the newly installed spray park. Residents hit the links at Empire Ranch Golf Club, which features a public championship 18-hole course and can get a workout in at Orangetheory Fitness.
Golfers work on their form at the Empire Ranch Golf Club driving range.
Many people not up for a more strenuous trail walk by Folsom Lake try the milder levy walk instead.

Schools that shine
Kids in Empire Ranch Village attend the highly-rated Folsom Cordova Unified School District. “All throughout Folsom, the schools are great, but this pipeline is really special,” says Peterson. Families on the neighborhood’s south side will send their kids to Russell Ranch Elementary, while those north will attend Empire Oaks Elementary. Both schools have an A rating on Niche. Next is Folsom Middle School, which has an A rating and was named the top public middle school in Sacramento County. Teens attend the relatively new Vista Del Lago High School, which opened in 2007. One of the top schools for college prep in all of California, Vista Del Lago, has a perfect A-plus Niche rating.

Newer homes on the course

Condos range from $400,000 to $500,000, while single-family houses start around $750,000 and range up to $1.5 million.

Mimosa House and Mexquite Mexican
Diners head to the west side of the neighborhood for plenty of authentic offerings off Natoma Street. “Depending on where you live, restraunts and shopping can be walking distance from your home,” says Peterson. Mexquite Mexican is an upscale twist on authentic cuisine and is an ideal spot for a happy hour margarita. Mimosa House is a local favorite for weekend brunch, and Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters is popular for its specialty lattes. Sushi fans can head to Hisui for a selection of specialty rolls. For groceries, Raley’s is a convenient option right off Natoma. Retail shoppers can head just a few miles away to Folsom Square Mall.
