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.
