Since 2018, multiple homebuilders have been hammering away in Folsom Ranch, an up-and-coming master-planned community about 4 miles from Downtown Folsom. The 3,500-acre space, just beyond U.S. Route 50, is now a landscape of suburban-style sub-communities with luxury homes, public parks and easy access to nearby shopping and dining. “The communities here are great – the views of the surrounding area are nice, and they have a very diversified culture,” says Real Estate Agent Shankar Pathi with Real Estate Source, who has over 5 years of experience and lives in Folsom. The neighborhood is also about 5 miles from the Intel Folsom campus, the largest employer in the area. “They’ve been in Folsom for many years, and their employees like living close by.”

Both regional and nationwide homebuilders have contributed to the community, including Toll Brothers, New Homes Company, Tri Pointe Homes and Lennar Homes. “Our customers appreciate the distinctive architecture and design of our homes, and the availability of both built-to-order and quick move-in homes,” says Scott Esping, the Toll Brothers Division President in Sacramento.Contemporary, multi-story homes are common in Folsom Ranch, with Craftsman features such as front gables, pointed roofs and front patio areas.

Celebrating each community with amenities
Most of the communities in Folsom Ranch are individual and come with their own amenities. “So far, there are clubhouses in the Russell Ranch community, and the 55 and up one. Having their own amenities helps create a community,” Pathi says. These clubhouses are outfitted with fitness centers, outdoor pools and multi-use sports courts. Russell Ranch even has an association that puts on social events throughout the year.

There’s even a fenced-in dog park on the grounds for both big and small pups. Additionally, White Rock Park is a large, grassy green space with picnic benches. For more options, several parks throughout Folsom have playgrounds and various athletic fields, such as John Kempy Community Park, Lembi Park and Livermore Community Park. “Residents of Folsom Ranch can enjoy tree-lined open space, natural creeks and streams and miles of meandering trails and bikeways just beyond their door,” Esping says.

The state park includes a sandy beach area for swimming, boating and fishing along Folsom Lake.

Traveling outside of Folsom Ranch requires a vehicle. East Bidwell Street is the area’s main thoroughfare, going through the neighborhood and connecting to downtown Folsom. Access to U.S. Route 50, known as El Dorado Freeway, is directly outside the neighborhood and can be used to travel about 25 miles west into Sacramento. “The neighborhood has a lot of access.
