Natoma Station
Suburban Neighborhood in Folsom, California
Sacramento County 95630
Tile roofs and pools: fast turnarounds in heated market
These Spanish ranch-styles and two-stories were mostly built in the 1990s, but they’ve often been renovated. Tight yards and narrow pools are common, and abundant trees provide privacy from close-by neighbors. “It’s an older part of Folsom, but it’s got a nice grouping of houses,” says Mark Speelman, a Realtor and former real estate appraiser with 20-plus years of experience. “It has a lot of trees, which is different than a lot of communities in the city. Some of the newer areas don’t have them, whereas in Natoma Station, they’re very mature. There are a couple of streets in there that are just beautiful.” Three-bedrooms range from $530,000 to $610,000, while four-beds are likely upwards of $700,000. The average home value has risen by 21% in the past three years, topping out at $680,000 for March 2024. The market has started turning quickly here, too, as the average home now sells in 14 days; this is 28 days quicker than the national average.Neighborhood parks and Lake Natoma, Folsom Lake
Right next to the elementary schools, the lawns of Natoma Station Neighborhood Park are popular with kids, families and anyone looking for some outside time. Its northernmost softball and baseball fields are in the backyard of Kids Inc. Preschool, and its western tennis courts are accessible via Natoma Station Drive. The neighborhood’s two mini parks, Deer/Rabbit and Bigfoot, feature public art and playgrounds, and they’re in walking distance of most houses. Moving north across Folsom Boulevard, Willow Creek Recreation Area has 1500-plus acres of hiking, camping and fishing, and its boat ramp provides access to Lake Natoma. This lake — more of a wide tributary — is just downstream from the American River, and kayakers can paddle 5 miles north toward Folsom Lake. While a dam blocks direct access to this 12,000-acre reservoir, they can drive east to Folsom Point State Park and put in there. Trout and bass fishing is another option, or they might try the 32-mile-long bike path that connects to other county parks.All A’s for its elementary, middle and high school
Natoma Station Elementary School, on the northern side of the neighborhood, is rated an A by Niche and ranks in the top five public elementary schools for Sacramento County. These 500 students are guided through social-emotional practices, such as monthly challenges focused on character development, and these methods have been proven to increase academic achievement by 11 percentile points. Toward historic Folsom, Sutter Middle is also rated an A by Niche and ranks in the county’s top five middle schools. It was also recognized as a California Distinguished School for 2024. Folsom High, just east of Natoma Station, is rated an A-plus by Niche and serves 2,700 students. Its football team won the state championship in 2024, and its campus hosts the Folsom Jazz Festival every year.Events and entertainment in historic Folsom
The old-timey storefronts in downtown Folsom may evoke the Wild West, but these boutiques and outdoor patios are a lot calmer than they were in the 1850s. Now, Sutter Street attracts tourists and locals alike, and Natoma Station residents can travel here for their fix of local events. Year-round farmers markets on Saturdays and occasional plays at Sutter Street Theater can keep them busy; they might attend a summer concert at Zittel Family Amphitheater or visit one of five galleries.Sacramento Regional Light Rail, Route 50
While most residents have personal vehicles, the Sacramento Regional Light Rail provides service along Folsom Boulevard, and this Gold Line leads 20 miles into Sacramento. “A lot of people come from downtown into the outlet mall,” says Realtor Mark Speelman. “But it’s nice if you live in Natoma Station because you can take the Lightrail to work.” Drivers can use Route 50, also known as the El Dorado Freeway.Folsom Premium Outlets and local restaurants
West of the suburb, Folsom Premium Outlets has over 80 designer and casual stores: Coach is neighbors with Forever 21, and a Nike Factory Store shares a wall with Perfumania. Shoppers can take a break at the area’s Cinemark or visit one of the area’s fast-food restaurants. While there are a couple sit-down places here, foodies can drive two miles up Folsom Boulevard for local fare. Thai on Tap, Curry Club and Tao’s HotPot & Shabu are among several options here. Nearby Mel’s Diner has been around since 1947, and it caters to breakfast, lunch and dinner.
