Plenty of neighborhood events
Just east of downtown Folsom, about 24 miles from Sacramento, Willow Creek Estates South is a community that takes action. “The people here are always fundraising to make improvements to the neighborhood,” says Nanette Jones of Real Broker, who was a Willow Creek Estates South resident and has over two decades of experience in Folsom. “I was lucky to raise my kids here, and we were big participants in fundraising for Castle Park.” There is no Homeowners Association in Willow Creek Estates South, so all the community improvements are done on the initiative of the residents. Jones notes that neighbors have an active Facebook page where they plan community events like yard sales and block parties.
