Homes for Sale in Folsom, CA

Folsom sits at the edge of the Sierra foothills about 25 minutes east of Sacramento. The master-planned communities dominate new-build inventory. Empire Ranch, Prairie Oaks Estates, and Broadstone offer family-friendly single-family homes with modern floorplans. Historic Folsom and the Sutter Street district skew smaller and more characterful, while condos and townhomes cluster near East Bidwell Street and the light-rail corridor. Willow Creek and Briggs Ranch give you more yard per dollar if you're willing to move further from downtown.

Folsom's value proposition is proximity to Sacramento jobs without the city density. Intel's Folsom campus and Kaiser Permanente are the largest local employers, with state workers commuting in from Sacramento and beyond. Folsom Cordova Unified School District is the draw for families, and Folsom Lake College and Folsom High both carry strong reputations. Summer heat is real (100°F+ stretches from June through August), and Folsom Lake plus the American River Parkway are the recreation anchors. Property tax sits near 1.15% under Prop 13, and the spring selling window (March to May) tends to clear inventory fastest.
