Folsom Overview

Strong public schools, a low crime rate, eclectic restaurants and the plentiful California sun? That's what you can get when renting an apartment in Folsom, California. With a population near 80,000, Folsom, located within a half-hour's drive of Sacramento, offers renters the quiet of living in the suburbs along with the big-city amenities of California's state capital. You'll have access to boutique retailers, coffee shops, parks and highly rated public schools in Folsom. And when you want the theater, sporting events and major shopping districts of a big city? You're a short drive from Sacramento. This combination makes renting an apartment in Folsom a smart move.

What is the history of Folsom?

The area that would become Folsom played a key role during the California Gold Rush during the mid 1850s.  A group of African-American 49ers were among the first to create a mining camp here. This settlement would eventually grow into the city of Folsom. The city was named after Capt. Joseph Libbey Folsom, who arrived in California with the 1st Regiment of New York Volunteers in 1847. Folsom eventually purchased a 35,000-acre land grant and hired a surveyor to lay out a town that he dubbed Granite City. After Folsom died in 1855, his executors changed the name of the town to Folsom. Plenty of history has taken place in Folsom since. The town was one of the end points of the first railroad in the west, one that ran 22 miles from Sacramento to Folsom and made its first run in 1856. Folsom is also the site of the world's first long-distance transmission of electricity. This happened at the Folsom Powerhouse in 1895, with the transmission covering the 22 miles from Folsom to Sacramento. It wasn't until the local Chamber of Commerce launched a campaign to turn Folsom into a city that it was finally incorporated in 1946. The vote? It came in at 285 in favor of incorporation and 168 in opposition.

How is the weather in Folsom?

Like hot weather? Folsom has it. Prefer chillier temps? You can find those here, too. In the summer months, temperatures can soar to 94 degrees Fahrenheit or higher on a regular basis. But in December, January and February? It's not unusual to see temperatures drop to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes Folsom a good destination for those who prefer variety in their weather.

How do I get around town?

Whether you drive, bike or rely on public transportation, you have plenty of options for getting around Folsom. If you're traveling by car, Folsom has easy access to Interstate-5 and Interstate-80, major roadways. If you need to take the bus or train, you're in luck, too. Sacramento Regional Transit District provides both bus and light rail service in Folsom. With several routes, you can take the bus to most any location in the city. Folsom also boasts three light rail stations. If you prefer to pedal, Folsom offers more than 54 miles of bike trails. 

What is the Folsom commute like?

If you're commuting from Folsom to Sacramento, expect heavier traffic during the morning and evening rush hours. But even with these heavier times, the average one-way commute in Folsom is still manageable. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the mean commute time in Folsom came in at 26.1 minutes from 2016 through 2020. The average one-way commute in the United States as a whole was a higher 27.6 minutes in 2019. Folsom provides easy access to Interstate-5, which runs north and south, and Interstate-80, which runs east and west. Folsom is the only point in the country where these two highways intersect.  Sacremento International Airport is only a 30-minute drive from Folsom, and Mather Airport, which provides executive and corporate air service, is just 10 miles away.

What are the local media outlets?

Folsom is served by the Folsom Telegraph, a local weekly newspaper, and the Sacramento Bee, the major daily newspaper serving California's capital city. Folsom residents can turn to Sacramento TV stations for their local and regional news. These include NBC-affiliated KCRA Channel 3, CBS-affiliated KOVR Channel 13 and ABC's KXTV Channel 10.

Folsom gives you plenty of reasons to leave your apartment. The city is home to two lakes, Folsom Lake and Lake Natoma. You can bike around the trails surrounding these lakes or enjoy the boating, swimming and waterskiing that they offer. The Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary is a top-rated zoo, impressive for a city of Folsom's size. If you prefer cultural activities, the Sutter Street Theatre and Harris Center both present an eclectic schedule of plays, musicals and concerts. The Folsom Premium Outlets are a great place for bargain hunters, and if you're a big fan of Johnny Cash, you can bike the Johnny Cash Trail.

Any annual festivals or Folsom events to know?
