More housing for Folsom

Unlike other parts of the state, Folsom’s actively working against the housing shortage with new development opportunities. The latest, a multifamily apartment complex, will feature one to three-bedroom units, a clubhouse, a pool, and a fitness center. 

A banner year for wildflowers

We’ve seen some incredible super blooms at Folsom Lake in the last few years. With a record-setting winter almost behind us, it will be interesting to see if this spring and summer deliver a similar record-setting year for wildflowers. Any takers for guesses?
