After World War II, the primary area for residential
development in Folsom was near Natoma Street and Duchow Way. Homes
in this area tended to be average quality production homes and were
typical for homes in the country at that time. Several of the
streets in this area were named for Folsom veterans who died during
the war. Currently these homes range in value from the high
$200,000's to the low $400,000's. Development moved east, bounded by Natoma Street to the
north and Humbug Creek to the south, and by the late 1970's and
early 1980's the large Willow Creek development was started.
Although
most Willow Creek homes were production homes built by several
different builders, there were also some custom homes in the area.
Blue Ravine Road now forms the eastern and southern boundaries of
Willow Creek. There is a broad range of values in the area from the
low $300,000's to the high $500,000's. Briggs Ranch, which opened in
the late 1980's, is south of East Natoma Street and west of Blue
Ravine Road. In Briggs Ranch you will find both good quality
production homes and very good quality custom homes ranging in price
from the low $400,000's to the low $600,000's. About the same time
that Briggs Ranch was being built, some production homes were being
built southwest of East Bidwell. Several builders have built
production homes in this area and some are still active in the area.
These homes have a broad range of value from about the low
$300,000's to the high $500,000's. Other residential possibilities in
the central area include a gated senior community, some mobile home
parks, several multi-unit properties and some custom homes.
The Central District includes several city parks, including Lembi
Park where the new Aquatic Center is now open. There is
access to Folsom Lake at Folsom Point north of East Natoma Street
across from Briggs Ranch. There are several schools in this
district, including the Riley campus of Folsom High School and the
Folsom Middle School. There are also several shopping centers in
this area, including the Wal-Mart and Target centers and several
grocery stores.
