With the Sierra Nevada foothills in the distance and a greenbelt running through the neighborhood, Los Cerros, which means “the hills” in Spanish, is a picturesque place to call home. Residences in the western section of the community sit adjacent to the scenic Willow Creek Bike Trail.
Los Cerros is located in zip code 95630. Lake Folsom lies to the north of the neighborhood, downtown Folsom to the northwest, and the Highway 50 to the south.
A highlight of living in Los Cerros is the community park that sits just outside the neighborhood to the south. This site has a football field, two baseball diamonds, volleyball courts, and a playground.
Off-road enthusiasts enjoy traveling south into the foothills to the Prairie City State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA). The rugged terrain travels open fields and rolling hills, offering riders of all skill levels a chance to explore. Prairie City SVRA is named after the gold rush community once located a short distance to the northeast of the park. The 1850 community provided a temporary home to individuals who made their way west during the Gold Rush. Today the only evidence of the former city include old mine tailings and a historical marker located at Prairie City Road and Highway 50.
Students living in Los Cerros appreciate the fact that the Folsom Lake Community College is located right outside of the neighborhood to the east. The school offers a variety of associate degrees and certificate programs.
For the convenience and safety of all residents, Mercy Hospital of Folsom is located next door to the north. This comprehensive medical facility provides all levels of healthcare from emergency services to preventative care.
