Folsom, CA Apartments for Rent

Folsom is a city in northeastern Sacramento County set in the Sierra Nevada foothills, celebrated for its Gold Rush past and the famous Folsom State Prison where Johnny Cash performed in 1968. If you're searching for apartments for rent in Folsom, you'll discover modern apartment communities in recent developments alongside properties in historic neighborhoods near the preserved architecture of Sutter Street. With a median household income of $136,483 and more than 83,000 residents, this former mining town has grown into a bustling area with major employers like Intel Corporation and plenty of natural recreation and modern conveniences.

Renting in Folsom means easy access to outdoor fun at Folsom Lake and Lake Natoma, where water sports and shoreline trails draw recreation lovers throughout the year. The American River Bike Trail links straight to Sacramento, making it simple for cyclists to commute, while Highway 50 provides quick routes to the state capital and nearby areas. The historic district offers local shops and restaurants along Sutter Street, and ongoing development in the Folsom Plan Area south of Highway 50 keeps bringing new apartment communities and shopping options. Folsom Lake College is available for those pursuing higher education, and the extensive trail system, including the Johnny Cash Trail, gives you outdoor spaces all around the city.
