If you're considering moving to Folsom, CA from the Bay Area or Los Angeles, you're probably looking for more space, a slower pace of life, and a family-friendly community. Great news: Folsom checks all those boxes—and more.

Why People Are Leaving the Bay and LA

The remote work revolution, rising costs, and urban congestion are driving Californians to find better value and quality of life in places like Folsom. Here, you can buy a home with a yard, enroll your kids in top schools, and enjoy the outdoors—all while staying within reach of major job centers.

Housing Price Comparisons

In the Bay Area or LA, $1.2 million might get you a 2-bedroom condo. In Folsom, that same budget can buy a spacious 4-bedroom home with a backyard, a three-car garage, and even a pool in some neighborhoods.

What Surprises People Most (in a Good Way)

Relocation clients often tell me how welcoming the community is, how clean and safe the city feels, and how easy it is to plug in through schools, sports, and community events. Plus, Folsom’s natural beauty—with lakes, rivers, and trails at your doorstep—is a daily luxury.

Community Culture & Local Vibes

Folsom has a relaxed, family-oriented vibe. Whether you're grabbing coffee at Reset Cafe, taking the kids to Livermore Park, or shopping local at Historic Folsom’s weekend market, you’ll feel part of a tight-knit, active community.

Commuting & Remote Work Benefits

Folsom offers a peaceful alternative to big city life while staying connected. With tech hubs in nearby Roseville and Sacramento, and Bay Area access via the Capitol Corridor train, it’s a prime location for hybrid or remote workers.
