Folsom, CA 149 Apartments for Rent

"There's people who live life authentically and there's people who live a life of fabrication. And it begins with the question of how you're gonna do your time. And these are observations I made about Folsom." (Michael Mann)

Folsom is a suburb of Sacramento and home to more than 70,000 people. Originally called Granite City, this town was renamed for its founder, Joseph Folsom, who moved here to search for gold. When Folsom died in 1855, the citizens were not rich from gold, but they were well-off due to Folsom's insistence that the railroad be built here to connect his town with Sacramento. Now, Folsom is home to an infamous prison, Rainbow Bridge, and the Johnny Cash Trail.

Moving to Folsom (With Rover!)

Some of the most beautiful house rentals in Folsom welcome the cats and dogs in your family. Expect to pay an extra deposit for your kitties and doggies that is roughly equal to the rental deposit before moving in.

You can find modern, new apartments on the lower end of the rental scale that include pool access. Luxury apartments are about double the cost of a mid-range apartment, but they are newer and offer more spacious interiors. Premier apartments also offer their residents access to more facilities, such as on-site tennis courts, larger swimming pools, and even private pools. Though there is a wide range of prices in Folsom depending on what you're looking for, expect to pay a bit more than you would in the nearby capital city.
