Folsom is great place to be, especially if your living in Old Folsom. its in a great location and everything you would want to do or need is only a mile away. Its Surrounded by National parks, and is down the street from city hall, Folsom library(brand new) and
the zoo. Also the rodeo that’s held every year, is also within a mile of Old Folsom. In the link of above you will see the 33 mile bike path along the American river. It
connects to down town Sac. The nearest sports facility is a little over two miles but
there is parks surrounding the whole area so there is plenty of room to get exercise. 
There is a lot of positives to living in this area. All of the houses have their own story to them an every piece of land has history behind it. little to people know that the first dam in Folsom is located right behind the housing development and its not really recognized. Also the Folsom Powerhouse State Historic
Park is a minute walk from all the houses. The Folsom Powerhouse is one of
the oldest hydroelectric facilities in the world. Facilities include lake access (via a
trail), picnic facilities, a museum, a gift shop, and small parking areas. Plus the redevelopment agency
allocated $10 million for revitalization of Sutter Street, $14 million for a
multi-story parking structure in the Historical Railroad Block, and $10 million
for a public plaza in the Historical Railroad Block. The negatives to this area would be that since the houses have some age to them they might need some work.
