Empire Ranch makes up a large part of Folsom running along the eastern edge of the city, running right up to the base of the foothills where Folsom County meets El Dorado County. There are several different pockets of single family homes separated by schools, parks, and open space. Each pocket is differentiated by varying floorplans and sizes of homes. Most of Empire Ranch was built by one of Folsom’s busiest builders, Elliott Homes, who continues to build around the area today. Another pocket located off Haddington was built by Lennar Rennaisance.

New construction is currently underway by Lennar at Harvest and Gala along Natoma. These are beautiful homes and Lennar has a great “Everything’s Included” program where many upgrades are included in their base price. I love this development because it is surrounded by established areas of Folsom, so when the community is finished being built (maybe 2020?), it’s going to feel like it was always there. It’s within walking distance of the nearby elementary school and a huge park which they are currently adding on to. There’s great views of the foothills and the Empire Ranch Golf Course nearby as well. Did you know that I can help with new homes? I want to make sure you’re fully represented on a new home and I have a good eye for catching the details in homes to make sure it looks its best when you get keys!
