The oldest homes in Folsom are located in the Historic District. These homes tend to be on the “grid” streets, within walking distance of historic Sutter Street. Some homes in this area were built in the late 1800s and many have undergone extensive renovation. There are some very large multi-level Victorian style homes, but more are smaller bungalow style homes. Many of these homes have been in the same family for many years, and are seldom available to purchase. When they are available, there is a wide range of prices, with some valued close to a million dollars. There are also some newer homes of various styles in the Historic District, which are more readily available. Most of these homes range in price from $300,000 to the low $500,000s.
