Prospective renters can find sleek studio apartments in the $1600s, while one‑bedroom units—whether in an apartment building or a detached house—typically sit in the $1700‑$2100 range. Larger families often gravitate toward two‑ and three‑bedroom options, with apartments averaging in the $2500s and houses commonly available in the $2500‑$3000 range. For those needing extra space, four‑plus bedroom homes are priced in the $3400‑$3500 bracket, reflecting the premium of generous floor plans and private yards.
The city’s neighborhoods each bring distinct character to the rental experience.

Residents also enjoy easy commutes to Sacramento via the nearby highway corridors, making Folsom an appealing choice for professionals seeking a blend of suburban comfort and urban convenience.
Folsom’s natural attractions enhance the quality of life for renters. The expansive Folsom Lake and the scenic American River offer year‑round recreation, from boating and fishing to hiking and biking trails. Seasonal events in Historic Folsom, including the popular Railroad Days Festival, add cultural flair to the community. With a strong rental inventory, diverse housing options, and a backdrop of outdoor amenities, Folsom remains a desirable destination for renters across California.
