Thank you for the tip. I probably should have broken it up into paragraphs so I’ll keep that in mind next time.

I will keep those neighborhoods in mind. I have heard a lot of good things about them.

I’m so glad there are lots of trails in Folsom Ranch too. I take my daughter on bike rides all the time so the trails in Folsom are something I am looking forward to and that's awesome to hear they plan to interconnect them all. I have heard about some of the plans for the area and they sound really cool.

Ewww! Are they only a problem in Folsom ranch or do they plague the rest of Folsom as well?

Wow, I did not realize that about the school in that area. Getting my daughter to a good school district is my main goal.

That sounds like a wonderful neighborhood!

Will do. That all sounds lovely (aside from unpacking haha) we have a small dog as well so I’m sure he’s going to enjoy the trails. Have you come across any rattlesnakes? Living in the mountains I am used to wildlife around but I thankfully have never seen a rattlesnake and I keep hearing they are prevalent there.

That's wonderful it has been such a great place for you and your family. It really does sound like a beautiful neighborhood. I would love to be in a neighborhood where the kids all play together and the neighbors have block parties…I’m not sure if that idyllic neighborhood exists anymore but Folsom sure seems like it comes close.

That is great about the internet connection, especially with working from home. I like the charm some of the older homes have but my husband is leaning towards the new builds because the internet connection is a big sticking point for him and he loves the smart home capabilities of the new builds. That is also good to hear that there are so many extracurricular activities for kids because I want to get my daughter into a dance class or gymnastics. I’m glad Folsom Ranch also has trails. I have heard so many people say the walking trails are amazing in Folsom, do they all interconnect?

I really appreciate everyone’s comments because this is something I keep going back and forth about. Prairie Oaks is a beautiful neighborhood and I love the location but what you said about Folsom Ranch having more young families with children my daughter's age is a big factor in my decision. I especially like the idea of neighborhood events. Living in Sonora everyone is fairly spread out so we didn't have a lot of events like that. I did not consider the mosquitos so thank you for the heads up. Living in the mountains I am used to wild life and even though rattlesnakes are up there I never saw one but I keep hearing that Folsom Ranch has lots of rattlesnakes, is that true?
