Lakeside Village Mobile Park

Lakeside Village Mobile Park is a family owned and operated community for people aged 55 and older in Folsom, California, and folks who've lived here a long time will tell you it's been around since 1976 and has always been a place with a slower pace, which some appreciate as they get older. The park's got 181 sites, mostly for multisection mobile homes, and you see about 60% of the homes have lap siding and peaked roofs, giving it a settled, tidy look, with wide paved streets that make walking or driving around a bit easier and off-street parking so visitors don't have to park far away. You'll find vacant sites there too, so new folks can bring in their own homes if they want, and the community manager, Don Witzel, keeps an eye on things so everyone stays comfortable. There's a remodeled clubhouse where people gather for regular group activities or meetings, and a pool where neighbors cool off or visit with friends, and folks like having scheduled social events going on, which helps everyone keep in touch and not feel alone. You'll see a pet policy allowing just one pet under 20 pounds per home and people do like to walk their dogs around the well-maintained grounds which are kept tidy most of the time. Some residents store their RVs or boats in the special storage area, so they've got room for hobbies without cluttering up their space. The place offers WiFi services too, listed as "Other," so some find it handy for keeping up with family or news. Golf courses are just a couple of miles away, and there's water-about four tenths of a mile away-so if getting out and about is part of your lifestyle, it's easy enough from here. The park caters to older adults wanting affordable, low-maintenance living while staying active and connected.
