Regency at Folsom Ranch at a glance

Regency at Folsom Ranch is a gated, age-qualified 55+ community in Folsom, master-planned across 275 acres with 919 homes set in five distinct collections. The community is built by Toll Brothers, a luxury builder with more than five decades in homebuilding, and the tour notes Toll Brothers' 10-year limited structural warranty on the homes they build. Those are builder claims from the tour, and they are worth confirming with Toll Brothers directly, but they give you a sense of the level the community is built to.

The planning is resort-style. The amenities sit close to the homes, not a drive away, which is the part buyers tell us they notice first when they step out of the car.

What is inside the clubhouse?

The community clubhouse covers about 18,000 square feet. Inside you will find a full fitness center, an indoor lap pool for year-round swimming, a resort-style outdoor pool, a spa, gathering patios, and social spaces, plus on-site food and beverage service. It is the kind of place where a morning swim and an evening event can both happen without leaving the community.

Outdoors, the amenity plan includes seven pickleball courts, bocce courts, walking trails, dog parks, and a full calendar of events. The courts and the trails are the busiest spots on a weekday, and for good reason: they are free and close.

Where is Regency, and what is nearby?

Regency sits in Folsom, California, in the Greater Sacramento region. From the community you are minutes from the Johnny Cash Trail, the American River Parkway trail system, Historic Folsom restaurants and shops, The Palladio, Costco and everyday conveniences, and Folsom Lake for boating, hiking, and rolling-hill views.

Rutsell notes in the tour that a future trail connection will link directly into Historic Folsom, which would make the walk into downtown even easier. That is a plan, not a promise, so ask the builder for the current timeline if it matters to you.

Inside the Redwood Collection

The Redwood Collection is the section the tour spends the most time in, and it is easy to see why. These are single-story, open-concept homes designed to be right-sized for this chapter of life, and many homesites back to open space. The section is reached by a private bridge, which gives it a quieter, more private feel, and it sits convenient to the dog park and walking trails.

Three floor plans are offered: the Cresthaven, the Redding, and the Trinity. They run approximately 1,542 to 1,596 square feet, each with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a 2-car garage, with designer finishes and upgraded materials throughout.

Redwood Collection pricing, as of the tour

As of September 2026, when the tour was recorded, the Redwood Collection was priced from the mid-$600,000s, with homes starting at $659,995. Quick move-in opportunities are sometimes available.

Treat these numbers as a snapshot from the tour. Pricing and availability change, so verify the current price sheet with Toll Brothers before you visit.

New construction or resale: which makes sense?

Gary and Rutsell work with buyers on both sides of this question, and the tour shares the honest version they give the people who sit across the table from them. Some buyers want brand-new construction, the chance to pick finishes and the security of a builder warranty. Others find strong value in a resale home already inside Regency, where the landscaping has matured and where sellers may have more flexibility than builders.

They help buyers compare both honestly by timeline, budget, and goals, rather than pushing one side. If you are torn, that comparison is the conversation worth having before you ever step onto a homesite.

How does buyer representation work at a builder?

Here is the rule that matters more than most buyers realize. If you want Gary and Rutsell to represent you on a new-construction purchase at Regency, they need to be with you on your very first visit to the builder. That is the first-visit rule, and it is easy to miss until it is too late.

In plain English: the builder's sales team represents the builder, and Gary and Rutsell represent you. That relationship has to start with your first conversation at the sales center, so the team needs to be in the room from day one to represent you on that property.

This is their practice, and it is worth stating plainly: they never charge the buyer a fee, and in most cases the builder covers the cost of their representation. For a resale home inside Regency, their fees are typically covered by the seller.

What We Like

  • The Redwood section sits behind its own private bridge, which gives it a quieter, more private feel.
  • Every floor plan is single-story, open-concept, and right-sized, with a 2-car garage and no wasted space.
  • Resort amenities are all on site, from the indoor lap pool to the pickleball courts and walking trails.
  • The location in Folsom puts trails, historic downtown, shopping, and the lake close at hand.

What Buyers Should Know

  • The first-visit rule: to represent you on a new home, Gary and Rutsell need to be with you on your very first visit to the builder.
  • Pricing changes. The numbers here are a September 2026 snapshot, so confirm the current price sheet with Toll Brothers.
  • Community and HOA costs vary, and they should be confirmed against the current CC&Rs and governing documents.
  • Availability changes, and quick move-in opportunities come and go. Ask the builder for the current list.

Before you visit: a short checklist

Take this with you. Each item is a five-minute ask that saves a longer detour later.

  • Confirm the current price sheet with Toll Brothers before you plan around any number.
  • If you would like Gary and Rutsell to represent you, schedule your first visit through them so they can be there from the start.
  • Ask about the specific floor plan and homesite you are interested in, not just the model home.
  • Compare new construction against resale listings already inside Regency.
  • Review the community rules and fees with the current CC&Rs and governing documents.
