Its population is 6,430, so if you like the thought of living in a small town without having to drive too far to the big city, Loomis should suffice. In fact, Loomis only incorporated in 1984 in order to preserve its small town feel and the historic buildings of which the residents are so proud. Whether your goal is to find apartment rentals that are brand new or part of this town's long history, Loomis won't let you down!

Moving to Loomis

If you are thinking of buying a house in Loomis, you should know that the average housing prices here are much lower than California's median sales price. Maybe that's why most people own their property here. But if you are in search of home or apartment rentals in Loomis, you will still get the benefit of affordable prices, since the median rent is on par with the state's average.

So that means you should get started on your search for apartment and home rentals right away. If you want to feel as prepared as possible, be sure to round up the documents most landlords want to see. Namely, you will need a check for your deposit, as well as your last two pay stubs to prove you bring in enough income to pay rent every month.

Loomis Neighborhoods

Loomis features a whopping seven square miles. That sounds like a lot for a place with such a small population, but really there are just two neighborhoods to fill up that space. Check out a few characteristics of each one before you move.

Town Center: This area is on the western end of Loomis, and it happens to be the more affordable of the two neighborhoods. Despite its name as Town Center, it's actually pretty suburban, with mostly detached houses and a few townhomes, mobile homes, and apartment complexes. So you shouldn't have trouble finding two bedroom apartments, a condo for rent, or any other type of home you have in mind. Among the most exciting attractions here is the Loomis Basin Brewing Company. Isn't this enough to get you to pack your stuff and move in today?

Horseshoe Bar Road and Auburn Folsom Road: If you want to live east of Interstate 80, it's going to cost you. But the nice part about moving here and paying a little more is that most of the homes are fairly spacious and were built within the last 40 years or so. Plus, you will be a little closer to Folsom Lake State Recreation Area, Loomis Basin Community Park, and Indian Creek Country Club.
