American River Canyon North History

Elliott Homes developed the American River Canyon North community on the western side of the American River in Folsom California. The first villages on the eastern side of American River Canyon North were developed from the late 1980’s through the 1990’s. The remaining western villages were developed from the 1990’s through the late 2000’s. Almost complete, there are a few remaining undeveloped lots in American River Canyon North owned by private parties.

Elliott Homes built and developed the American River Canyon Drive loop, north of Oak Avenue Parkway, including the iconic waterfall entrance into the 11 village development. In 1990, Elliott Homes also built the 116-unit Cascades gated development adjacent to Davie Park on the west side of ARCN. And in 2001 Canyon Falls Village, a gated 132-unit semi-attached housing development, was built on the vacant field north of Oak Ave Pkwy and west of American River Canyon Drive, developing the last vacant land in ARCN, aside from the un-built custom lots.

In 2003 Elliott Homes sold lot 4 in village 8a, the ARCN sales pavilion building directly atop the waterfall, to a private party for development as a private residence, rather than offer the property to the Homeowners Association as hoped. And as of 2006, the iconic waterfall has a new crowning 5,200 sq foot house, valued at over $2 million. As of 2004, 622 of American River Canyon North’s 762 lots were built on, leaving 20% of lots undeveloped, meaning it’s not too late to build your custom dream home in this Northern Folsom Community. As of 2007, the American River Canyon North Homeowners Association has become a non-profit association pursuant to the provisions of Sections 21000-21103 of the California Corporations Code. The association is currently managed by Kocal Management Group.  For more information on ARCN, click here for ARCN's homeowners association website: http://www.arcnha.com/
