Folsom Honors Centenarian WWII Internment Camp Survivor

Shigeru Ochi, a WWII veteran and internment camp survivor, will be celebrated by the Folsom community as he turns 100.

“I’ve lived through history and made a bit of my own," he said recently reflecting on a century of life.

After enduring captivity in Manzanar Internment Camp due to his Japanese ancestry, Shiguru joined the army and was deployed to a post-atomic bomb Hiroshima.

Brilliant as well as brave, after leaving the army he scored a perfect GRE, enrolled, and graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

His life of resilience and contribution to Folsom will be honored at an event hosted by Oakmont Senior Living on Monday, February 26.

🏘️ How to pick the perfect neighborhood

Choosing the right neighborhood matters almost as much as choosing the right house. Here's how to make an informed decision:

  • Convenience Matters: Evaluate the proximity to daily necessities like grocery stores and pharmacies. A neighborhood that simplifies your errands can significantly improve your daily routine.

  • School District Quality: Homes in reputable school districts often maintain or increase in value. Research local schools' performance as it can affect both your children's education and your home's resale value.

  • Access to Nature and Recreation: Proximity to parks, trails, and recreational facilities promotes a healthy lifestyle. Choose a neighborhood that supports your outdoor activities and hobbies.

  • Commute and Transportation: Consider the commute time to work and access to public transportation. A neighborhood with efficient transit options can save you time and reduce stress.

  • Community and Vibe: Look for signs of a vibrant community, such as well-maintained homes and local events. If you read this newsletter, you know Folsom has plenty! A strong sense of community can greatly enhance your living experience.

Every neighborhood has its own distinct character. If you imagine what it would feel like to live, run through this checklist, and talk to a local realtor who knows the area, you are sure to make an excellent decision.
