Secluded residential community on the outskirts of Fresno
Separated from the rest of the city by Highway 99 and set about 8 miles from downtown, West Fresno is on the border of the more rural and agricultural communities surrounding Fresno. Since it’s more removed, the community feels much quieter and less crowded compared to more centrally located neighborhoods. “They just built a city college campus there, so there's a lot of development coming in,” says Joelle Jackson, a local Realtor with SME Real Estate. “But if you cross over the tracks, it feels very segmented.” Commercial spaces are sparse, with a scattering of local eateries, a handful of small food markets, and a range of cultural institutions, including the Sikh Temple Association of Fresno just north of the neighborhood. Locals can visit Roeding Park on the south end, which houses the Fresno Chaffee Zoo and two small amusement parks.
New developments with mountain views are available in West Fresno.

Neatly organized housing developments that range in age
West Fresno offers mostly bungalows and ranch-style homes from the late 20th century, with the oldest homes in the neighborhood lining the eastern edge and the newest homes sitting towards the west. Midcentury two-bedroom bungalows can sell for as little as $300,000, while similar homes with four bedrooms built in the 1990s can go for $400,000. 21st-century New Traditional-style multistory homes with attached gable-roofed garages, stone detailing and vertical siding sell for between $400,000 and $650,000. Newer master-planned communities are being built as the community grows, including the Collections at Westera in the neighborhood’s northwest corner. “There’s a lot of farmland that’s going to be developed,” Jackson says. “The new homes tend to have larger lots.” Many homes have grass-less dry brush front yards, while others feature lush foliage and mature maple trees lined with well-maintained sidewalks and truncated parallel streets.
