Sunshine and suburbia near Fresno State
Hoover is a mostly residential suburb of Fresno, California, best known as the surrounding community of California State University - Fresno (Fresno State). “If you were buying a house in Hoover, you could rent it to college students,” says Sarah Hedrick, a Realtor with Realty Concepts and over 20 years of experience. The neighborhood is also popular with families because Hoover is close to Fresno Unified District schools, and Alejandra Charest, a broker associate with Guarantee Real Estate, says people who live here often stay for a long time. “[Hoover’s] accessible to schools, shopping and restaurants. St. Agnes Hospital is nearby too, so if you’re a nurse, it’s a great place to live,” Hedrick says. The overall CAP Index Crime Score is 6 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4, and nearby houses of worship include the Masjid Fresno Islamic Center, St. Paul Catholic Newman Center and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Palm-peppered residential streets
Along residential streets peppered with palm trees, mid-to-late 20th-century ranch-style homes with attached garages feature a mix of grass lawns and drought-tolerant landscaping. Single-family homes typically range between $350,000 and $450,000, which Hedrick says is starter-home pricing for Fresno. A three-bedroom ranch-style home starts at $350,000, while a four-bedroom version with a pool costs around $450,000. Hedrick says single-family homes here are popular with investors who rent to college students. In southwest Hoover, manufactured homes in Fresno Mobile Home Estates range from $70,000 for a late-century model to $120,000 for a model from the 2020s.
