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.

For a casual night out, Hedrick recommends Phoenician Garden, a locally owned Mediterranean bar and restaurant known for its wraps and handcrafted cocktails.
