Rich soil and manicured lawns define Holtville
Holtville is a little town surrounded by the farmland of California’s Imperial Valley. It is relatively isolated, connected to its nearest neighbors by two-lane country highways. “It’s a real small town – maybe like 7,000 people,” says Realtor Joseph McCormack with Real Estate One of Imperial Valley, who has over 33 years of experience in the area. “It’s real clean cut, almost like Mayberry or something even better. You drive down the street, and everybody’s lawn is manicured and looks almost perfect. It’s an agricultural town, and what sets it apart is that the soil is just better than the surrounding area. It produces bigger trees, better crops. That’s the big thing about Holtville – the grass really is greener there.”

Even the old homes, though, have been well-kept.” Prices for single-family homes range from $122,000 to $520,000, based on build year, number of bedrooms and square footage.
