Farm town living just outside of Modesto
Whether it is the rows of local walnut trees or the festivities of the community’s annual Fruit and Nut Festival, Hughson is defined by agriculture. The city was first founded as a large grain ranch in 1882 and modern residents continue to grow almonds, walnuts and peaches in the fertile Central Valley. This small farm town of less than 10,000 people is out of the way of the bustle of Modesto, while still offering a historic downtown, a celebrated school system and a boom of new houses amongst welcoming neighbors. “Hughson is a small-town community. Everyone knows each other, and we help each other out. You’re involved in everything, and you can trust people,” says Robin Sexton, a broker associate with Keller Williams Property Team and a lifelong Hughson local.
Farming is a major economic activity in the Hughson area.
Hughson has new developments and midcentury finds
Hughson has seen a recent boom of developments such as The Heritage at Parkwood, which is filled with newly built homes with Spanish Revival details like tile roofs and stucco exteriors. In addition to this construction, the community also has some midcentury ranch-style and craftsman homes. Residences of all kinds make up well-organized neighborhoods with neat sidewalks and streets that are lined with flowering bushes and live oak trees. Most 3- or 4-bedroom homes range from $450,000 to $650,000, but Hughson also has several smaller, 2-bedroom properties that cost around or under $300,000. “Houses are priced right, and they don’t sit because they’re wanted so much,” Sexton says. “People who want a small town are looking here, so houses don’t sit on the market longer than 7 days.”
