Cost of living and homes in Hughson
Hughson residents live in Spanish Revivals, Craftsman and ranch-style homes, with prices ranging from the lower $300,000s to the upper $800,000s. Properties outside the city may include custom farmhouses on acres of orchard land. Many homes have stucco exteriors, paved carports and attached garages. The median year of construction is 2001, making these subdivisions slightly newer than those in nearby towns. While the median home value is higher than the nationwide and Modesto values, Hughson prices are significantly lower than the statewide median in California. "It's a small town, but it has high demand and a high homeownership rate, so values tend to remain high overall. There are several new developments, and it is growing a lot," says Angeles Lomeli, Realtor with Lifestyle Realty, who has lived in the area for over 15 years.

What schools are like in the Hughson Unified School District
The Hughson Unified School District does not have magnet programs but does offer in-district and out-of-district open enrollment, with placements determined by capacity and board-approved policy. Fourth- and fifth-grade students attend the highly rated Fox Road Elementary. Hughson High School, also highly rated, offers career pathways in agriculture. One private option is Hughson Christian School, which serves students up to eighth grade. "Compared to other areas, there is more desire in Hughson because of the school system, parent involvement and the small-town feel," Lomeli says.

The community's layout is walkable, centered around a historic downtown along Hughson Avenue. "You have small pop-in shops, but most people go to Ceres or Modesto for Costco and shopping," Lomelli says. There are plenty of locally owned restaurants, markets, parks and attractions to keep you busy:
