Huron offers a family-oriented lifestyle surrounded by farmland
Huron is a small town of around 6,000 residents in a quiet corner of California’s San Joaquin Valley. “A lot of farmworkers live in Huron, since the town is just surrounded by farmland,” says Adriana Bourdeau, a Realtor with London Properties who has four years of experience in the area. “It definitely caters to a blue-collar population. It’s a quiet atmosphere with a very family-oriented community, and people really want that. When homes do come up for sale, people tend to snap them up, and I think the friendliness of the town is a big reason why.”

Ranch-style homes on residential streets
Ranch-style homes, many built between 1950 and 1970, dominate the residential streets. “There are lots of single-story homes around,” Bourdeau says. “The older ones tend to need some work.” Newly built modern traditional houses with stucco siding and driveways can also be found. Prices for single-family homes range from $250,000 to almost $350,000, depending on renovations, build year and size.

High school students commute to nearby Coalinga
Huron is served by the Coalinga-Huron Unified School District, which earns an overall B-minus grade from Niche. Huron Elementary, on the north side of town, and Huron Middle, on the south side, each receive a C-minus. Coalinga High, nearly 20 miles west, scores a B. Across from the elementary school, Chestnut High is a continuation school that offers alternative pathways for students from grades 9 through 12. It is currently unrated by Niche.
Community parks and the Boys and Girls Club provide space for play
Huron Community Park and Chestnut Park, two side-by-side parks on the north side of town, have basketball courts, a community pool and a baseball diamond. “The parks, especially on Palmer Avenue, are pretty extensive,” Bourdeau says. “The community really does a lot to give their kids opportunities for healthy recreation. They came together and raised a couple million dollars through donations to build a Boys and Girls Club.” The club, which sits on Central Avenue, features a game room, a community garden and a computer lab, among other amenities.
