Near downtown, East Madera offers an urban feel in a residential area

East Madera’s residential streets and Latino-owned businesses are between farmland, government offices and Downtown Madera. The neighborhood has an urban feel, according to local Marisela Ramos, a Realtor with Real Broker since early 2022. “East Madera is populated, developed and a gateway to the Yosemites.” Natural open space is limited to fields in the far east region; however, recreation is accessible at parks in the community.

Walkable streets, Madera Metro and drives from Yosemite to Fresno

State Highway 145 runs through downtown’s center, where it is locally known as “Yosemite Avenue.” The CA-145 connects the area to Yosemite National Park, about 60 miles away. “Close to downtown is walkable, and there’s local transportation if they choose, but that’s more so if going from one side [of Madera] to the other,” Ramos says. Madera Metro is the local bus service that runs along thoroughfares, such as Sunrise Avenue. Golden State Highway travels through the western region of East Madera, tying the area to Fresno, roughly 25 miles away. The Fresno Yosemite International Airport, with its direct flights to cities in Mexico and the United States, is about a 30-mile drive along the Golden State Highway.
