North Madera, a community near downtown, parks and entertainment
North Madera is an established residential community between undeveloped land and Downtown Madera, about 25 miles from Fresno. “It is more of a country feel, a retreat from the city,” says Marisela Ramos, a Realtor with Real Broker since 2022. “North Madera is ideal for those looking to relocate from the Bay Area. It’s close to major freeways and local businesses.”
