Multiple schools, convenient amenities and affordability define Parkwood
Parkwood, a small midcentury development on the south side of Madera, has much to recommend beneath the surface. “For some Maderans, Parkwood does not have a positive connotation,” says Realtor Alex Salazar, Team Leader and Associate with RE/Max Gold, who has over 20 years of experience in the area. “However, the nice thing about it is that there are six schools that serve the immediate area. It’s also very convenient. It’s 5 minutes to the freeway, into town, or to the hospital. It’s not far from Fresno, and even though the homes are older, they’re priced well.” This convenience helps to make Parkwood worth a look for prospective Central Valley homebuyers.
Large vineyards and orchards surround the Parkwood area offering a buffer from the busier streets of Madera.

Cottages, ranch-style homes and Modern Traditional builds populate Parkwood
Housing stock in Parkwood reflects the post-war sensibilities of Madera’s working class at the time of construction. “Most homes there were built in the 1950s and 1960s, although construction continued into the early 2000s,” Salazar says. “The style isn’t midcentury modern. What you’ll find mostly are entry-level houses that are generally affordable and have good-sized yards.” Single-story Craftsman cottages are common, as are sprawling stucco-sided ranch-style homes. Two-story Modern Traditional builds can also be found. Homes on the outskirts of the neighborhood often look out onto large swaths of farmland, while those closer to the checkerboard suburban streets tend to have fenced-in yards large enough to accommodate in-ground swimming pools. Prices range from $240,000 to almost $580,000, depending on lot size, number of bedrooms and build year.
Craftsman inspired homes are among the style choices of newly built homes in Parkwood.

Connected to Madera and Fresno by Route 99
California state Route 99 frames the eastern boundary of the neighborhood and serves as the area’s major artery, connecting the community north to the center of Madera and south to Fresno. “Fresno is not far at all,” Salazar says. “In bad traffic it’s only about half an hour, but most of the time you can make it from the hospital exit into the city in about 15 minutes.”
