West Madera combines various lifestyles from urban to suburban
West Madera is a blend of lifestyles, including walkable urban areas, growing suburbs and rural communities, just outside of Madera's city center. Parks and shopping centers nearby make recreation and retail both accessible. “It has a mix of development. Farther west, there’s more agriculture. There’s an industrial area and as far as residential, they have single-family homes, planned unit developments (PUDs), gated communities and homeowners associations,” says local Marisela Ramos, a Realtor at Real Broker, licensed since January 2022.
Many of the older homes in West Madera have lots big enough for a swimming pool.

Local restaurants on Howard Road and shopping centers nearby
The Howard Park Plaza shopping center is home to a Save Mart and a Ramos Furniture. Fast food chains and locally owned restaurants are nearby, including Backstreet Bar & Grill, which serves American fare, and Compa Frank’s, which has a nautical-themed interior dining room and back patio. “Compa Frank’s is like a Latino sushi place,” Ramos says. “They have sushi rolls, but they’re like steak with carne asada, so it’s more of a twist on the traditional sushi.” The Commons at the Madera Fair and Madera Marketplace shopping centers are nearby, and they both have national retailers, ranging from Walmart to Marshalls.
West Madera residents can enjoy fresh Mexican cuisine at Compa Frank's.

Renovated parks, including Lions Town & Country and Courthouse
West Madera is centered around Lions Town & Country Park, which was renovated in 2022. “People can identify where they’re at by the park. The playground gets used, and the walking trails are something the community loves,” Ramos says. “They added exercising machines on the trail, so you can stop and do an arm workout when walking. I’ve seen people have fun there with disc golf, and the baseball fields host youth and adult teams.” On Fridays in the summer, movie nights are hosted at the park’s amphitheater. “They also do a big shebang for Easter, and families camp out to get spots early.” The event occurs on the preceding Saturday, with an egg hunt, craft vendors and games. Nearby, Courthouse Park was updated in 2024 with features, including a nature-themed playground and paved walking path.
