Porterville Northeast
Splashing at Lake Success
Just a mile east of the neighborhood is Lake Success, a major recreation destination during the warmer months of the year. “It’s just minutes away and an awesome spot for camping, boating, water sports, and just relaxing,” says Mikayla Chaney, Porterville native and Realtor with Modern Broker. For those who choose to stay local, there are a pair of parks within walking distance of many homes. Murry Park was established in 1908 and is the oldest in Porterville. The 20-acre park features a pair of playgrounds, a community pool and a nine-hole disc golf course. There’s also a nine-hole disc golf course at Zalud Park, as well as lighted pickleball and tennis courts, baseball fields and fitness equipment. For a traditional round of golf, locals head to Porterville Municipal Golf Course, which has twilight rates throughout the week. “It’s a shorter course, but the views are amazing, and it’s very well taken care of,” says Chaney. Each year, Main Street hosts the Porterville Chamber Spring Festival, which has roots dating back to the early 1900s. The festival features a chili cook-off, live music and dancing and over 100 local vendors.Dining on Main
Many of Porterville's best shopping and dining options are found in the neighborhood. Locals can start the day at The Mud House for a cup of coffee or grab some breakfast from Yum Yum Donuts. Residents hit the popular Vault Bar & Grill to try a flight and sample a few of the dozens of beers on tap. The restaurant also features classic American fare like burgers and sandwiches. Mariscos El-30 is a Mexican spot with plenty of seafood specials on the menu. Giovanni’s Pizzeria is a great place to grab a slice, and the restaurant’s large arcade is a popular spot for parties. Retail shoppers can find plenty of boutiques lining Main Street, and grocery shopping is easy with a Grocery Outlet nearby.Homes on large lots
Houses in Porterville Northeast are largely ranch-style and tri-level builds. Prices range from $240,000 to $480,000 for newly renovated houses. As is the case in most established neighborhoods, the lots are larger than they would be in newer developments. Many homes feature driveways and sizeable yards for entertaining guests, and a few have backyard pools. Houses that sit along Main Street will have to deal with some noise throughout the day, but life is quieter farther east. This has been a popular neighborhood with investors, as over 50% of the residents rent.Granite Hills High scores well
The Porterville Unified School District serves all kids in the city. Those in Porterville Northeast head to Los Robles Elementary, which has a B-minus grade on Niche. Next is Bartlett Middle School, which Niche gives a C-plus ranking. Bartlett features a 16-1 student-teacher ratio. Teens go to Granite Hills High School, which opened in 1999. Niche gives Granite Hills a B-plus overall ranking and notes its strong teachers. The school has an Academy for Law, Justice and Ethics, where students can explore career opportunities in those fields after graduation.Riding Portersville Transit
Porterville Transit buses provide public transportation throughout the city via a fleet of vehicles that operates out of a centrally located transit center downtown and has stops in the neighborhood. State Route 65 connects directly to Bakersfield 50 miles south. Visalia Municipal Airport is 36 miles away, while Fresno Yosemite International Airport is 75 miles from town.
