Convenient shopping in Porterville
Most of Porterville’s major shopping and dining establishments sit within Porterville Northwest, making it one of the city’s most popular places to live. “On the west side, you have easier access to the shopping centers, and the homes are newer,” says Jared Davis of Downtown Realty, a Porterville native still there today. “It’s more popular to live on that side of town, but it all comes down to preference.” This suburban neighborhood in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains has ranch-style architecture, a mobile home community for seniors and easy access to big-box retailers and restaurants near West Henderson Avenue and Highway 65. “Porterville is a small town,” says Gunner Seher of Downtown Realty, who has over half a decade of experience in the city. “We’ve only got one Target, one Walmart, so being close to those is a big deal.”
Ranch-style homes with large yards
Porterville Northwest’s suburban streetscapes have a wide variety of ranch-style homes, including traditional models from the 1970s and modern builds with stucco facades and tile roofs. These homes feature private driveways, attached garages and lots have a median lot size of nearly 8,000 square feet. Prices range from $300,000 to $450,000, with newer builds being on the higher end. Most homes are clustered toward the eastern edge of the neighborhood, and homes to the west have more land, sitting on multiple acres. Within Porterville Northwest is Westwood Village, a mobile home community for residents over 55. Multi-bedroom homes here are about 400 square feet and cost between $125,000 to $130,000.
Target, Walmart and more near Highway 65
Locals can grab a bite to eat at Generals Café & Grill, which serves classic diner fare and has old-time décor like washboards and black and white photos on the walls. Habi Sushi is a sleek, dimly lit spot with black leather chairs that offers dozens of specialty rolls and sake. Residents head to Thai Kitchen for dinner and can grab dessert at Spoons, a popular frozen yogurt shop where customers build their own sundaes. Shopping is convenient and easy, as Target and Walmart have locations in the neighborhood. Grocery shoppers have a choice between Save Mart and Food 4 Less and boutique shopping and dining options are available downtown, which is five minutes away by car.
Pickleball, tennis and volleyball at Zalud Park
Locals head to Veterans Park for fun and exercise. The area has Porterville’s only skatepark and a shaded playground for children. There’s also a 1.66-mile paved trail for walking, running and biking. Pickleball, tennis, and volleyball players hit Zalud Park to play each other. The park also has fitness equipment and a nine-hole disc golf course. Residents can bowl a few frames at the Porterville Lanes and Sports Center off Highway 65.
