Fun at the Tulare County Fair
The Tulare County Fair, hosted just a few blocks east of the neighborhood, is five days full of live music, stock car races and parades. “When I was younger, I waited all year for the Demolition Derby on Sunday nights and the jumbo corn dogs,” says Martinez. “We still go every year, and it’s still so much fun.” Year round, residents visit Mulcahy Park, a 3.5-acre park within walking distance to some housing, to cool off in the splash park, softball or have a relaxing walk on the paved paths. There’s also playground equipment for children. The Tulare Cycle Park in the pastoral part of the neighborhood features a variety of off-road and motocross tracks for thrill seekers. Residents can rent bikes, and there is even a mini track for children. Just north of the neighborhood is the Tulare Historical Museum. The museum opened in 1985 and strives to preserve Tulare's history while featuring rotating art exhibits, like photography exhibits and exhibits celebrating Hispanic heritage.Tulare Union earns high grades
Kids attend the Tulare City School District, beginning at Roosevelt Elementary, which holds a C-minus rating on Niche. Next up is Mulcahy Middle School, which also has a C-minus Niche grade. Teens move to Tulare Union High School, which has a B-plus Niche rating. The school is known for its Arts, Media, and Entertainment Academy, where students can participate in internships and mentorship programs with industry professionals to equip them with the skills to succeed in educational and professional pursuits. The school also offers an extensive arts program, with classes such as Wood Sculpture, Three-Dimensional Art and Orchestra.A mix of newer and older homes
Homes in Tulare Southwest are clustered into the northeast quadrant of the neighborhood, as the rest is farmland. The streets in the northeast are largely residential, gridded roads lined by homes. Most houses are cross-gabled ranch-style builds that cost between $270,000 and $390,000.Post-war builds from the 1950s dominate the streetscapes, but further to the west, subdivisions with new construction are springing up. It is common for homes in the area to have driveways and attached garages. Lots are large in Tulare Southwest, and yards are big enough for entertaining.Hopping on 99
Locals can hop on Tulare County Regional Transit buses with several stops in the Tulare Southwest area. Route 137 runs adjacent to Tulare Southwest’s residential corridors, and connect to Highway 99, the city’s main thoroughfare. Highway 99 can quickly take drivers out of town to places like Visalia, which is about 16 miles away.Dining at Vejar's Mexican Restaurant
Most of Tulare Southwest is residential streets or farmland, so shopping and dining options are slim. However, nothing is ever too far away in Tulare. Just a few blocks from the neighborhood, Vejar’s Mexican Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge, has an outdoor patio where people can sip happy hour margaritas. Also within a five-minute drive is Salles Café, which has a variety of diner classics, like burgers and milkshakes. The Grocery Outlet, located about two miles from the neighborhood, provides essentials, and residents are about a 10-minute drive from the Tulare Outlets.
