Rural living near the Tulare County Fair
Tulare Southwest is a rural community that embraces agricultural roots. Each September, the community at the Tulare County Fair for several days of live music and carnival rides. “It’s one of the best weekends of the year with the nonstop concerts, and it’s always fun to ride the rides,” says Kristy Martinez of Modern Broker, who is a lifelong Tulare resident. “The community comes together, and local farmers get to show off their farm animals. Even kids participate with their school’s livestock programs.” Farmland comprises most of the neighborhood, but its northeast corner is suburban, with mid-20th century starter homes and newly constructed houses in just-built subdivisions.
