Growing Downtown with dining options
Downtown Visalia is an action-packed and growing neighborhood, where everything is just a few blocks off Main Street. “Visalia has been ranked as one of the happiest cities in the country,” says Susan Cardenas with RE/MAX Success, who has nearly a decade of experience in Visalia. “We’re welcoming so many new people and new businesses, so the growth is just going to continue to flow out from Downtown.” Visalia’s growth has been seen nowhere clearer than in its now vibrant Downtown district. Main Street and the surrounding areas have been infused with a bounty of spots to eat, drink and shop. Within a few blocks, residents can check out a children’s museum, a Minor League Baseball game or see a concert.

Ranch-style homes
Most of the homes in Downtown Visalia are ranch-style builds from the early 20th century with brick or stucco exteriors. Prices range from just under $200,000 to $350,000. Many older homes are on large lots with space for a private pool in the backyard. Mature oak and palm trees shade the sidewalks, which make it easy to walk to local attractions. Residents may have to park on the street, as not every home has attached garages. Neighbors may come and go, as over 70% of the population rents. Despite the high rental rates, there are few apartment buildings in the neighborhood and most rent houses.
