North Visalia
New Craftsman builds
Classic ranch-style, midcentury homes are popular in the southern half of the neighborhood near Oval Park and Downtown Visalia. These houses range from $250,000 to $350,000. Further to the east and north, newly built Craftsman homes are in the $400,000 to $500,000 ballpark. “The price point is great considering how close you are to downtown,” says Gonzalez-Esparza. The neighborhood is made up of subdivisions on quiet residential roads. Houses have yards shaded by large oak trees and attached garages. Large lots allow for private backyard pools. The roads often end in cul-de-sacs, and wide sidewalks make it easy to walk the dog or head down to a neighbor’s house.Golden West makes the grade
A bunch of schools serve North Visalia, but all are a part of the Visalia Unified School District. Many will attend Riverway Elementary, which has a B-minus grade on Niche. Others attend Four Creeks Elementary or Crowley Elementary, which both have C-plus grades. The majority of kids in the neighborhood attend Valley Oak Middle School, which has a B-minus rating. Golden West High School has a B-plus overall ranking and has A-minus grades in student diversity and teacher quality. The Golden West Trailblazers boys’ soccer team has won the district championship many times in the last decade.Fun at Riverway Sports Park
The Riverway Sports Park, on the far north end of the community, is home to many youth sporting events. The complex has 10 soccer fields, four baseball fields, four softball fields and three playgrounds. The park also features an interactive splash pad and plenty of picnic tables. Fairview Village Park, smaller but more centrally located, has playgrounds and a walking trail. The St. John’s Trail is a four-mile paved course that’s popular with local walkers and joggers. The trail follows the St. John’s River and has scenic views. Also in the neighborhood is the Manuel Hernandez Community Center, which has an indoor basketball court, fitness classes and dance clubs. For those who want to spend an afternoon in the true wilderness, North Visalia is a little less than an hour away from Sequoia National Park. "It's one of the best parks in the country," says Gonzalez-Esparza.Dining at Figaro's
The Orchard Walk Shopping Center is the go-to spot for retail and dining in North Visalia. The mall is home to Figaro’s Mexican Grill, a casual Mexican joint with outdoor patio seating. A few doors down is Mountain Mike’s Pizza, which has had dine-in and carry-out service since 1978. At the Northside Shopping Center, shoppers can grab groceries from Food 4 Less or grab a scone and latte from Cypress Bakery. South on East Houston Avenue features Krathom Lek Thai Restaurant and Food Maxx. Target’s location on the north end of the neighborhood provides locals with plenty of everyday conveniences. Just a couple of miles south, in downtown, residents can grab a beer at Sequoia Brewing, a glass of wine at Cellar Door or explore one of the dozens of eateries off of Locust and Court Streets.Quick to Highway 99
North Visalia sits just a few blocks north of Highway 198, which provides quick access to Highway 99. Locals can use these highways to commute to Fresno for work or head on a weekend trip to Los Angeles or the Bay Area. For more local travel, Visalia Transit buses have frequent stops on all the neighborhood’s major streets.
