Driving around Northwest Visalia, it’s clear the common thread in the neighborhood is newness. “It’s a desired neighborhood because it’s the side of town with newer, larger homes, and a lot of people value new builds,” says Brooke Buhl, Realtor with Houstir Inc., who has a decade of experience in the Visalia area. “The development isn’t just housing, but this area will also have all the new shops, restaurants and schools down the line.” As Visalia grows, the northeastern quarter has plenty of undeveloped land, which has become home to large residential areas. Most homes in the area were built in the 2000s, and more houses are going up as the neighborhood continues to expand to the northwest.
Northwest Visalia has several gated communities including one with a man-made lake.

Catch a Visalia Rawhide game
With nearly a dozen parks in Northwest Visalia, there’s seemingly green space at every turn. Lion’s Park is one of the largest parks in the neighborhood, featuring a walking trail, basketball courts and playground equipment. Woodland Park offers similar amenities but also has community grills, picnic tables and a baseball diamond. For more baseball, residents can catch a game at Valley Strong Ballpark, home of the Visalia Rawhide Baseball Club since 1946. The Single A-affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks is one of the longest-running Minor League Baseball teams on the West Coast. “Friday nights in the summer, they have fireworks after the game, so a lot of people bring their kids to those games,” says Buhl. The Visalia Country Club is home to a par 72 championship golf course with a full driving range and a pair of putting green practice areas. The CrossFit on West Goshen Avenue provides a spot for a challenging indoor workout.

Kids attend the Visalia Unified Public School District. The majority of students either attend Manuel F. Hernandez Elementary School, which holds a B-plus Niche rating, or the A-minus rated Hurley Elementary School, which was named the third-best elementary school in Tulare County. Many kids then attend Ridgeview Middle, which has a B-plus Niche rating, before Redwood High School, which holds an A grade.
