Mid-century homes
Most of the houses in South Visalia were built in the mid-20th century and some date back to the 1930s. “The older homes are especially charming, and the lots are larger than you might think,” says Susan Cardenas with RE/MAX Success, who has nearly a decade of experience in the region. Housing styles range from traditional ranchers in the $250,000-$400,000 range to bungalows and modern Craftsman houses in the $450,000-$700,000 ballpark.
