A walkable suburb
Just south of downtown Visalia, Washington, is a neighborhood where proximity is everything. “You’re still within walking distance of all the great shops and restaurants in downtown, but you won’t have to contend with as many of the out-of-town visitors,” says Susan Cardenas, who has sold over 100 homes in the neighborhood with RE/MAX Success. The area is known for its walkability, and that extends beyond the easy access to downtown. “We don’t have transportation, so the majority of kids walk to school,” says Karina Cortes, Administrative Assistant with Washington Elementary. “They then walk to Mt. Whitney for high school, so it’s extremely convenient for families with kids.” The neighborhood is active with residents having a median age of 30.
Washington is located just a few blocks from the stores and restaurants of downtown Visalia.

Bungalow ranchers
Washington is largely comprised of clusters of homes on gridded streets. The dominant housing styles are ranch-style bungalows and well-kept Tudor revival homes. “The area is highly desirable for its craftsmanship,” says Cardenas. Homes have driveways and attached garages shaded by mature pines. Large lots contain spacious backyards, and some homes have private pools. Home values range between $200,000 and $300,000. Wide sidewalks make it easy to walk to a neighbor’s school or to one of the many restaurants just north of the neighborhood. With 84% of the population renting in the area, the market is often scarce.
