Family-oriented suburb in central Yuma
Set in central Yuma, suburban Rancho Serreno offers late 20th-century homes within two miles of local schools, shopping and dining, and a mile from Route 95. Diana Arvizu, a local Realtor with Realty Executives Yuma and over 5 years of experience, says the neighborhood is popular for its central location and large lots, which are roughly a quarter-acre. During the hot Yuma summers, Rancho Serreno residents cool down in their own pools or at the Valley Aquatic Center's public one, a mile northwest. Local kids are often seen out together playing ball or riding their bikes, and area houses of worship include The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Route 95 runs through Rancho Serreno providing easy access to freeways.

Late 20th-century homes with palm trees and large lots
Rancho Serreno residential streets are sidewalk-lined and laid out on a grid, dotted with succulents and the occasional palm tree. Arvizu says the late 20th-century homes here — either ranch- or Spanish Revival-style — are typically older than those in neighboring communities, like Picacho Village. “Their age brings prices here a tad bit lower," Arvizu says. "Some homes are remodeled, some are not." All have three or four bedrooms, and concrete driveways that lead to attached multi-car garages. Lots range from 8,000 to 10,000 square feet, landscaped with either a grassy lawn or low-water plantings; some yards feature private pools or covered patios. Prices range from $250,000 to $550,000, depending on a home’s size and features.

Spending a day at West Wetlands Park
There are no parks in Rancho Serreno, but a mile northeast, Valley Aquatic Center is the neighborhood go-to for a swim in the public pool and fun on the water slide. Yuma’s largest park, the 110-acre West Wetlands Park, is about 4 miles northeast of the neighborhood, alongside the Colorado River. Arvizu says it’s common to see folks at the park swimming, walking trails and taking their kids to the playground or for a birthday cookout. The castle-themed Stewart Vincent Wolfe Creative Playground here was built about 10 years ago with the help of community volunteers and includes an accessible zipline, climbing structure and comfort swing. There’s also a fishing pond where locals cast their lines for catfish, trout and sunfish. Cycling’s popular here as well, and there’s 2-mile paved path cyclists can follow from West Wetlands Park to Gateway Park in downtown Yuma.
