Why Live in West Modesto
West Modesto sits between the almond orchards and downtown. It blends suburban living with city conveniences. Available home styles include Spanish-influenced Craftsman and ranch-style houses. Gardens and mature trees, such as white adlers and blossoming almond trees, are standard frontyard fixtures. Local dining options include Palermo Italian Cucina and Michael's Pizza Bar and Grill, a motorcycle-themed pizzeria. For grocery shopping, Maxx Value, Smart & Final and Viva Market are local options. The neighborhood has several green spaces. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has basketball courts, while Mark Twain Park has soccer fields and a playground. Franklin Elementary School, Mark Twain Junior High School and Modesto High School serve students in the area. The Modesto Farmers Market, held downtown twice a week during warmer months, offers fresh, organic produce from the city's farms. West Modesto is well-connected, with access to California Routes 132 and 99, as well as Interstate 580, which provides a direct connection to the Bay Area. The Golden State Highway makes it easy to reach Stockton and the Stockton Metropolitan Airport. The area is car-dependent, but the StanRTA bus system makes stops along main roads.
