The apricot capital of the world
Patterson is an agricultural city in the Central Valley, deemed the "apricot capital of the world." Fruit tree orchards surround the town, and an annual fiesta celebrates local farms. With a picturesque backdrop of the Diablo Mountains, Patterson draws potential homeowners for its low housing prices and small-town atmosphere about 17 miles from Modesto. "When I moved here, we had walnut trees and apricot trees. Now they’re homes," says Elizabeth Estavillo, a 40-year resident and Secretary at the Westley Chamber of Commerce. "It was very hometown, and it still is, but it’s become more convenient."

Modern developments with local parks and playgrounds
Oak trees and palms line the residential streets of Patterson. Near the city center, houses on gridded streets date back to the early 1900s, with alleyways and on-street parking. In the suburban outskirts, modern homes have walkable developments with community parks and playgrounds. New subdivisions, like the Baldwin Ranch community, are on the west side of town with mountain views near Interstate 5. The city's houses feature Craftsman, New Traditional and Spanish-style architecture, with tile roofs and stucco walls. Some houses have stone accents and arched entryways. The median single-family price is $528,000. Prices are higher than the national median of around $406,000, although Patterson's houses are more affordable than the California average. "People move from the Bay Area to Patterson because of the cost," says John Diaz, Broker at Uhoo Real Estate Services in Modesto with over 20 years of experience. "As fuel prices go down and residents telecommute to work, our high-value properties are becoming much more attractive."

At the beginning of July, the festival's attractions include a parade, fireworks and downtown carnival rides. “Thousands of people come out from all over from the Bay and Sacramento. The Parade is a big hit. It goes on all day, and horses come out and dance,” Estavillo says.
