Southwest Porterville is growing
Southwest Porterville is experiencing a surge in residents, much like the rest of the city. According to the United States Census Bureau, Porterville's population has increased by 15.6% since 2010 and has nearly doubled in size in the past 20 years. “I think people are coming here because of the prices,” says Janet Uresti, Commissioner of the Porterville Parks and Leisure Department. “Things have become so expensive everywhere else in California, but prices here are still relatively low compared to most of the Valley, and all the development is in the southwest end.” Much of the land making up the neighborhood is farmland, but a large concentration of subdivisions have sprouted up new builds just west of South Main Street.
Brand new homes
Most of the homes in Southwest Porterville are ranch-style Craftsman houses built in the 2020s. These houses are priced between $230,000 and $450,000. Some have Mediterranean-inspired stucco facades, while others are brick. A handful of homes built in the 1920s have recently been remodeled to current standards. Houses are clustered into subdivisions and feature small yards and multicar garages. Homeowners should take note that there is a good chance that flooding of the Tule River will be an issue for homes nearby. While Porterville Municipal Airport is only used for learning, there still may be the issue of noise.
Porterville High passes the test
Kids in the neighborhood attend the Porterville Unified School District, beginning at Vandalia Elementary School, which has a B-minus grade on Niche. Next is Pioneer Middle School, which also has a B-minus overall grade. Niche gives Pioneer Middle School teachers an A grade and the school features a 20-to-1 student-teacher ratio. Porterville High School is one of the oldest in the area, dating back to 1896. The school has a B-plus Niche grade and an Academy of Health Sciences for students who want to have a career in the field. Also nearby is Porterville College, a public community college offering a plethora of degrees.
Freedom Fest and Porterville Fair
“My favorite event is the Freedom Fest,” says Uresti. “Every last Saturday in June, we put on a huge fireworks display, and tons of local vendors come out.” Southwest Porterville is also home to the Porterville Fair, hosted each May. With a history dating back to 1948, the Porterville Fair is the neighborhood’s premiere event, featuring five days of livestock shows, live music and carnival rides. Near the fairgrounds is the Eagle Mountain Casino, where locals can enjoy over 1,700 slot machines and 20 table games. Residents head to the Porterville Sports Complex, which features three playgrounds and a dog park. The complex also serves as home to many youth sporting events, with 11 soccer fields and three football fields. Porterville Municipal Golf Course is a public 9-hole course with special twilight rates later in the evenings. Residents looking for an indoor workout can head to the nearby Planet Fitness.
Eating off Olive Ave.
Most of the dining and shopping is found on the neighborhood’s north end off Olive Avenue. Locals start the day with a quick cup of coffee or a pastry from the Human Bean. Black Bear Diner is a local chain spot with large servings of classic American fare. The mountain-themed eatery serves breakfast around the clock. El Maguey offers Mexican classics and fun iced and frozen cocktails. For more dining and boutique shopping, downtown Porterville is just minutes away. Grocery shoppers hit Smart & Final, a local chain for food for the week ahead.
Hop on HWY 65
Travel is easy as Highway 65 intersects the neighborhood from the north and south, providing access to Visalia. In addition, Porterville TransPORT is an on-demand transit service, much like Uber, in which locals can arrange rides. For travel around the neighborhood and the rest of Porterville, Tulare County Area Transit buses have frequent stops.
