Residential community with close access to schools, shopping and dining
Tarpey is a mostly residential community in Fresno County, about 4 miles south of Old Town Clovis and 8 miles northeast of Downtown Fresno. “Tarpey's close to Sierra Vista Mall, Shaw and Clovis Avenues, and the schools are close and accessible,” says Sarah Hedrick, a Realtor with Realty Concepts and over 20 years of experience. Fresno Yosemite International Airport and residential streets cover the northern half of the neighborhood, while farmland and warehouses take up the south. The overall CAP Index Crime Score is a low 3 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4, and Hedrick says the major draws for homebuyers here are the bigger lots and nearby Clovis Unified District schools.

Single-family homes known for their lot sizes
Set along sidewalk-lined residential streets, the single-family homes here tend to be 21st-century new traditional or late 20th-century ranch-style homes, some with Mediterranean-inspired stylings like terracotta roofs and white stucco exteriors; attached garages are standard, and lot sizes generally range from 6,000 to 8,000 square feet. “The large lots are what people really love about this area,” says Nicholas Guerrero, a Realtor with Guarantee Real Estate who has over 10 years' experience. Front-yard landscaping varies. "We’re getting to more drought-tolerant," Hedrick says, "but we’re still a grassy area.” Some single-family homes are part of planned subdivisions, like Belterra in central Tarpey, where neighbors share a community pool and pocket parks. A three-bedroom ranch-style home from the late 20th-century costs around $300,000, while a 21st-century new traditional version starts at $450,000; a two-story new traditional can cost up to $800,000. In north Tarpey, manufactured homes in Country Living Mobile Home Park range between $70,000 and $120,000; all homes here have carports, while some homes are pastel-painted and feature modest gardens with white picket fences.

Clovis Unified District Schools receive high marks from Niche
Most Tarpey residents are, Guerrero says, “living in Fresno, but within the Clovis Unified School District." Local kids can start school at Satoshi Hirayama Elementary, which opens in August 2024 and is not yet rated by Niche; it was named after a Clovis Unified teacher who was also a professional baseball player and military veteran. Students can continue to Reyburn Intermediate School, rated A by Niche, and then the A-minus-rated Clovis East High; at the latter, students who join the Clovis Future Farmers of America can choose academic pathways like animal science and agriculture mechanics.
Tarpey Elementary School serves grades K-6 in Clovis.

Local restaurants in Tarpey
For groceries, residents can head to WinCo Foods across the street from Helm Ranch Park; next door, Monkey Dog Coffee offers handcrafted coffee drinks, desserts and brunch fare, like their bacon avocado grilled cheese. Hedrick recommends shopping and dining along Clovis Avenue, where residents can find local businesses and restaurants like family-owned Maw n’ Paw BBQ, an authentic, southern-style restaurant specializing in slow-cooked barbeque made from fourth-generation recipes. In central Tarpey, residents can find several car dealerships, including a Tesla Sales and Service Center, and, near the airport, residents can choose from fast food restaurants like KFC and Taco Bell. Hedrick also recommends the Sierra Vista Mall, about 2 miles north, where folks can enjoy department store shopping, grab a quick bite at the food court and see the latest blockbuster at Sierra Vista Cinemas 16.
