Rural living near Porterville College
With a view of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and quick access to Lake Success and Porterville College, Porterville Southeast blends rural living with a suburban vibe. “The southeastern part of town hasn’t seen the development that other parts of the city have already experienced,” says Mikayla Chaney of Modern Broker and Porterville native. “Areas around the college can be busy, but the rest of the neighborhood is perfect for people who want to have some peace and quiet.” Much of the area in the neighborhood’s southern end is farmland, and Lake Success, a popular recreational area a couple of miles away, has nearly no commercial or residential buildings.
Ranch-style homes with large lots
Porterville Southeast features mainly front-gabled roofed ranch-style homes. Most homes are clustered in the northern portion of the neighborhood, but there are properties with large acreage surrounded by farmland to the south. Prices range from just under $200,000 to $500,000 for single-family homes. Most homes feature a driveway and attached garages. There are a pair of all-ages mobile home communities with two-bedroom homes beginning at $80,000. Potential residents should be aware that flooding is a factor for homes located along the Tule River, which intersects the neighborhood from east to west.
Cool off at Lake Success
Lake Success is just a couple of miles to the east for plenty of outdoor recreation. This reservoir is a popular spot for boating, fishing and swimming. The Porterville Municipal Golf Course is located just south of East Olive Road and is a favorite spot for local golfers. The nine-hole course also has private lessons, a pro shop and plenty of practice areas. “It’s a really popular and well-maintained course,” says Chaney. Just north is Murray Park, which has a splash pad and a community pool. In addition, there’s a stocked fishing pond, a pair of playgrounds and a nine-hole disc golf course.
Lunch at Jenny Lynn's
For classic American food in a casual setting, Jenny Lynn’s Café is the spot. The restaurant offers table and countertop service and large portions of burgers, salads and more. El Tapatio Restaurant is also in the neighborhood; locals can sit inside or on the patio, depending on the weather. El Tapatio has traditional Mexican fare and beer and margarita specials throughout the week. Many local and national chains are located off Olive Avenue for more dining options. Grocery Outlet, Aldi and Vallarta Supermarkets all have locations within a few blocks of the neighborhood, and retail shopping is just a few minutes away in downtown Porterville.
Granite Hills High earns high marks
Kids in Porterville Southeast head to the Porterville United School District. Students begin at John J. Doyle Elementary before moving on to Pioneer Middle School. Both Doyle Elementary and Pioneer Middle have B-minus ratings on Niche. Granite Hills High School has a B-plus Niche grade and is noted by the service as having a strong athletic department. The Grizzlies have won three Boys Basketball League Titles since 2016, and both the Boy and Girls Soccer teams made the Division 5 Valley Championship in 2022. Graduates can move on to Porterville College, a two-year institution offering associate degrees and certificates. “It’s a great place for lifelong learners and it’s a major employer in the area,” says Chaney. As it stands, 58% of Porterville Southeast residents have a high school degree compared to 89% nationally.
Driving down 99
Residents hop on California State Route 190, which runs on the southern side of the neighborhood, for access to Bakersfield. Fresno is 75 miles north via Highway 99. Porterville Transit buses serve the area with frequent stops in the neighborhood for local travel.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
