Charm near downtown

North Visalia is a quiet and charming suburb close to downtown with plenty of space. “The city is growing year after year and expanding to the north where there’s room for more new builds,” says Marco Gonzalez-Esparza, Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Tulare County, who has sold over 70 homes in the area. “You’re close to all the major dining, but it feels like a small town, and it’s a great place to call home.” North Dinuba Boulevard cuts down the middle of the neighborhood and provides direct access to downtown, which is about two miles to the south — a drive of, usually, about ten minutes. Neighbors are likely to get to know one another, as well over half the population owns property. Residents tend to be younger, with a median age of 31, and 34% of locals in North Visalia are 18 years of age.

New Craftsman builds

Classic ranch-style, midcentury homes are popular in the southern half of the neighborhood near Oval Park and Downtown Visalia. These houses range from $250,000 to $350,000. Further to the east and north, newly built Craftsman homes are in the $400,000 to $500,000 ballpark. “The price point is great considering how close you are to downtown,” says Gonzalez-Esparza. The neighborhood is made up of subdivisions on quiet residential roads. Houses have yards shaded by large oak trees and attached garages. Large lots allow for private backyard pools. The roads often end in cul-de-sacs, and wide sidewalks make it easy to walk the dog or head down to a neighbor’s house.

Golden West makes the grade

A bunch of schools serve North Visalia, but all are a part of the Visalia Unified School District. Many will attend Riverway Elementary, which has a B-minus grade on Niche. Others attend Four Creeks Elementary or Crowley Elementary, which both have C-plus grades. The majority of kids in the neighborhood attend Valley Oak Middle School, which has a B-minus rating.

Fun at Riverway Sports Park

The Riverway Sports Park, on the far north end of the community, is home to many youth sporting events. The complex has 10 soccer fields, four baseball fields, four softball fields and three playgrounds. The park also features an interactive splash pad and plenty of picnic tables. Fairview Village Park, smaller but more centrally located, has playgrounds and a walking trail. The St. John’s Trail is a four-mile paved course that’s popular with local walkers and joggers. The trail follows the St. John’s River and has scenic views. Also in the neighborhood is the Manuel Hernandez Community Center, which has an indoor basketball court, fitness classes and dance clubs. For those who want to spend an afternoon in the true wilderness, North Visalia is a little less than an hour away from Sequoia National Park. "It's one of the best parks in the country," says Gonzalez-Esparza.

Dining at Figaro's

The Orchard Walk Shopping Center is the go-to spot for retail and dining in North Visalia. The mall is home to Figaro’s Mexican Grill, a casual Mexican joint with outdoor patio seating. A few doors down is Mountain Mike’s Pizza, which has had dine-in and carry-out service since 1978. At the Northside Shopping Center, shoppers can grab groceries from Food 4 Less or grab a scone and latte from Cypress Bakery. South on East Houston Avenue features Krathom Lek Thai Restaurant and Food Maxx. Target’s location on the north end of the neighborhood provides locals with plenty of everyday conveniences. Just a couple of miles south, in downtown, residents can grab a beer at Sequoia Brewing, a glass of wine at Cellar Door or explore one of the dozens of eateries off of Locust and Court Streets.
