About the Area: Want to enjoy that California lifestyle without paying high California prices?
Look no further than Visalia! We are a diverse Central California city located near the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountain foothills that’s known for its farm-to-table restaurants, eclectic art scene, an abundance of outdoor activities, good schools and lower overall cost of living compared to the rest of the state (hello, affordable dream home!).
With the beach just hours away and natural wonders like the Sequoia National Forest and Kings Canyon National Parks nearby, you can play in the surf and hit the trails in the same weekend. Looking for fun closer to home? Head to downtown Visalia, where you’ll want to shop unique boutiques, enjoy a local microbrew in the growing microbrewery district, catch a movie or live performance at the historic Fox Theater, find the freshest produce at the Downtown Visalia Certified Farmers Market and spot one of the city’s iconic murals. Need to keep the kids entertained? They’ll love flying down the waterslides at the Visalia Adventure Park or checking out the hands-on activities at the ImagineU Children’s Museum. And when it’s time for a relaxing break, head over to the Valley Strong Ballpark to watch the Visalia Rawhide baseball team swing for the fences with your family—and all your new Visalia friends, of course!
