California Real Estate | Homes for Sale | Blog

The central valley of California continues to be touted as one of the last affordable areas to live in California. Among the cities located in the central valley is Visalia California. With a population of roughy 111,000 people as of 2007, Visalia is the largest city in Tulare County.

Located just about an hour away from Sequoia National Park, Visalia is known as the gateway to the Sequoias. Lake Success and Lake Kaweah are also within a short drive for those that enjoy water recreation. Biking is also a sport that people travel from all over to enjoy in the Visalia area, including participants in the Sequoia cycling classic that is held annually starting in downtown Exeter; a city just about 15 minutes away.

Median home values are currently in the $225,000 range, down from nearly $300,000 just over one year ago. With interest rates as low as they are, this is a great time to buy Visalia Real Estate.
