Overview of Clovis, CA

old town clovis logoClovis is situated in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley and is one of the most desirable places in which to live in the Central Valley area. With some of the best schools in the state located in Clovis, education is a top priority in Clovis. The downtown area of Clovis, also referred to as “Old Town,” has a distinctly western flair where you will find a number of antique shops, tiny boutiques, and coffee shops.

Clovis real estate has the best of both rural and city living all at an affordable price. Every year, more than 5,000 new residents take advantage of Clovis’ relative low cost of housing.  The median cost of a new three-bedroom, two-bath home in Clovis during the spring of 2008 was $250,000. Custom homes on larger than average home sites range from $400,000 to over $1,000,000.

The continuous population growth, approximately five percent annually, provides the city of Clovis with the unique challenge of maintaining a small-town atmosphere while providing for a growing residential base.

Fortunately, city administrators recognized this difficulty as far back as 1993, when serious attention was paid to addressing this problem: two urban centers were envisioned that would center around the city’s award-winning schools.

The first of these is Loma Vista. Work continues on this 3,300-acre community that surrounds two community centers — a business complex and the Reagan Educational Center.

The heart of the community will be a multi-faceted central park with an amphitheater, fountain and trellis, which will provide beautifully landscaped space for community and cultural events. The surrounding homes and businesses built in the Craftsman-style are connected to each other and the park through a series of paseos (walkways) — a unique way to link the community.

Another planned community has been built on the 400-acre Harlan Ranch in north Clovis. Reflecting the area’s rural history, it is centered around Clovis Unified School District’s fifth educational complex that includes a community recreation center.

Harlan Ranch contains a mixture of housing styles and neighborhoods connected with the business and education centers by walkways. The community welcomes a mix of individuals into the varied, and at times, eclectic design.

For individuals who do not wish or are not ready to own homes, Clovis has a mix of apartments, townhomes and condos available. These homes provide residents with all the advantages of a Clovis address with none of the work associated with home-ownership.
