CA overlooked place thats great to raise family 5 rating By Redd Foreman ( Jun 11, 2019) It is unfair to have Clovis with such a good rating and Fresno have such a low one. Because Clovis relies a lot on Fresno for stores and things to do, while many of North Fresno rely in Clovis for their good school district. Fresno tends to get grouped more negatively forgetting ...Read More that if you cut Fresno in half, it would probably have similar statistics as Clovis as a city. Fresno is a big city with mix of social classes. Where as Clovis has become really becoming the city that gets all the positive things without having to be associated with Fresno's negative. With that said, there is a reason Clovis gets really high regards. It's a small to medium size city of 120K population, yet has the accessibility of Fresno's amenities right next door. So the shopping, the higher education colleges like Fresno State and Fresno Pacific is right there. BUT Clovis doesn't have to be associated with Fresno's higher crime (although Fresno right now in 2019 has lower violent crime than SF, Oakland, Sacramento, LA when compared to big cities in CA). Clovis school district is one of the BEST school districts not just in the state of CA but ranked nationally. People in Sacramento area like to rave about Roseville and Rocklin school districts but Clovis Unified ranks higher than those. The diversity in Clovis starts to dwindle being majority white, then followed by Hispanic and Asians, and very little African American. Clovis is a very nice suburb city of Fresno and has a very small town feel. Old Town Clovis is charming and has a lot of events and local businesses. It is very safe here crime wise. There is NO FALL OFF of crime coming from Fresno because Clovis borders the nice part of fresno to begin with. In the winter you can look into the sierras and see the snow capped mountains. Snow play and ski resort is an hour away. National parks and lakes literally on your backyard. This is the perfect place to raise a family. The median price of a home here is $100K+ less than Rosevillle or Rocklin in the Sacramento area which are good comparisons. So a 3000 sq ft home in Clovis that would be $500K will easily be $600-650K+ in Roseville/Rocklin. $150K is not chump change, so Clovis offers a really good value. From San Jose, clovis is about 2.5hrs. Which is similar to going to Roseville or Rocklin. However, Clovis is farther from the other parts of the bay area. If you dont need to be as close to the bay area, Clovis maybe a better option. Read Less

It's Okay-Good for Cost of Living 3 rating By FireFamily ( Nov 23, 2015) I moved here from the coast because my husband got a promotion. The area has a great cost of living for families that are just starting out. Schools are great. I DON'T like this cities food though, franchises everywhere . I dread going out due to the fact that they don't put in t ...Read More he effort or care. This city also doesn't have great shopping unless your willing to go down shaw to Fashion Fair Mall and hope that theres not a criminal near by. The best shopping center is River Park but is located 20min from Clovis. You gotta drive down a street all the way there-No highway. There is a small downtown with nothing to offer. But Hey! If your lucky maybe it'll snow in the winter and you can bring the family on a snow trip an hour away. Good luck in Cali-Pros & Cons everywhere in this expensive state. Read Less
