Downtown Visalia - Visalia, CA Area Guide

Central Visalia offers residents the convenience of living in a trendy downtown and the satisfaction of renting condos and apartments filling the oak-lined streets. The neighborhood is anchored by well-preserved historic buildings, including the stunning Fox Theatre, built as an old-school movie palace in the 1930s and now presenting both classic movies and live concerts and theatrical performances. Locals head to Oval Park for a pickup game of Frisbee, or they take advantage of Visalia's reputation as one of the best small towns for foodies in the country. Nature lovers can leave the flat terrain of the San Joaquin Valley in minutes, with the beauty of the redwood trees in Sequoia National Park being less than an hour away.
