City - Merced

Situated in California's San Joaquin Valley, Merced combines agricultural heritage with educational opportunities. Located less than two hours from Yosemite National Park, the city serves as a convenient gateway to this natural wonder. The University of California, Merced campus - the first research university built in the U.S. in the 21st century - contributes to the local community. Rental options span throughout the city's 23 square miles, with current average rents ranging from $744 for studios to $1,638 for three-bedroom homes, showing moderate year-over-year increases between 1.1% and 3.2%.

Downtown Merced centers around the restored Art Deco Merced Theatre and Bob Hart Square. Lake Yosemite offers opportunities for swimming, fishing, and boating, while the Merced County Courthouse Museum preserves local history. The area maintains its agricultural significance as California's sixth-largest producing county.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
