West Fresno is facing rapidly growing community development. A West Fresno apartment is right in the heart of these improvements. A variety of local small businesses, shopping centers and restaurants are providing residents access to new employment and business opportunities. The west side is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city and has homes that date back to the 1930s. New construction has brought luxury homes and a golf course to the city.

A West Fresno apartment is near the 99 Freeway, vineyards, wineries and the popular Kearney Boulevard. There are plenty of entertainment options and shopping centers to choose from. There are local corner markets scattered around town, but some of the larger shopping plazas include the River Park Shopping Center, Fashion Fair Mall, Manchester Center or the Sierra Vista Mall. The Fresno Grizzlies, State Bulldogs and Falcons are the popular local sports teams.

The nearby Community Regional Medical Center provides state of the art health care to the town. It has one of the best burn facilities in the entire state. The California State University, Fresno offers higher education to residents and also has local events. Art is also thriving in West Fresno. The Fresno Arts Council holds an annual performance festival in March and the Metropolitan Museum displays traveling exhibitions.

There is plenty of outdoor recreation and open space to enjoy wildlife. The County Blossom Trails is a 67 mile long trail that showcases blossoming plum and peach trees in full bloom. The Forestiere Underground Gardens and the Chaffee Zoo are popular destinations as well. The strong sense of community coupled with this historic town make a West Fresno apartment a desirable place to live.
