Highway City offers a westside gateway to Fresno, where everyday convenience meets a proud, close-knit identity rooted along Highway 99. Commutes are straightforward, with Shaw Avenue and Herndon Avenue funneling you to jobs, campuses, and shopping, while weekend destinations are an easy hop north toward Madera County or back into central Fresno.
Local character shines through landmark attractions like the wondrous, hand-dug Forestiere Underground Gardens, a bucket-list stop for architecture and garden lovers. Families appreciate quick outings to Roeding Park and the adjacent Fresno Chaffee Zoo, bringing playgrounds, picnics, and award-winning animal exhibits within a short drive. Daily needs are covered by nearby centers along Shaw and Herndon, and the Marketplace at El Paseo adds big-box convenience and dining without crossing town.
Schools are a strong draw. Depending on your address, students attend the Central Unified School District or Fresno Unified School District, with a range of elementary, middle, and high school options plus career pathways and extracurriculars. Outdoor time is easy to find at neighborhood greenspaces, including the inclusive amenities at Inspiration Park. Throughout the year, community centers and local nonprofits host resource fairs, sports, and seasonal events that make it simple to get involved and feel at home.
