- Avoid Fresno California at all costs if you're planning on moving here and have not learned enough about the area.
Overall Fresno is a beautiful big small city that offers TONS to do and a very laid back lifestyle. However, there are certain things that could make the town completely undesirable for many.
In this video, we will take a look at the 6 things you need to be able to handle in order to move to our big small city of Fresno California.
Many people will consider these to be major attractions for moving to Fresno California, while others may see them as reasons to stay as far away as they can. Either way, each needs to be carefully considered before deciding to relocate to Fresno CA.
The video may talk about Fresno CA specifically, but it also covers the majority of Fresno County as well. If you're considering moving to Clovis CA or Selma, Sanger, etc. most of the same points apply.
I have tons of people contacting me about moving to Fresno, CA or its surrounding areas and it's great to be able to help all walks of life make the move. Getting relocated is never easy, but with my help, I can make it as pain-free as possible.
If you'd like any help finding a home in these surrounding areas around Fresno, don't hesitate to contact me directly. You can find my information below.
Whether you’re looking to relocate to Fresno from out of the area, already here and looking to move to a different part of town, or just addicted to Fresno and love watching videos about our great big small city, this is the right video for you.
You can also check out my previous videos on the two other areas that I personally consider to be slightly nicer.

I’ll take Fresno over LA or the Bay Area any day. Mountains are less than an hour away, ocean two hours away, freeways that actually work, all the shopping and restaurants that you can stand, houses that are still affordable. It’s a more traditional American city. Lots of churches, but that is ok. Hot summers, yes. But I originally come from the Midwest where the summer humidity is just awful. If you are willing to get out, there is plenty to do around Fresno.
Fresno also has a fantastic nightlife community. There are plenty of bars and clubs; you have ART HOP every month. Furthermore, Fresno has a great dance scene. Fresno has Swing dancing along with many Salsa/Bachata with a smidge of Cumbia and Zouk. I agree being close to everything is excellent. If you like hiking. Go to Pinchusion Peak in Friant. It is a short hike about an hour away from beautiful, but it has an incredible view of the top of the mountain.
@@AlwaysGrowing0 Don't forget hoofing it running from gang gunfire.
-Dave currently in Fresno.
@@1riverranch Depends on where you live. I didn't have many problems. However, I lived in North East Fresno for the most part. In fairness to your point, I think I accidentally saw a drug deal once. I was on an early morning walk around 5 am in the neighborhood behind Fashion Fair Mall. A car pulled up to a house I was walking by. Both the house owner and the driver were watching me with suspicions. Neither of them moved from where they were until I walked down the street past a few more houses.
@@AlwaysGrowing0 I was parked in a far corner of a fast food joint having a late night snack. This was a month ago. Some guy approached me, motioned to a tarped vehicle a few spaces away(obviously someone's home) and asked if I had seen the residents. I said I haven't seen any activity in the past half hour I've been here. He then casually asks where he can buy a gun, he needs one right now.
I don't do late night meals anymore.
Oh, this happened in southeast Fresno below the airport. Not a relatively bad area.
I moved to Fresno on March 2022 for a job appointment. I was hesitant to accept the job after the bad reviews I read about high crimes and the depressed economy. The truth is that I LOVE it. There are very nice safe neighborhoods in NE Fresno and in Clovis. It has a lot of shopping, good health facilities, and nice local food stores. Homes prices are affordable and people are very nice. The summer is very hot, but it's nice the rest of the year. Fresno is OK as long as you have a good job and live in a nice area
Really happy to hear you're loving your move here Amal! There is a lot of beauty to this area, it's just a matter of opening up our eyes and taking it in. Let me know if you ever need any help or recommendations!
I've lived here nearly my whole life and The North and North-East edges are more like Clovis, which is only about 10% and isn't really considered "Fresno".
North of Herndon is the last 5% left. Beyond the 99 it's mostly rural with a lot of new housing developments, except one bad area near the zoo, highway city. The parts that are most weary are the east and Southeast.
Lots of unique spots and cool people but it's wild here.
Most of the crime I'm familiar with is targeted, [you pissed the wrong group of thugs off or they see a vulnerability] before I moved out of the state I lived in the foothills of madera, then I moved to madera Ranchos. In the mountains it's mostly the natives causing trouble and the young adults robbing houses. When I moved to the Ranchos and frequented fresno more often I noticed alot more gang harassment, ppl following me around town, gangs parking infront of my home. Stuff like that. Also alot of teens who are extremely unpredictable and far from being boyscouts. At least now I don't have to deal with that. Glad it's working out for you. It just didn't work out for me
Born and raised in this shit town . Moved away for 25 yrs. Best thing that ever happened. Crime drunk drivers plus the heat 🔥 in. God, the heat 🔥!!!
NE fresno isn't the same, alot of methhead movement around that area and clovis.
I live in NE Fresno and yes, our summers are HOT, but after spending a summer in Manhattan NY, I will never complain about our summers again.
Golly ! You lived in Manhattan, NY ? How far out is that ?
I love the Fresno area! Also I am proud of our agriculture.I like being isolated from the big metropolitan bay and LA cities with more crime and homeless..also being in the central part of the state we’re a short road trip to nor cal,so cal, the mountains,the coast,Vegas, ect.ect.
I live here in Fresno. I respectfully disagree, its absolutely terrible here.
Born here in 1950's, lived in nearby Caruthers and Malaga the first 5 years. Moved to Fresno at age 5. Went to Fresno rural schools. Graduated summa cum laude from Fresno State University. Married here, God willing, will have our 46th anniversary in 3 weeks. Glad I always lived in a place with a diversity of races and cultures. Made life and relationships interesting. We hope and plan to live out our lives here! 👏👍👍♥️
Oh! you are so right.
People always knock Fresno, move away, then move back with MORE people.
As someone born in Fresno I even returned. So anyone not born here - PLEASE LEAVE AND TAKE ALL OF YOUR PEOPLE WITH YOU!!!
Please don't move here to my home town! IT'S HORRIBLE! MOVE AWAY! IT'S SO BAD WE ARE NOW THE 4TH LARGEST CALIFORNIA CITY!!!
Hahaha I love it. Yeah, I find it so strange that people talk shit about it while they live here but for some reason dont leave. For many of the ones who do, somehow they end up right back after a few years (myself included 😂).
yes my dad moved away and then brought me and my brother
Yeah for being the 4th largest city...sure still has a small town feel instead of big city feel like San Jose or Sacramento and the ONLY city of its size with a shithole downtown with NO modern skyline.
So, you want a medal ?
@@SeamusMcGillicuddy0 nah, a cookie would be just fine. Thanks!
I've lived in Fresno for the past 24 years and I absolutely hate it. Paying $1750/month for a tiny 2 bedroom house in the ghetto. Planning on moving to the Midwest immediately.
I pay 650 2 bed 1 bad Appt by Belmont and van ness
@@juannon20 yea you also have to take cover every night when those gun shots go off
@@edg5312 this is fresno not; Oakland, chiraq, Camden, Philadelphia, st Louis, Detroit, San Francisco (fresno premium), Baltimore, Milwaukee, Birmingham Al, Jackson MS.
This!!! Rent is way to expensive. $2000 for a 2 bed 2 bath apt is ridiculous
@@juannon20yeah Fresno is worse than San Fran and Oakland and LA lmao we’ve had years were we beat these cities in crimes lmao
I’m from the Bay Area but moved here in 1999 and bought my first house here! I hate the heat! It’s used to be cheap to by homes but now they are skyrocketing and Traffic is getting worse but I still love the city because it keeps evolving!
What’s to love ? 🤔
I’m glad to see that you didn’t rip Fresno to pieces. All the things you mentioned are true. Especially living north of Shaw. We live off of Friant road by Woodward Park and it’s very nice. Nothing fancy but comfortable. We moved from West Central Fresno and that was also a nice area. If anyone is moving here, be sure to drive around north/northeast/northwest areas and north of Shaw Ave. One thing that you didn’t touch on were the concerts that we here.
YES INDEED FAMILY ** I JUST MOVED BACK TO FRESNO OF LAST OF OF NOVEMBER (2022) ME AND MY MOTHER MOVED TO MADERA BACK IN (1973) AND IN (1975) WE MOVED TO FRESNO CA. SO I LEFT FRESNO IN (1998) AND MOVED TO LOS ANGELES CA. WHERE I WAS BORN. BUT LIVED I PASADENA CA AS A CHILD GROWING UP. SO I FINALLY GOT TIRED OF LIVING IN THE BIG CITY. AND I AM SO HAPPY TO BE BACK IN FRESNO CA. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THE FRESNO CENTRAL VALLEY** 🙌SHALOM 🙌
,5y4yy2
I been here over 12 years and it's not that bad honestly
Thanks for sharing Samantha! I agree, in my experience I've found our city to be a pretty good place
Great content, Mark. You're crushing it!
Everyone from Cali talks crap about the valley, but now they're all moving here. No, move away 🥲 the housing is getting expensive af
I was born here and I'll die here I love Fresno it's just like any other towns they all have their share of good things and bad things pros and cons
I agree ☝️ 💯
This comment is gold 🪙! Every place will have it's positives and negatives. I personally view my "home" country as a bit of a sh*thole and extremely dangerous, but every time I speak to my family that is still there they always remind me that you learn to stay out of the spots that are rough and the rest of it tends to be gorgeous.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts Rudy!
@@IAmMarkBeneke Well said
I echo you , Rudy! 69 years ago at the Old St. Agnes.
@@swissstockli3754 Yeah I remember that hospita when il was a teenager my grandmother had passed away back then when I was like 17 or 18 years old.. If I remember correctly they tore down the old one and built a new 1 the new 1 is the 1 where my dad passed away
Thank you for doing these awesome videos! It's very informative and interesting. Though, would it be possible to reload without all those little audio fx? It's extremely hard to watch for me with all these loud sounds... thank you for your consideration. Stay safe, stay free! Peace
Thanks Mark for these beautiful videos. I will be going to school there and your videos has been very helpful to me
Glad you're finding them helpful! 😊 are you going to be attending Fresno State?
On top of the pollution, however, you get the smoke settling in the Central Valley from the surrounding fires each year. I remember two years ago living there where the ash was falling from the sky for a couple days and the sky was all greyed out from the smoke.
Nice to see you’re doing well! Your video showed as an ad on a video I was watching and was like, “hey! I know him!”
Ashley! Haha that's awesome :) where has life taken you?
@@IAmMarkBeneke Still in Clovis, married, and have a son! What about you?
I love Fresno. I can’t see myself moving anywhere until I’m ready to retire; near the ocean.
I agree with you completely Audrey, it's a lovely city. Is there a specific beach town you'd want to retire by?
I’ve been in Fresno since 93’ not bad I can even say being here that long I haven’t been everywhere yet I still feel new to the area yea the air quality isn’t the best but when rain comes through has the best view of the snow caps
Randomly came across this video. I am born and raised here in Fresno. Good video. Forgot to big up Tower District or Downtown.
It’s a thin line between love and hate whenever I’m in Fresno to visit family, we find things to do the park and zoo are nice but the rude entitlement of the people and the way people drive in Fresno traffic is not it. It’s a gritty city, with some good areas the more north the better
Very true 😄
Yes very very true. Not a great place overall.
I was looking for an old video supercut of movies and shows saying "Fresno" and found your video. Your title made me curious. This is really well done to put the info out there for potential transplants to the area. I feel like you were realistic. There's a lot of good about living here. It's been a rough 4 years. But I'm happier here than I would be elsewhere in CA, not that I could afford it. Interesting video.
It's a blast furnace in the summer!
People can put Fresno down all they want, but I’d rather live here than say San Francisco, Los Angeles, or some other city with all the out-of-control crime. Homelessness is everywhere. Anyway, don’t let the bad deter you from here. The only thing that sucks is the heat.
our homicide rate is very high, i know someone who was gunned down, and someone who ODed
No it wasn’t a good decision, I came with my ex husband and I hate Fresno it smells like wet dog when it rains and it has no character. It’s flat really flat. Also In the summer its so hot here there is no way you can enjoy the outside ever. I miss the Bay Area where I grew up. I’m stuck here I have a job I’m not ready to leave yet ( retired). All of my children have left Fresno vowing never to move back.
I have lived here in Fresno since 1957. There is no doubt that it is very hot from mid-May to late October. However, Fresno also has beautiful springs. The NE area (beyond Herndon Ave) is low crime and very suburban. Both NE Fresno and Clovis are part of a unique educational situation. Though in Fresno, the NE is in the Clovis Unified School District which is one of the most competitive districts (especially high schools) in both academics and athletics in Califorrnia. It consistently produces football, wrestling, water polo, and other state DI champions. Its schools also compete at the highest levels in academics (e.g. National Spelling Bee) and the arts. A selling point for the whole NE Fresno/Clovis area are the quality schools. I might add that Fresno State has one of the best athletic programs in California (e.g. it has "owned" UCLA in football for a decade). It is petitioning to join the PAC12.
Get a life, Dizzle !
But only for those who could afford it. Sad you got to be rich to be safe
A tidbit about Fresno and Madera. They were one county early in the 1900s, a meeting was held in Fresno to vote on a split into separate Counties. As the meeting was being held for a vote the Fire Alarm rang and being a volunteer organization the Fresno-ites went to the alarm, Madera aspirants stayed at the meeting and having a quorum voted to split the Counties. Wonder who pulled that alarm seeing as how it was False.
I moved to Fresno from Maine in 2001.I hated Fresno and Clovis but I loved the Hispanic community. Maine is very secular and I was not used to being in a Bible belt area. It was disheartning meeting gay/trans teens, who had been rejected by their families over religious reasons. Later on seeing Devin Nunes being from the Valley and getting elected repeatedly, tells you a good amount about the area.
It only rains in the Winter. So the pollution gets trapped in the valley by the surrounding mountains the rest of the year. To the point where you can't actually see the mountains through the smog most days. It's a lame fucking city that made me appreciate my home state properly. It made me appreciate living in a place with boring newspapers. Seeing places like Fresno and Bakersfield will quickly leave someone disillusioned if they think living in CA is all sunshine and chasing dreams.
Everyone remembers how everybody has a story about trying cigs or alcohol in their teens to be daring. In Fresno it's the same way, but with meth. They're either clinging to Bibles or a meth pipe in the valley. 20 going on 50 and looking for salvation that isn't in short supply. Not enough humanity to be found between the waste cases.
Maine lobster's, are you kidding me? That alone would make me not complain and stay put.
Fresno is safe. I’ve lived here my whole life. What sucks is the heat and your PG&E bill!! But we have a mild winter and you wont get snowed in.
I used to live in Fresno County from 1993 to 1995
Move to Nashville Tennessee for better opportunities.
I think about moving back west, Las Vegas is the city I want to move and Vegas is very similar to Fresno.
I moved to Fresno from Mt. View CA 20 years ago, I still hope one day I can leave, sadly I never got used to Fresno
Why
Same
How crazy , I lived in MT VIEW CA as a child and again as a young adult ( rebgstorff and middle field also lived in Sunnyvale, but yeah went to Jr high and high school in Fresno , most people in Fresno never even heard of Mountain View , even tho GOOGLE is head quarterd there
I don’t know where Fresno get off charging the rental prices with they do. We aren’t the bay and we sure don’t get the bay wages. 42yrs in Fresno and it isn’t getting better
I do think rents got hiked up way too quickly the last two years, like everywhere else, but especially here. However, it had a lot to do with the fact that we went over a decade with nearly no rent increases. Instead of slowly increasing the heat, we got dropped into boiling water and its been a shock
I live in Fresno I regret moving here I was born and raised in San Diego but it’s more expensive I wish I could move back Fresno has to much gang violence
Sorry to hear you're not liking it here Ria. May I ask what area of Fresno you're living in?
@@IAmMarkBeneke I was living on peach and church but now I’m in a bad area I’m not going to say but it’s just not a nice part of town Clovis may not be as bad but come on the gang’s and crime is high in Fresno because it’s smaller then LA San Diego and the Bay Area and the homelessness is getting worse rent shouldn’t be so high here why would people want to live here and pay so much and have to drive hours away just to see the ocean the lakes here are not that fun anymore and not all the lakes are clean
@@ria7546 Personally, I'd say even the peach and church area is quite rough. I'm not surprised that you're not enjoying it around there and yeah, I wouldn't want to pay high rents to live around that part of town either. Have you considered moving up North more?
@@IAmMarkBeneke I moved to a place in Fresno where I’m much happier I like it here I’m by Fresno state I’m glad I moved to this place
I'm glad to hear it! I live just North of Fresno State as well and love it. It's calm and also affordable. If you ever catch me singing in my car make sure to wave and laugh at me 😂
I just moved to Fresno a year ago, it has changed me! I would love to share my take. I'm from the area already but actually living in Fresno Is so different.
Has my hometown changed ? Sure! We still have a long way to go in the ' Everyone get along Love fests! We are more tolerant now than in the past. However, we aren't diverse in appointing local leaders in our city! We need to do better!
No, we don't . It should be who is best qualified for the job. I don't give a rat's ass if the person is green. That is one of the things that is wrong with the country the diversity bullsh*t. Let's give the job to John Doe , he didn't get past kindergarten but he is the right color. Diversity is another name for racism . Quit watching CNN.
Fresno's is a place you get stuck . Different leaders much better chances. Fresno would need a whole overhaul. Look at the police chief for God knows how many years now he's mayor then we have Sheriff Margaret Memes Judges City council spending tax money like it's theirs. Downtown could be great they've gotten the money a few times but have never fixed it. Homeless is crazy all the empty buildings downtown they could open up and have them go stay there . Or that old satellite building downtown live there do some work instead of paying tax dollars to clean up after them and relocate them and then let them sue Fresno . People's tax dollars always paying for something. I I think they should be accountable for their own actions. I think it's time for Fresno too stand up and hold them responsible for their actions.We have let them get away with it way too long. STAND UP FRESNO 😇
If i ever move back to California, it would be Fresno. My family is still there. I and all my siblings were born in Fresno. I told myself that when i get older and im done with the work life. Ill return home.
Great Video! Some Constructive input, don't film in front of a blank screen all the while talking very low, it gives off like you don't care about your own message- adding images in the background of the area or people you're discussing would be a big improvement
Also small fact check at 4:54 "a couple of days of over 100" is misleading at best lmao
Fresno, Madera, Tulare, and Kings County consistently receive 38-42 days of well over 100.
Great Video!
Truly appreciate the input! I'll definitely take it into consideration for the next meeting my wife and I have about creative direction 😃
Definitely one of my faults, I tend to be overly positive and paint too rosy a picture for most 😂 this man is right, it's more than just two days. Thanks for watching!
I couldn't disagree more. I like the background and the mellow vibe.
Our AC bills are higher but balanced by lower heating bills in winter. We make sure to keep the AC for the house and in the car in good condition.
I was there several times of the years and must say, I lost my voice completely during the pollinator and farming season. As I drove farther away from the valley, I slowly gain my voice back. I would be sick most of the time, I guess, if living there. Though, the valley is very pretty when the fruit trees are blooming.
Dude it depends where you live in Fresno
Im from the Bay Area and I move to Fresno it sucked The allergies are terrible in there hardly any work temporary jobs the whole agency companies to go over The temp agency they only hired you about 2 3 4 months and they replace you it’s hard to get a stable job specially for the company to hire you Permanently Hardly anything to do is way way too hot The rent is so cheap but people are renting rooms I know some studios that are packed with people living there how is that the lack of jobs I move back to the Bay Fresno didn’t work out I know a lot of people that moved to Fresno and move back to the bay I had a chance to meet people that were born from Fresno and they love the Bay Area hardly any overtime in Fresno The food is good that’s for sure and low prices in the grocery stores no Benefits when you work for the agency you get stuck in a loop going around in circles not getting hired The city doesn’t really grow still looks the same after so many years !!!! 🤧🤧 Fresno needs a lot of funding for more jobs if they will put the effort and lots of money on that city it will grow so fast we need Fresno to grow Fresno deserves it specially the residence who live there they deserve more options and better opportunities for jobs and entertainment for them so they could attract some tourist
Sorry to hear that it didn't work out for you here Nicole! You're right, food is great, rent is very affordable, cost of living is very inexpensive, however, air quality can be a hit and miss for some and we don't have the level of entertainment options available to you out in the Bay. We still have quite a bit, but not as much as you guys haha. I'm surprised you couldn't find full-time employment, though! I personally feel as if people quitting out of the blue is more an issue than finding a steady job.
When was it that you lived here?
Agreed with the job part very weird of those agency...they required 6month of working experience now. They got workforce connections in save mart centers for jobs seekers. Fresno got to many warehouse jobs, construction or trucking is the main money source for one can depend on 🙁
I’m a Fresno native. I agree. Fresno just plain sucks. The only people who move there are the homeless and the poor lol. No one really moves to Fresno. People who live there are just stuck there because they are incapable of moving anywhere else. Bad air quality, high crime, high unemployment and poverty. No thanks, I can take a hint 😂. Everyone of my siblings except for one has moved out of there. The only reason I’m proud to say I’m from Fresno is that it gives me a sense of accomplishment lol. Came from the bottom now I’m on the top.
@@russianspy5814 Lol. You must not be paying attention. The last two years has seen a MASSIVE influx of people from large metropolitan areas. They’re all working remotely. Have you not noticed the massive increase in housing/rent prices? Your description is antiquated. Fresno is getting more and more cool stuff all the time.
If you think a place sucks, and you feel stuck there, you’re gonna have a poor experience. I’m not pretending Fresno is anything other than what it is-a mid-size town in ag country with plenty of issues. It certainly isn’t some buzzing metropolitan city. But it can absolutely be a great place to live; it’s been very good to me, and I moved from a really “nice” place.
@@russianspy5814 I disagree with you everyone that moves here is not in poverty. I’m not sure where you’re getting your facts from?
As someone from Modesto who has been to Fresno we have the same problems as you but there’s more to do in Fresno
Like anything else there are going to be people that like and people that hate it. But I think one thing is very clear when dealing with Fresno. Ask anyone in Fresno and they will almost all agree on one thing once you get there it is extremely difficult to get out. So be sure about your decision to move here cause 99% of the time it will be a permanent one.
Love the Underground Garden!
Did they ever build anything on that big ass 40 acre lot near river park? I lived there for 17 years and nothing ever got built.
There was quite a bit of empty space for a while but now nearly all of it has been developed. Tons of new businesses that have expanded River Park
I love Fresno. I moved here in 1985.
Once you've lived in Monterey, Carmel or Pacific Grove nothing is good. I hate it here. Moved here because of my Parents. Thanks for all the information.
Sorry you hate it Margie. I lived in Pacific Grove when I first moved to the states, and while I loved it there, I don't see it as a year round lifestyle for myself. Hope you get a chance to move back one day soon though 😊
Been here 15 + years its very boring just stay away from neighbors with crime only nice place Clovis and people stare at you here a lot only one good mall but to live hear NO run! When the fair arrives in October people get so excited here about the only fun they get once a year I don't go but only things they build here are houses and business restaurants no entertainment ! I should left back to my city when rent was affordable now I'm stuck here very depressing 😢

Hey, thanks for the recommendation! Never tried them before but I'll have to check them out
I love Fresno
I'm right there with you Jesus
Air quality is negligible compared to the bubble of smog that hits your face when you arrive to LA 😅. On the real, Fresno is a hidden gem people are only starting to discover, and as a life long resident, the housing market is already at a historical high... for anyone considering moving to Fresno, it's nothing like LA, SF, SD,... for those that already live here, IYKYK 😉😁.❤
I'm breathing crappy LA smog now. Thinking of moving to Clovis. Thanks for the info.
YOu are so Right,,, great Job
I moved to Fresno in 2012 , from Visalia and I have to say I do like it here, but there is a lot of homeless people in this city, it's horrible.
I work in Visalia and the homeless population is high.
I was born here in 1937 only time I left was for military service. I have been to other places, but having spent a lot of time in SF as a kid and seeing it now you couldn’t pay me to live there, the place is a Dump, Market Street is a far cry from what it used to be. play land, Sutros, Cliff house, Trolly Cars, all gone, even Flieshacker zoo is now SF Zoo. My Sis lived there for years but moved to San Bruno years ago.
I was born and raised here in Fresno I was born in valley medical center hospital that was by the fairgrounds but I don't think it's there anymore as a kid used to go play on the ele,vators in the hospital I was born in I went to other places I always was glad to get back to my hometown Fresno'✌️❤️
We are currently having a heatwave. If u come hyrate, use suntan lotion and stay in the air conditioner. July 23, 2024.
Getting to some Hmong has been one of the most awesome things I have ever done. They are a wonderful, beautiful and dear people. Find one who becomes a friend and they are priceless forever. Their culture is different but beautiful.
Hey Mark, I got an offer in Hanford. I’m from NJ. Hanford is expensive so I was looking in Fresno but heard the flooding is crazy and will get worse through summer. Bad time to move?
Congrats on the job offer! We have gotten some flooding but it's very rare. Maybe 2-3 times a year but not significantly to the point where it's something most of us worry over. If anything I'm more concerned over getting enough water every year 😂 Have you looked into places like Visalia, Tulare, Kingsburg, or Selma? They're a little closer and offer a very affordable cost of living as well
Fresno is more expensive than Hanford
Stay out of Fresno go back to Los Angeles . Thank you
like your video. watching from south east asia.
Dry summer > humid summer
Valley fever, high pollen bad for allergies, most kids have asthma from the bad area. Growing homeless problem.
Fresno California,is a dead end,the light burned out decades ago
Live here now. Not my thing. Been around the central valley for years. Crime and homeless escalating. Smh. FYI. Move out of California. I'm staying here now because my parents. They are getting older. They may need be close by. 🙏🙏💯
Lot of dropouts in Fresno
Talk about how clean and healthy the outdoor air is.

I live in Fresno, CA for 30 years.. (1997)
What I see what it look like from 30 years past to present, big change!
First day I moved to Fresno in 30 years ago what I see is:
Weather:
*cool in full summer (75-85) and real cold in early October, lot of raining, thunderstorms, hails, bad foggy..
Community town:
*The apartments and houses rent are way cheaper.
*North is rich people and south is poor people, lot of homeless and ghetto.
*Less crime..
Present (2022),
Wow, it’s big change:
Weather:
*Very hot during summer time,(105-115) and have been very bad drought.. Coldest weather is late November (not much rain and no foggy).
Community:
*rent or owner houses and rent apartments are very expensive, not cheap anymore! ( likely over 1,000.00 -1,800.00 for one bedroom apt) Not good, lot of people have problem with financial because rent or owner home is high, foods prices are expensive, gas is high prices about $5.99, veterinary is high prices and more.. Terrible! I wanna to move out of California but I have family and my 2 older daughters live here, I’m stuck!
*Very high Tax ( triple tax) Very bad..
*More crimes..
Oh wow. I could handle the heat more than you ever did. I'm already used of Fresno's weather conditions 😄😄😄
I am thinking about moving to Fresno just wanted a safe city for my children. Now I am not sure if I really want to move.
If you're concerned about crime, I'd suggest you check out Clovis. Crime rate is very low and the city is kept up very well. Plus, their school system is top notch. You can also stay on the North side of Fresno, which is identical to Clovis.
@@IAmMarkBeneke thank you for your reply I’ll consider Clovis now
Of course! Let me know if you have any questions about it as you keep doing your research 🙂
Also North is Wonderful, I’ve been in this area for 19 years, the Woodward park area.
Agree 100%. North Grove and the Woodward Park areas are right in line with Clovis.
Although Fresno is very poor Sanger has a good education
You forgot about the much higher than average suicide rates here in Fresno. Need transportation, get and e-bike or e-scooter. People drive like idiots here so be forwarned. Parks are riddled with gangs and drug dealers. Healthcare is horrible in Fresno. Don't get me started on crmc. I call st. Agnus st. Agony. Valley Children's is awesome though.
My God man!! I was born and raised in Fresno for 45 years before I moved out of state. Totally nailed it and is a true video. Yes tats. The Tattoo convention.. a guy did a awesome cover up. YES a cover up. AND I FOUND OUT LATER..he was one of the top coverup artists in THE NATION!! Oh hell I wish I had tipped more. Fresno heat was one main reason why I moved due to health issues. Due to the arid climate you may experience kidney problems because of sweating out all fluids. A Urologist told me Fresno is the kidney stone capital of the world. BUT.. the food is GREAT! Castillos Mexican Restaurant 😍 Dog House Grill, Indian, Armenian, taco trucks etc. are to die for (not really no thats permanent). 80% of my close personal friends are Hispanic decent. Where I moved .. let's just say it's not as friendly. They preach diversity up here but until it comes down to the nitty gritty, and outsider comes in.. just between you and me not true. Traffic moves 100x faster in Fresno and 100x slower here I dont know why, the roads make sense (Until you are where I am you won't get that.) And why TF do people back in??? Crime is attended in the outlying cities except for selective groups, but that's another issue all together. Yes homeless and transients are an issue. And more so here like LA or SF depending on the city. Taxes are way, way, way cheaper here and the state Government is held to what the State Constitution is so one side won't over shadow another. But again another story all together. Fresno was my home and miss it. I will return for my family, friends and food. But health wise was killing me and am happy where I am and it's not killing me.
Born And Raised In Fresno Love It 💙💙💙 I Moved To Georgia In 05 Quickly Got Home Sick And Moved Rite Back After Two Months lol 😂😂😂😂
We always seem to come back 😂 it really is a beautiful area, even if at times we like to rag on it. Georgia has it's beauty too, been there a few times, just don't think I'm convinced it's for me either
@@IAmMarkBeneke Georgia definitely wasn’t for me I have some friends there that moved from Fresno I told them I’ll just have to come back to visit u guy’s lol 😂
The air quality here in the San Joaquin Valley is poor, due to the geographic inversion layer which traps vehicle emissions both locally produced as well as flowing south from the Bay Area. Don’t move here if you have severe asthma issues.
Hi mark¡ I’m planning to move to Fresno , I’m a nurse that do home visits. You think is it safe for health care workers¿
Hey Rolando! It'd be great to have you. People here are typically very respectful of health care workers so I doubt safety would ever be an issue for you. We get a lot of traveling nurses because of the multiple hospitals we have in the area. Would you be based out of a specific hospital?
@@IAmMarkBeneke I’ll be getting an offer today to one of the hospice company there. Can I call or text you, how can I get your number¿
Congrats!
Yeah, absolutely. My direct info should be in the description/bio.
My wife was a nurse for 32 years and I’m a teacher for 31 years. We have never encountered an unsafe situation. That’s just our experiences.
Thanks for sharing! I personally feel that every city has rough spots. If you choose to be by them, you raise your risk of running into problems. Most people learn what spots to avoid. My wife teaches out in Selma. Are you in FUSD?
Why does this guy look and sound, so much like, Joseph Gordon Levitt?
This guy is pure BGK.
There is lots of good here if you have money to spend. There is poor Fresno and there is rich Fresno. The haves and the have nots. There are the mountains and lakes. The driveable ocean. Countless nook and cranny places. Do your research for restaurants, hotels. Explore connected Clovis 4 Rodeo, farmers markets, festivals, etc., Go to Woodward park 4 walking, biking and summer concerts. We have lots of venues. Love our city and the cops handle crime. 😂
I just moved out from Midwest to Fresno.
Property crime is all over Fresno…. If you like your stuff, bolt it down!
Sanger is in Fresno county . It has a Walmart and that is it. It is run by the Mexican mafia in my opinion. There was a Caucasian mayor that made improvements but he had to leave Sanger because they were threating him and his family .
Shout out to the Hmong folks from clovis
I LOVE living in Fresno.. Sure in summer it gets hot but that's why you have a pool to stay cool in..I'm on the Boarder line of Fresno and Clovis...Love my 6 bedroom home..
I’m tired of Fresno I’m trying leave
I grew up here
Thank God we have dry heat, and not the heat and humidity like the majority of the country. I have been to 44 states and the weather in most other places is either to cold, or to humid. Also Fresno is probably the best big city in California. We have problems here because we are in California, but, the crime, and problems are not as bad as other parts of the country. Like every else, our community needs to come together to figure out our needs. We have had great policing here, and mostly good leadership, and that needs to continue. And we must keep the democratic agenda out of our county, otherwise like the rest of the country, we will be doomed too.
What do you mean Fresno is worse than LA and SAN FRan considering the population difference …Fresno crime rate is higher than Oakland and San Fran and has been for years … Fresno has always been the most ghetto town in California …. Stop blaming issues on Politics .. both parties have issues in there cities
I wholeheartedly recommend a thorough psychiatric evaluation for any individual considering
relocating to Freznoland ! Freznoplace, anyone ? It’s not called, Freznowhere, for nothing 🤮.
Hello born & raised in Fresno 93701 ..
Fellow Asian man. You are a Good Role Model.
Fresno is cool, trust. I live there
Fresno is awesome! I’ll take it over San Francisco any day if the year, even when it’s 112 degrees! I lived in San Francisco for 3 years-I witnessed two shootings, one stabbing, thousands of drug deals, heroin and meth and fentanyl used openly! Almost got rubbed on the subway! Oh and over 10,000 homeless druggies! Right now, I am walking with my two dogs at Woodward park, beautiful river trails and have never been robbed, or see as many open drug users in Fresno, when in the worse areas! I love Fresno!!
Just drive on McKinley and Belmont and you’ll see it’s worse than San Francisco lmao
Freeways in Fresno are terrible. FWY 99 is dirty with potholes. Most upper middle class live in Clovis, North Fresno pass Herndon, or Kingsburg or Fowler.
It's Kingsburg NOT kingsbury?
I live in Kingsburg and DON'T like Fresno prefer Visalia my little town is growing just DON'T want people from Fresno moving here and ruining kingsburg with their horrible bad driving habits and crime.
@@bqkmg2037 Yea, I know. It was a Typo.
@@bqkmg2037 right kingsburg and visalia are great when it comes to valley cities but fresno is a complete shithole I originally moved here from San deigo and I gotta tell you glad I explored valley cities prior to buying a home.
CLOVIS IS A RACIST PLACE, IF YOUR NOT WHITE BEWARE, AND THEIR POLICE ARE ALL TYRANTS, SCREW CLOVIS.
As a Fresno native it’s my responsibility to tell you… Do not move there! You’ve been warned. Enter at your own peril. Being a native only made me realize I needed to gtfo of there lol. I live in Miami now. Huge difference lol. Never going back. Nope. They lied! The grass is definitely greener on the other side of this fence. 💯
Hmmm, idk how much I can trust a Russian Spy claiming to be a Fresno native. Sounds like planned internal sabotage to me! Haha 😂 jokes aside, I'm glad you found a spot you prefer. I've never lived in Miami, only visited and I can say it was beautiful and the people were great. I personally love Fresno and feel like my grass is pretty damn green
I came to Fresno from South Korea 7years ago. Wrong moving? 😅
Why fresno
@@FresnoBoy6star well... cheaper than other cities in California
@@prettylydia99 yeah that is true
Been there and thru there many many times as I travel between the Bay area and LA and must say that it's terrible, it's not a city for one, though it's residents like to think that it is, if anything I suppose it's a large town. 2, there is nothing pretty about it, it pretty looks very depressed to me, there is nothing sofisticated about it. I Wouldn't move there even if paid to do so. Maybe part of the issue is that when youre a native of either socal or the greater SF Bay area then Fresno just looks like a small dusty town in the central valley of California. No thanks😏
Thanks for sharing your experience! Sounds like you may not have experienced much of Fresno, though, and been only through the areas close to the 99, which would make sense since you're just traveling through. I'd agree with you completely if all I knew were the parts by there. They're not very nice.
Next time, take the detour and come a little further into the city. Get to know the areas that surround River Park and up further North. I'm curious if you'll still think the same about it.
Why are you whispering?
Hahaha 🤣 I tend to have a softer voice but if I remember correctly, I had to be considerate of my old lady who was working remotely around that time.
NE Herndon/Blackstone is better than NW. It gets pretty crappy west of blackstone for some distance atleast. I lived in the foothills most of my life until I couldn't stand California politics any longer and wanted to breathe in freedom. I liked the police chief (don't know if she is still the chief) when she encouraged the citizens to carry firearms but I lived in madera County so yeah. At least the law enforcement has some grasp and understanding of the oath they swore
What's with the sound effects? The audio balancing is god awful.
