CA secret place thats great to raise family - 4/2/2019
It is unfair to have Clovis with such a good rating and Fresno have such a low one. Because Clovis relies a lot on Fresno for stores and things to do, while many of North Fresno rely in Clovis for their good school district. Fresno tends to get grouped more negatively forgetting that if you cut Fresno in half, it would probably have similar statistics as Clovis as a city. Fresno is a big city with mix of social classes. Where as Clovis has become really becoming the city that gets all the positive things without having to be associated with Fresno's negative. With that said, there is a reason Clovis gets really high regards. It's a small to medium size city of 120K population, yet has the accessibility of Fresno's amenities right next door. So the shopping, the higher education colleges like Fresno State and Fresno Pacific is right there. BUT Clovis doesn't have to be associated with Fresno's higher crime (although Fresno right now in 2019 has lower violent crime than SF, Oakland,

Beautiful town - 6/6/2014
We have lived in Clovis for seven years, and find the people to be very friendly, the views of the mountains gorgeous, the winters are mild ( no snow! ), and summers are wonderful for swimming, bike riding, taking day trips to the ocean, shopping, etc. Homes have beautiful architecture, lots of windows, and palm trees everywhere! And roses that bloom all year! Love

Climate in Clovis - 10/20/2012
Clovis, and the entire Central Valley of California, is a horrible place to live. There are only two seasons - cool and stinkin' hot. In July, August, and September the temperatures can get into triple digits, sometimes it can get up to 114. Since there is no rain for months, by the time August arrives the air is in the Unhealthy zone on several days. It doesn't start getting cool until late October. Between the hot temperatures, the dust from living in an agricultural community (with little rain) and the air pollution, it is a very uncomfortable and unhealthy place to

Trying to leave as soon as possible - 6/26/2012
My husband and I grew up here in the central Valley and now are looking to move as far away as possible. This is a very boring place to live. There is really nothing to do here but go out to eat, go to the movies and walk down the mall. The gangs and crime have taken over. Please think twice before moving here until things improve. The City government is doing the best with what they have, but it's just not enough. Bye Bye California!! Hopefully

Not a country town anymore. - 12/11/2006
Clovis used to be just a little country town next to Fresno. With the influx of out-of-towners and huge housing developments taking up most of the farmland around town, it's beginning to look like any other sprawling California town. Where there were once dozens of little roadside places selling strawberries fresh from the patch right behind them, now there are only busy intersections with a few vendors with fruit from Mexico. What happened to all our beautiful orchards and farmland? If I see another mini storage place being build, I'm going to scream. In the last 5 years housing prices have become ridiculous. It's still not as crowded as the Bay Area and thankfully the hot summers scare most people away. Need that heat to grow that
