Farmersville sits in the heart of [Tulare](/mortgage-loans-and-refinance-in-tulare-ca) County's citrus belt, about 50 minutes southeast of Fresno. Population is 10,393, median household income $52,714. The homeownership rate here is 68%, which tells you people who buy here tend to stay. At $280K median home price, this is one of the most affordable entry points in Central California where a household earning $50-60K can actually qualify for a conventional or FHA loan on a single-family home without stretching to the breaking point.
If you're buying with kids in mind, Farmersville Unified serves the whole town, which means your property taxes go straight to schools your kids will actually attend. Farmersville High anchors the district, with Freedom Elementary and Snowden Elementary serving younger grades, plus Deep Creek Academy as an alternative option. The schools aren't pulling top ratings statewide, but the district is stable and the community is tight-knit. That 68% homeownership rate means most families around you own their homes, which creates neighborhood stability that matters when you're thinking about resale value five or ten years down the road.
Here's the thing about Farmersville: the price range is pretty consistent across town at around $280K, which actually simplifies your home search. Downtown Farmersville gives you the historic district with older homes that have character, walkable access to local shops, and that small-town main street vibe. East Farmersville is more residential, quieter streets, mostly single-family homes on standard lots. Both areas work well for FHA loans since you're typically under $300K, and conventional loans with 5-10% down are common for buyers with decent credit. The lack of price stratification means you're choosing based on what kind of street you want, not what you can afford.
You're 50 minutes from Fresno on a decent day, 82 minutes to Bakersfield if you're heading south. There's no major highway running through town, which is part of why prices stay reasonable compared to places right off Highway 99. Local transit exists for getting around town, but real talk, most people drive. If you work in agriculture or for the school district or county, your commute is local and easy. If you're commuting to Fresno or Visalia for work, you're trading drive time for a mortgage payment that won't eat half your take-home pay.
Farmersville Unified School District is the largest employer, which means steady public sector jobs with benefits. But the real economic backbone here is agriculture, specifically citrus and olive growers who've been here for generations. Tulare County government services provide additional public sector stability. Local retail and service businesses round out the job market, mostly serving the community itself. The job mix is typical for a small Central Valley ag town: you're either in education, farming, government, or local services. Most buyers here work locally or within a 20-minute radius, which is why the lower home prices actually work with the lower median income.
