- Hey there to my fellow millennials.
How are you guys?
I wrote this blog for you.
I'm a millennial, we are gonna be
the biggest demographic of home buyers this year in 2019.
We took a minute, but we're jumping
into the real estate market,
and it's our turn to build wealth in real estate.
So here your guys go.
I know what we like.
We like it easy, we like it simple, right?
These are the top 10 neighborhoods
that most millennials are buying in in the Fresno area.
Check it out, let me know what you think.
Okay, I'm back, it's Kaitlin Peck
with Peck Real Estate Group,
your fellow millennial and a realtor here in Fresno.
I've been a realtor for six years now,
have a pretty successful career.
I'm a homegrown girl, so my experience
working with many millennial home buyers,
I actually have these pretty active social media accounts,
and I actually ran some pretty extensive polls
to millennials about their neighborhoods
they're most interested in buying a home in too,
just so it wasn't just on my opinion,
and also, I went off the key factors
that millennials consider when choosing a neighborhood.
Now, what are we considering as a generation?
We're considering different things than other generations.
We want affordability, we are not gonna be house poor.
We're being very smart about it,
because we watched the 2007 real estate collapse,
we saw what our parents went through,
and we're scared, we know that's
never gonna happen again,
because there's regulations in place,
and that was kinda crazy,
but that's not gonna happen again,
you're doing the right thing purchasing a home,
it's a very smart thing to do,
and now's the time to start
building your wealth in real estate.
We are gonna dominate the 2018 real estate market.
We're gonna do so smartly,
we're not gonna, we make get pre-approved
for a certain amount of loan,
but many millennials, I'm watching them say,
uh, I just don't wanna spend that much,
because, you know, I still like to travel,
or I just wanna make sure that
I have a year's worth of expenses in the bank.
So smart, I love it.
Walkability, we're active, we like to be active.
We like a sense of community,
we like neighborhoods that have a sense of community
that kinda brings people together.
Diversity, we like diversity.
Location's important, is it close to the schools
or work or whatever is going on in our life
that we go to all the time?
Nightlife, we like a nightlife.
I like a nightlife, nightlife's great.
And good restaurants,
and so, we consider different things than other generations,
but I have something for all of us,
because we are all going through
different phases of our lives, I should say.
So, there's family friendly neighborhoods.
There's neighborhoods for the people
looking for the energy efficient brand new homes.
There's neighborhoods for the people
looking for, like, a cultural arts district,
a lot going on, festivals,
and custom old homes that they can
really have a great time and live their life to the fullest.
All kinds of neighborhoods,
and I'm gonna explain why I picked each
and why you guys picked each,
because this is really kind of
the people's choice awards, along with my input
of the top 10 neighborhoods for millennial home buyers
in the Fresno area, let's go.
I can't really even pretend that my background
isn't awkward today, my house has crazy lighting,
it doesn't have the best overhead lightings,
and then it's a dark day,
and I'm working from home today,
so usually I film in my office.
I'm trying everything, as you saw, I brought in
this light here, there's a light back there,
but it gave a weird glare, so let's just
rock it out, let's rock out the top 10 neighborhoods.
Number one on the list for millennial home buyers
is a neighborhood called the Tower District.
The Tower District is really an amazing, amazing area,
I think it's like a little beach town.
It's so unique, it's got a big arts scene,
a big live music scene, a great local foodie scene.
The people that live there have a major sense of community,
the homes are very very affordable,
they're cute little charming homes.
Some are big multi-family homes
that you can invest in,
there's lot of opportunity in the Tower District,
and what I'm seeing there,
my sister just moved there and I've been
spending more time there recently,
I'm seeing a lot more, there's some
great new restaurants and bars opening,
and a lot more money being invested in Tower District,
and I really think that your money
is well spent in Tower District.
Excuse me, Tower District.
So, Tower District is for the millennial
looking for that nightlife, fun, diversity.
Yeah, it's a great neighborhood.
Number two is Fig Garden.
Fig Garden is centrally located.
You can get custom homes on bigger lots,
and there are older homes with mature landscaping,
and usually pretty charming too,
or a lot of cool mid-century moderns
available in Fig Garden.
And they just have great restaurants
and shopping and conveniences next door.
You're next to all freeways, and like I said,
it's a very affordable neighborhood
and it's a great option.
Number three is Copper River Ranch.
Now Copper River Ranch is for
more of your high-end millennial home buyer
that is looking for a new construction
to newer construction home,
in a master planned beautiful community
centered around a great golf course,
and tennis court facility, big pool.
There's a gym there.
There's lots of local parks.
There's eight miles of walking trails around it.
It's really close to Woodward Park.
It's the active lifestyle community.
It's safe, it's just a great community
with the top schools.
Clovis North, feeds into Clovis North,
and so, it's a very family friendly neighborhood
that a lot of millennials choose.
It's very safe, a lot of millennials
that may be buying a home on their own
choose that area as well.
Copper River Ranch is a great neighborhood.
Number four, close tomy heart, Woodward Lake.
Woodward Lake, I grew up in Woodward Lake.
Woodward Lake is very close to Copper River Ranch.
It enjoys the convenience and location
of being very close to Woodward Park and San Joaquin River
and many many walking trails.
Actually, the Woodward Lake itself
is centered around a lake,
and it is a two and a half mile walk around
that there is a major sense of community
in Woodward Lake that people
walk around the lake all the time,
that's their exercise.
There's a clubhouse at Woodward Lake that has a big pool.
There's paddle boats.
I grew up going out on the paddle boats.
Fishing, and there's basketball courts, tennis courts.
Feeds into Clovis Unified School District.
Woodward Lake is custom homes
that were built in the nineties,
and they're great buys actually.
Woodward Lake was a wonderful, wonderful neighborhood
to grow up in and I encourage
many people to buy homes there
that are raising families.
I encourage many people that want to
do a remodel and gain some equity to buy there.
It's a great neighborhood.
You're close to the top restaurants in town,
and you're buying at an incredible price.
Number five, Loma Vista.
Loma Vista is a master planned community that feeds into,
master planned communities are
thousands or hundreds of homes
that are being built by different home builders
and they're new construction,
and they're energy efficient,
and they have things like walking trails
and community centers that they're built around,
and they're really cool, they're really really neat.
This one feeds into Clovis Unified School District,
so the type of millennials
that I'm helping move to Loma Vista,
and this is so, so, so common,
these millennials are looking to
get their children into Clovis Unified School District,
and a new energy efficient home, a really nice home,
for an incredible price.
You can buy new construction that feeds into
Loma Vista and Clovis Unified School District
for incredible pricing, so these families
are enjoying the luxuries of a brand new home,
and, you know, with good insulation,
and not high utility bills, like my house, no.
But they're getting their kids into Clovis Unified,
they're getting the most bang for their buck.
Loma Vista, bang for your buck.
Okay, Harland Ranch is number six.
Harland Ranch is like Loma Vista.
It's almost, yeah, it feeds into
Clovis Unified, it feeds into Clovis North,
and the prices there are typically a little higher,
there's luxury to actually, you know,
you could get into Harland Ranch for 200000
all the way up to 9000000, I believe,
and it's a great community, also master planned
with the central, you know, pools and clubhouses
and all of that good stuff.
And newer construction with great homes
that are energy efficient.
I wouldn't say they're as affordable as Loma Vista,
but they feed into the most desirable schools
right now for parents, so Harland Ranch.
I hope a lot of people move to Harland Ranch,
all of these communities, I mean,
these are the most popular communities.
I'm sorry, it keeps fading.
Number seven is Old Town Clovis.
Now, Old Town Clovis is a very very very
affordable area to move or buy.
Those homes are older, cute, charming homes,
I mean, you're gonna be paying
2000000, 3000000, sometimes 175 or so,
and you're gonna be right next to
all the action that Old Town Clovis has to offer,
the fun festivals like the Old Town Flea Market,
the Clovis Rodeo, Big Hat Day, so much fun stuff.
The quaint little coffee shops,
the local artisan food restaurants,
just a great area, nightlife.
Old Town Clovis is great, also Clovis Unified
for an incredible price.
Number eight is the Fresno High area.
Very similar to Tower District, beautiful architecture.
It's some of my favorite architecture in town, honestly.
I just think it is so charming,
I love to drive around Fresno High area,
and just the beautiful, lush, mature landscaping,
and the homes that really have character.
You can tell that the homeowners
just love their neighborhood,
and on this blog post, I actually got
a homeowner to write what she loves so much
from her own words, and I thought
it was so special to describe the community for you,
so make sure you read the Fresno High description.
I didn't write it, someone else did.
And they have Gazebo Gardens,
and they're really close to Tower District,
so they get to enjoy all the fun nightlife
and restaurants and all that goes on in Tower District.
So, Fresno High.
Number nine is Buchanan High area.
Buchanan High area, I see so many,
so many parents.
This is kind of the, you've had your starter home,
and you're gonna move up to your second home,
and these are the family oriented,
looking for family oriented neighborhood home buyers,
usually, and they really wanna
get their kids into the Buchanan schools,
and they're just really safe, good neighborhoods
with well built homes,
and, you know, great amenities nearby,
low crime rate, so, Buchanan High area is booming.
Number 10 is not actually in Fresno or Clovis,
it's right on the outskirts of Fresno,
in Madera Ranchos area, it's the Riverstone community.
It's a brand new master planned community
that so many millennials are buying in,
it's so interesting to see.
If you take highway 41 south,
past, you know, the exit you would take,
north, I'm so sorry, you take it north,
do not take it south, take highway 41 north
past the River Park exit, the Frant exit,
and keep on going, and Riverstone community
is over there, they're building
brand new, great schools for the community.
Many families are moving out there,
first time home buyers are moving out there.
They're getting great, brand new construction homes
by all the different home builders in town.
They can choose from a couple different home builders,
and it's just, energy efficient homes,
and there's gonna be a lot of fun stuff
that goes on there, because it's
close to the San Joaquin River,
so you're gonna have access to the river,
actually, in the community across from that,
but Riverstone, I have a few friends
that are living out there,
and they have a really big clubhouse in Riverstone.
They have, like, wine nights and cheese nights,
and it's a real sense of community out there,
and like I said, they're building
really great schools that parents
are really excited about,
you're seriously 10 minutes away from River Park,
so you're not far away at all
to all the shopping and anything you could ever need,
but you're getting a sense of
being a little bit apart, but a great sense of community
and a brand new home,
so let's go through it again.
The top 10 neighborhoods that
millennial home buyers are buying in are
number one, Tower District,
number two, Fig Garden,
number three, Copper River Ranch,
number four, Woodward Lake,
number five, Loma Vista,
number six, Harland Ranch,
number seven, Old Town Clovis,
number eight, Fresno High,
number nine, Buchanan High,
number 10, Riverstone.
And those are not ranked in order
of what they're buying in, because literally,
half of these are weighted towards
your single or in a relationship or young married couple,
doing their thing millennial
that is more interested in fun neighborhoods,
like Tower District, or, you know,
Old Town Clovis, or any of those,
and Fig Garden, you know, if they want custom architecture,
Fig Garden, Fresno High, Woodward Lake.
If they want an active lifestyle, Copper River,
Woodward Lake, really great for that.
Clovis Unified, almost brand new construction
at a very affordable price.
Loma Vista, Harland Ranch, many times.
Riverstone for all the exciting things
that come with being a part of
a brand new master planned community.
Buchanan High area for the schools
and just the really great neighborhoods.
These are the neighborhoods that I,
from my experience, picked,
and you, from your ones, picked.
These are the top 10 neighborhoods
that millennial home buyers are interested in.
I hope you enjoyed it.
