Madera is a small town and growth as a city has been somewhat slow. The schools are average and shopping is limited but Fresno is a 30 min. drive away. If you are looking to retire or financially set then it is not a bad place to be. However, if you are looking for robust job opportunities then I would suggest look elsewhere. Housing and rental prices are almost identical to bigger cities nearby which is a disadvantage. Overall experience was average but it really depends on what it is that you are looking for in a city.
What I personally liked about Madera was the community spirit everyone had and how they would all come together as one to support each other. One thing I would like to see change is the safety, a lot of the times I would hear a lot of people talking about how much criminal activity there is in Madera.
Town is split by the rail road tracks. One side is heavy crime (drug, gangs) the other side is pretty average medium size town.
