Fresno Reviews
Rating 3.45 out of 5 1,244 reviews
Fresno has lots of great small businesses, beautiful parks to visit, beautiful cerenary of historical buildings, lots of places to have family dinner. Let's not forget about the shopping centers! I would like to see a change in regards to the homeless people living in our community its not only looks like the town if not worthy of living in but also to help the ones in need, to work as a community and be seen as equals. I would like to see a change with drug usage and gang and for crimes to go down. I would like to feel safe in the community i'm living in. Overall it has great educational opportunities for the young and the adults and lots of job opportunities. Fresno is only growing and becoming better. I would recommend living in fresno for long term living or short term. Fresno is family friendly and its diversity ranges in all types. Commuting is not horrible just when you're late you'll hit rush hour and be extra late or the weekends the traffic is horrible. I would recommend
As a born and raised resident of Fresno, Fresno has been my home for all of my life. While this city is still growing, it has also reflected a diverse community of people celebrating a variety of different cultures and traditions. For example, every year Fresno holds the Greek Fest, traditional ceremonies at the local Japanese garden and Grape blessings within the Armenian community. This richness in culture and diversity has allowed me to learn about different celebrations and traditions. I often take this for granted, but I am especially glad to have grown up in this type of environment.
During my time in Fresno, I have increasingly felt there is less and less to do activity wise. Although it is close in proximity to major cities such as LA, San Francisco, and national parks, there are fewer sources of entertainment directed towards younger audiences. A change in attractions and entertainment may be more appealing despite it being a small town.

After 20 years of growing up in the west area of Fresno near Edison High School, not much has changed. This area has been neglected for so long, it wasn’t until recently that there have been some changes like the construction of a new middle school, parks, renovations and new additions to the high school, including the ongoing construction of a college campus.There are still however no grocery stores or retail stores nearby. Most people have to commute to the nearest grocery store, and the nearest outlets which aren’t necessarily close. The only stores that are walking distance are liquor stores. The air quality is bad and the aesthetics aren’t really pleasing. Police sirens are constantly heard and homeless people walking around.
