Turlock has an outstanding community! Although, Covid-19 has interfered with most community outings a friendly smile awaits at local stores or friendly neighbors. There are a few issues involving homelessness in this growing city, but that is an issue which has been brought up in multiple town meetings in which I am sure they will resolve quickly. Nonetheless, Turlock is green and full of aspiring members who keep the community safe and clean.
I've lived in Turlock almost all of my life. During my younger years, I remember feeling completely safe and playing in the park or walking to the library. As I grew older, I slowly discovered all the community events that were held and how Turlock slowly but surely expanded. Now we have dog parks, a small waterpark for that blazing summer heat, a farm for our high school students, and an influx of new businesses. Even better, I've seen a growth in the racial diversity found in Turlock that has definitely allowed many people, especially the students, to come into contact and learn from other cultures. However, as the saying goes, not all that glitters is gold. Unfortunately there does seem to be an increase in crimes that were very rare before as well as an increase in our homeless population. All in all, I think Turlock is a great place to live and learn.
I have lived in various places in Stanislaus County over the last decade and by far my favorite place is Turlock. It has everything all the bigger surrounding cities have but with a smaller hometown feel. It is not small by any means though. A population around 70k. I live and work near the cute downtown area that is bustling with great restaurants, boutique shops, salons, and bars. What keeps Turlock young is the gorgeous campus of Stanislaus State University. We get an influx of young people every semester that flood our town and keep our businesses alive and town youthful. Turlock is conveniently located 20 minutes from Modesto, and hour and a half from San Francisco, and Sacramento is only a short drive away. Turlock has it all.
