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.
Turlock is a small city however, it has hidden gems when it comes to restaurants especially since new restaurants tend to be growing. When it comes to entertainment you have plenty of options to pass the time. Since Turlock is a small city you'll be able to explore the area and feel safe since the neighorhood are warm and friendly. You'll be able to see there are a large population of college students due to the university. The best part of the university is the pond since you'll be able to witness the ducks, lizards, turtles, and fishes. Since the campus is small in size it feels a lot bigger which makes it easier to enjoy everything since the size just feels right. When it comes to affordability, the prices for services and goods seems to be a bit cheaper than the state average. Housing is also cheaper without sacrificing size or a backyard than other cities. Public schools tend to do a good job when educating the younger generation and placing them into colleges.
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.
