Incredible options in Fresno’s entertainment hub

Urban Walkable Sports Artistic Diverse Convenient

Home to the largest collection of Fresno’s historic buildings, entertainment options, and attractions, Downtown Fresno is a distillation of everything residents love about this charming Californian city. Downtown Fresno encompasses a vibrant array of neighborhoods and districts, each offering something different. The incredible artwork of the Cultural Arts District neighbors the burgeoning culinary scene in Chinatown, both of them just minutes away from Chuckchansi Park where the Grizzlies play.

It's easy to explore all the historic sites and architecture around Downtown Fresno thanks to the area’s walkability. The Interstates that surround the area make a commute or a road trip easy, but thankfully Fresno’s expanding job market means you can find there are a large number of employers just minutes from a downtown apartment.
