A mostly agricultural community located about 20 miles southeast of Visalia, the Lindsay/Strathmore neighborhood provides easy access to amenities via arrow-straight rural highways to the area's small towns. Long fields of row crops and verdant orchards line the quiet stretch of road between Lindsay and Strathmore, creating a pastoral landscape that feels miles away from the city.

The rural feel of Highway 65 and others aside, Lindsay/Strathmore is about halfway between Fresno and Bakersfield, with about an hour to each. Sequoia National Forest is just east of Lindsay/Strathmore, providing amazing hiking, mountain biking, and camping among the majestic Sequoias. Visit the underground Crystal Cave and climb Moro Rock, a giant granite dome with amazing views.

Lindsay is a busy little city filled with shops, restaurants, and businesses. See a play at the Lindsay Community Theater, a historic Art Deco theater. Play an 18-hole round of golf at the Lindsay Golf Course. Head south to Strathmore to visit popular restaurants like the Orange Works Café or do some shopping at the top-rated Guadalajara Meat Market.

Lindsay is a small town with a population of 13,303 in 2017. What I like about Lindsay is that it is small and you know most of the people living here. There are a lot of friendly people in Lindsay but just like everywhere else there are people that are not so friendly. In Lindsay, there are very few stores in Lindsay but Porterville is a bigger town with more stores which is only 15 minutes away. The schools here in Lindsay aren't perfect but I think they are good especially the ones with both English and Spanish classes like Washington Elementary.

I like that everyone is friendly and it's a small town so everyone knows you. It's great because the schools are usually close to many homes and students are assigned by where they live.

Lindsay is very pretty in my opinion. Some days, I just admire the sunsets and the greenery here. I would like to see more active things around town though. We used to have Farmer's Market on Friday nights but they're gone now (from what I've heard). There are some sketchy areas here but there are very nice neighborhoods as well.

It is a very small, but humble town. Everyone knows everyone which is the beauty of Lindsay. Very friendly town in the heart of the central valley of California.
