Finding Your Place in the Sun

This is California. You know that means high home prices, right? Now that we have that out of the way, we can announce the good news: Corcoran's real estate prices are not way out of the stratosphere like some places in this state. In fact, with low median rental price compared to the rest of the country, you're getting the best bang for your buck when it comes to rental homes in Corcoran.

Renting an apartment in Corcoran is pretty much a straightforward process. Just make sure you play by the book and hand in whatever's required of you, which is just the usual stuff -- references, credit history and proof of income.

Getting Acquainted with the Neighborhoods

We understand if you're an introvert and don't like to mingle with neighbors much. But if you don't like to wake up one day and wonder what the heck you were thinking when you moved into your new home -- no two ways about it -- you have to get out of your cave and at least get to know the different neighborhoods in this city before picking the place to call home.

City Center: Most renters gravitate towards this area. Housing options in this renter's turf mostly consist of studio type to medium 2 bedroom apartments. Everything's a stone's throw away if you live in this part of the city.

6th Ave/ Dairy Ave: If you plan to put that green thumb to good use, you should probably live in this area. You could grow to your heart's content in the spacious yards available in most homes in this neighborhood.

Bainum Ave/ King Ave: Your chance of winning a poker match is higher than finding a rental apartment in this neighborhood with its 2% vacancy rate. Not to say it's impossible, you just need more than your fair share of luck to pull it off, and quite a bit of persistence while you're at it.

Livin' La Vida in Corcoran

The city is two hours away from the Pacific Ocean and an hour away from Sierra Nevada. If the great outdoors is not your thing, perhaps the concrete jungle of Fresno or LA can quench what the real jungle of Sierra Nevada can't. Just hop on an Amtrak and you're good to go.
