The Google Earth view of Merced looks like somebody dropped a bunch of buildings into the middle of farmland. That's kind of what it is. Located in California’s San Joaquin Valley, known to locals as the Central Valley, Merced is a city in flux. There’s good, and there’s bad, like in all cities. Let’s get the bad stuff out of the way first, and then go about this here apartment hunt, eh?

The Bad Stuff

If you’re considering moving to Merced from a big city, get ready for a much slower pace. In fact, you know when a city’s bragging rights include the slogan “Modesto’s not far,” we’re talking a snail’s pace.

The Good Stuff

Still there? Great! Merced has some wonderful features, including parks on the river, a lake, bike and hiking trails and an old, historic downtown area. Neighborhoods are a mixed bag with old Victorians and more modern apartment buildings making up the bulk of the living quarters.

Merced is experiencing a 3.4% annual growth rate, according to city officials. Downtown is being revitalized into an urban setting offering cute little boutiques, cafes and parks.

Living in Merced offers lots of day trippin’ opportunities. The City (San Francisco) is located 110 miles to the north and L.A. is 310 miles south. Yosemite is two hours away and head two and a half hours west to hit the boardwalk in Santa Cruz.

Merced Apartment Hunting Tips

Do yourself a favor and pick up a nice, clean file folder at your nearest office supply store. This will keep all your documents from looking like they went through the washer before you hand them over to the rental agent. When you apply for a Merced apartment, bring your last two or three pay-stubs, a copy of your driver’s license and your checkbook. Although the rates vary, plan on spending at least $40 for the complex to run your credit to make sure you’re a fine, upstanding potential resident.

Small Talk

We're so glad you asked. Merced has pretty good weather, except when it’s super foggy. The average temperature in the winter is 55 and in the summer, it’s 97 but it does get hotter. That’s why we told you how far away the beach is... it’s cooler there.

Merced might not be the shining beacon of hope in the sunshine state, but there are plenty of diamonds in the rough with regard to your housing search, you just have to do a bit of digging. With a little determination and some elbow grease, we're sure you'll find a great apartment to call home. Might as well get started while you're here. Good luck and happy hunting!
