Fresno is a growing city in the center of California. The Greater Fresno Metropolitan Area is nearing a population of 500,000 rapidly, with an increasing number of creative and knowledge workers wanting to live in a city where living is easy and affordable. Fresno is not for everyone; but if you decide to move here, either because of your familial relationships or job relocation, then welcome. There are things to do here, especially if you are the outdoors type. Fresno is a great place to live to balance your indoor, sitting-on-your-ass, working-on-the-computer-all-day... While we might have crazy heatwaves during summers and chilly winters with no snow, National State Parks are just a drive away: a perfect getaway for hiking, biking, snow boarding, kayaking, and rafting.
