Modesto is a progressive city with a rich past and promising future. It is
located amidst the sprawling farmlands of Stanislaus County that stretch from
the foothills of the California Coastal Range to the base of the Sierra Nevadas.
Modesto has long been known for its rich soil and abundant crops. With a legacy
of agricultural innovation and prosperity, Stanislaus County is a major force
in the agricultural industry, ranking 8th in the state for agricultural production
with an annual income of $1.15 billion.
Modesto combines the best of both worlds, where the small-town values of a caring,
involved community coexist with the excitement and stimulation of a burgeoning
metropolis. We have a growing population of over 200,000 with an average age
of 34. The city is fast-becoming a cultural, social and entertainment hub for
the Central Valley, offering over 20 public art displays, the Modesto Symphony
Orchestra, the largest garden club in California and the Gallo Arts Center (currently
under construction). Annual events include Concerts in the Park, Family Movie
Night, Graffiti Night, Summerfest, X-Fest, International Festival, 4th of July
Parade and Christmas Parade.
Modesto is also conveniently located in proximity to several renowned colleges
and universities, including Modesto Junior College (California’s first
community college), California State University - Stanislaus, and the University
of California’s newest campus, UC, Merced.
Modesto also offers:
- Affordably priced land located in the heart of California.
- Easy access and close proximity to some of the most popular tourist
destinations in the world, including San Francisco, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite
- Favorable year-round climate
- Full slate of modern city amenities
- Quality health care – three hospitals and numerous specialty clinics and
