The neighborhoods of Fresno generate far too many stereotypes to count. Hipster communities, preppy regions, college-friendly districts, and, of course, ghettos all exist.
In Fresno, it appears like there is a neighborhood for everyone.
While Fresno is routinely ranked as one of the greatest places to live in the country, the city isn't all sunshine and lollipops due to its solid economy and a plethora of entertainment options. As a result, some areas aren't as appealing as others.
