Turlock Overview

Home to a wide array of flourishing businesses in the medical and agricultural fields, not to mention the proud destination for the lauded California State University Stanislaus Campus, Turlock is a fantastic part of California well worth discovering. 

What is the history of Turlock?

Founded in the late 1800s, the city initially was composed of a modest body of denizens, as well as a post office and a grain warehouse. Turlock was officially incorporated in 1908. Cattle farming and land sales to gold rush miners helped the local economy grow, and fruit farming came to prominence in the region well into the 1900s as well. The university opened its doors in 1960, and unsurprisingly the local population grew in number, and both residential and commercial expansion continued in the city well through the 1990s. Today, Turlock apartments often act as bedroom communities to overflow from nearby Modesto. 

How is the weather in Turlock?

California is known for its favorable climate, and those living in Turlock rentals will undoubtedly enjoy this perk. Summers are sunny and warm, with winters mild and often quite pleasant. Snow is almost unheard of even though winter is the wettest season, and both spring and autumn are dominated by pleasant daytime temps and crisp, jacket-weather evenings.

How do I get around town?

While Turlock Transit offers some bus service in the city, most living in Turlock apartments rely on a personal auto for day-to-day travel needs. A commuter rail station is in the planning stages for the next decade, with air travel largely focused in neighboring cities. 

What is the Turlock commute like?

State Route 165 is a major roadway in the city, as is State Route 99, with both generally moving at a reasonable flow on most days. Still, California is known for traffic woes and consistent road construction, so those commuters residing in Turlock apartments and traveling elsewhere for work may want to allow extra time most days during peak drive hours.

What are the local media outlets?

Local newspaper the 'Turlock Journal' has been in business for over a hundred years, and radio in the area is a diverse mix of classic rock, sporting news and Spanish-inspired formats. Television is made up of most popular offerings such as NBC and CBS, thanks to numerous nearby affiliates.

Why live in Turlock, CA?

Highlighted by glorious California weather as well as a myriad of amenities to fit a wide assortment of lifestyles, apartments in Turlock are an excellent choice for working class couples as well as fledgling students. From local public parks to the scenic beauty of the still-active agricultural farming of the area, this west coast locale is welcoming and charming in its own distinct way.

What Turlock landmarks should I see?

Check out the statue of city founder John Mitchell in the Central Park region of downtown, or take a cruise past the famous almond orchards of Turlock. The architecture of the CSU campus is well worth a gander, or simply take some time to feed the ducks at Donnelly Park, both within easy reach of numerous apartments for rent in Turlock. 

What is there to do around Turlock?

Admire the works on the walls of the Carnegie Arts Center, or try your luck with a visit to the Turlock Poker Room. The Turlock Historical Society Museum is a great place to get acquainted with local lore, and Columbia Park offers a swimming pool for the warm summer days. Enjoy some Latin-inspired cuisine at La Mo, or simply have some cocktails at Staley's Place, both an easy reach from many Turlock rentals. 

Any annual festivals or Turlock events to know?

The Color The Skies Hot Air Balloon Fest is a always a great and scenic time, with Motown Fry Fest dominating the crowds every summer. June is highlighted by the Turlock Holistic Expo, and expect plenty of pig roasts and rum drinks during the Hawaiian May Day Celebration.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Head to the coast and explore San Francisco's famous pier and Alcatraz, or cruise the length of California with a drive up Highway 101. Yosemite National Park is a short drive to the east, and Sacramento's thriving nightlife scene is a quick jot from many Turlock apartments.

Where is the best place to move in Turlock?

Whether you are a CSU student on the hunt for an economic yet cozy one-bedroom unit close to the campus and nightlife options, or a business professional yearning for a luxurious 3-bedroom spread near the center of downtown outfitted with onsite parking, we are confident the ideal California apartment for rent in Turlock is out there waiting to meet you. Start your search today and start enjoying all the sunny west coast has to offer!
