Hanford, CA Apartments for Rent

Hanford, California sits in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, where historic architecture meets agricultural heritage. Those looking for apartments for rent in Hanford will discover a walkable downtown anchored by the restored 1929 Fox Theatre and the historic China Alley district, which reflects the area's rich cultural past. With an average rent of $1,389 for a one-bedroom apartment, Hanford offers more budget-friendly housing options than many California cities while maintaining easy access to Fresno and Visalia, both within a 30-minute drive.

The city's central location puts both the Sierra Nevada mountains and Pacific coast within a few hours' drive, making weekend getaways easily accessible.
