Merced, CA Apartments for Rent

Located in California's San Joaquin Valley, Merced sits less than two hours from Yosemite National Park. The city features a mix of historic charm and modern development, anchored by the University of California, Merced campus. With average rent prices lower than those found in California's coastal cities, Merced's apartment market offers housing options across various price points.

Merced's transportation network includes Amtrak rail service, regional bus lines, and the Merced Regional Airport. While agriculture remains important to the local economy, the city has expanded into printing, warehousing, and distribution sectors. Recreation opportunities abound at Lake Yosemite, and downtown features preserved architecture like the Merced Theatre and Tioga Hotel. The planned California high-speed rail system, with proposed connections to San Francisco, Sacramento, and Los Angeles, points to Merced's future development potential.
