Our Take
Fresno 93701 offers very affordable homes and top‑rated schools, but the area suffers from high crime, poor walkability, and a long commute to major job centers. It may suit low‑income families looking for cheap housing, but the lack of transit and safety concerns make it less attractive for most people.
