Try to find someplace that doesn't smell like a dairy, but thats easier said than done. That whole area is one big cow pasture. Find a place that has GOOD A/C, as the summers are brutal hot. Find a place that has trees areound it to block the wind. Look around the block at the neighbors house, as all that area is turning into Fresno (whose claim to fame is murder, heat and raisins). LOTS of meth labs in the area. I never lived there, but have had to work there, and I can't say many good things about that whole central valley. Lots of rednecks, and lots of poverty, all right around the corner from nice housing developments. As I have moved many times now, I think its better to live in a motel for an extra few weeks than make a rush decision on a rental house/apt. Many people commute from distant areas in the central valley, making driving tough in the rush hours. Cities like Tulare are growing way too fast for the road building to keep up. If you do find a place outside of the city, be really carefull of the meth labs or working dairy, you don't want to get caught up near one. Just my .02
