Renting in Clovis, CA: What You Need to Know in 2025

Whether you’re new to the Central Valley or simply looking for a fresh start in a new home, Clovis is a fantastic place to rent. With top-rated schools, clean neighborhoods, and a growing downtown full of charm, it's no surprise this city is one of the most desirable rental markets in the region.

But before you sign a lease, let’s walk through the current rental trends, what to expect, and tips to help you find the perfect place to call home.

🏠 Current Rental Market Snapshot (2025)

• Average Monthly Rent in Clovis: $2,336

• Studio Apartments: Starting around $950

• 2-Bedroom Homes: Typically between $1,900–$2,200

• 3–4 Bedroom Homes: Range from $2,300 to $3,000+ depending on location and amenities

👉 Tip: Homes with pools, large lots, or updated interiors often rent fast and command a higher price—especially near Buchanan High or the Loma Vista area.

🔍 What Renters Are Looking For

Here’s what’s most in-demand right now:

• Pet-friendly properties

• Energy-efficient homes

• In-unit laundry & garage space

• Proximity to Clovis Unified Schools

• Easy access to walking trails or parks

✅ Renter Tips for a Smooth Search

1. Start Early
   Great rentals in Clovis move quickly—especially larger homes or anything in Old Town. Begin your search at least 30–45 days before your move date.

2. Be Prepared
   Have your paperwork ready: ID, recent pay stubs, rental history, and references. Many landlords use tenant screening platforms now, so a solid credit score is helpful.

3. Consider All Costs
   In addition to rent, you may need to budget for:

   • Application fees

   • Security deposit (typically equal to one month’s rent)

   • Pet fees or deposits

   • Utility setup if not included

4. Tour Safely & In Person (if possible)
   While virtual tours are helpful, nothing beats walking through the space yourself. Trust your instincts and always verify listings to avoid scams.

📍 Best Neighborhoods for Renters

• Loma Vista: Newer developments, quiet streets, family-friendly feel

• Old Town Clovis: Walkable, charming, and close to shops & restaurants

• Windsor North: Near great schools and parks with larger lot homes

• Sierra Bicentennial: A hidden gem with affordability and mature trees
