About Sanger
Sanger is a bedroom communty
of Fresno with a population just over 25,000. After a couple decades of stagnant growth the population expanded
by about 20% in the last 5 years. It has since leveled off with the housing crisis, but there are new subdivisions all
around town. We anticipate that as the economy and housing market recovers population growth will resume. Within
the last few years sanger has seen a new Super-walmart, Walgreen's, Panda Express, Starbucks, Long's Drugs as
well as a new high school, elementary school and more school construction is planned for the immediate future. In spite
of California's reputation the San Joaquin Valley is a politically conservative area. The people are friendly and
it generally has a kind of Mayberry feeling that is refreshing in our world today.
