Location is one of Tulare’s best assets.  The city is situated in the Central San Joaquin Valley along Highway 99, 45 miles south of Fresno and 60 miles north of Bakersfield.  Our mid-state location benefits businesses needing same-day access to key California markets as well as residents seeking recreational opportunities in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains to the east, and spectacular California coastline to the west.  
 
Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay area are less than a 4 hour drive and, in addition to being served by Freeway 99, Tulare is 40 miles from Interstate 5, which connects California to Oregon and Washington.
