About Avenal :

Avenal, California, is a small city in Kings County, located in the San Joaquin Valley. Known as the "Oasis in the Sun," it has a warm, dry climate with hot summers and mild winters. The city has a strong agricultural presence, with farming and oil production being key industries. The community is tight knit, with a slower pace of life and a relatively low cost of living compared to larger California cities. While amenities are somewhat limited, nearby cities like Hanford and Lemoore offer additional shopping, dining, and entertainment options. If you enjoy a quiet, rural lifestyle with a focus on community, Avenal would be a good fit.
