Panorama Heights, CA

Sitting around 5,000 feet in the mountains near Posey, Panorama Heights offers a quiet, pine-covered retreat above the San Joaquin Valley. Daily life is centered on the outdoors and a close-knit neighborhood where people look out for each other, pitch in with winter snowplowing, and gather for events like the annual fire auxiliary barbecue. Major shopping and medical services require a drive down the mountain, but the tradeoff is crisp mountain air, scenic forest views, and a peaceful, slow-paced community.
