About Springville
Springville is a tiny foothill town of about 500 on the Tule River at the western edge of the Giant Sequoia National Monument. Life here is about sequoia groves — Balch Park and Mountain Home Grove are minutes away — plus river swimming and mountain air. Homes are a mix of cabins, ranch properties, and modest single-family houses; Porterville, 20 minutes down the hill, handles daily needs.
