About Old Fig Garden
Old Fig Garden — known locally as Fig Garden — is a historic, unincorporated census-designated place in north Fresno spanning about 6 square miles. Famous for its tree-lined streets shaded by fig trees planted in the early 1900s, it is one of Fresno's most established neighborhoods: Tudors, Colonials, bungalows, and ranch homes on lots up to estate size. Its identity is inseparable from two institutions: Christmas Tree Lane, the Van Ness Boulevard holiday lights tradition running since 1920, and Fig Garden Village, the premier open-air shopping center (Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, Whole Foods, lululemon — acquired by DRA Advisors/CenterCal in May 2025). The neighborhood maintains its own police district and fire service.
