Corona puts homeowners close to LA for a fraction of the cost
The Riverside County town of Corona offers commuter convenience to Los Angeles and Orange County, but costs a whole lot less than either. “With single-family homes averaging $700,000,” says Realtor Jose Sepulveda of RE/MAX, “Corona is a relatively affordable version of Southern California. You’ll encounter the usual rush-hour traffic on the 91, and you’ll have to go to Riverside for some real nightlife, “Sepulveda continues, “but right at home you'll have a low crime rate, great weather and tons of parks.” About 50 miles northwest of Los Angeles, right at the junction of the 91 and 15 freeways, Corona is 15 miles west of Riverside and 22 miles east of Orange County’s Anaheim. Once dubbed “the lemon capital of the world,” Corona today is home to headquarters for Fender and Monster Energy, with easy access to hiking trails in the Corona Mountains.

Midcentury and Mediterranean homes at lower costs than in LA
That Corona home averaging $700,000 is likely to be either midcentury ranch-style or midcentury modern with three or four bedrooms on a mid-size lot. With larger lots and layouts, Mediterranean-style homes from the 1980s and ‘90s average $800,000. Attached town house condos from the mid-’80s average $550,000, plus a $260 monthly HOA; and in a handful of mobile home parks — both 55-plus and all-ages — two-bedroom units average $200,000.

This area has a great community and I would choose to live here again. There are a lot of nice people around here but I would actually rather prefer to live in a different state because of the heat.

It's a nice city with plenty of stores and activities to choose from. It's not a very expensive place to live and is great to raise a family.

It's a safe environment depending where you live, but there isn't much activities to do. The schools are pretty good because they keep increasing in safety and increase in educating students.

Overall my experience living in Corona has been great. Lots of convenient shops around, as well as dining options. Also, most everyone we've come across has been kind and likable. The only thing I'd like to see is more community events.
