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.
Ranch-style homes are common throughout Corona.

Corona is a safe place where you go to raise a family. It is pretty quite and there isn't much to do in Corona, but there are places like Disney Land, different malls, and other activities that are less than 30 minutes away

The schools are great here in Corona, but commute time is very long, with lots of traffic every morning and evening.
