A commuter’s place to be in Southern California
Anchored by the junction of state Route 91 and Interstate 15, Riverside Valley Home Gardens in Riverside County offers suburban living with views of rolling hills in a convenient location for commuters, without the typical Southern California price tag. “It’s affordable,” says Gina Johnson, a Realtor with Allison James Estates & Homes who’s been selling homes in Home Gardens for seven years. The median price for a single-family home in this neighborhood is $630,000, less than the surrounding communities where median prices are above $750,000. Buyers will primarily find three-bedroom ranch and Mediterranean-style homes. Johnson also says, “Living in Home Gardens is so handy for commuting to Orange County and San Bernardino.” An unincorporated community of the city of Corona, Home Gardens is diverse in makeup, with warehouses to the west and residential areas to the east. The southern half is primarily quarries and natural space.

Ranch and Mediterranean styles priced below the Corona average
Most homes here are single-family, averaging 1,400 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, but there are options big and small for buyers. Prices range from $135,000 to $750,000 and are generally lower than the neighboring city of Corona, where the average sale is more than $623,000. Along the gridded streets in the heart of Home Gardens are 1960s ranch-style homes with attached garages. For larger layouts, subdivisions of Mediterranean-style homes built in the 1980s can come with backyard pools and sometimes homeowners associations. There are also communities of double-wide manufactured homes with amenities like pools and playgrounds.

Getting around the Inland Empire
Many commuters use I-15 and Route 91 —or simply “the 15” and “the 91” to locals— for jobs in Orange County, 30 miles west, and San Bernardino, 25 miles northeast. Several projects are underway to improve traffic flow on these heavily used highways. While most residents drive, several bus stops along Magnolia Avenue connect people to neighboring communities like Corona and the La Sierra train station.

Shopping along and around Magnolia Avenue
Small, locally owned businesses are sprinkled along Home Garden’s thoroughfare of Magnolia Avenue. Among them is La Mazorca, a Mexican grocery store known for handmade tortillas. For a more contemporary take on Mexican cuisine, residents can dine out at Luna Modern Mexican Kitchen in the commercial area to the west. For the essentials, locals cross the 91 to Corona Hills Plaza in Corona Ranch, home to big box stores and chains like Costco, Walmart, and 99 Ranch Market.
Luna Modern Mexican Kitchen is a popular place for date night or if you're just hungry.

Shoot hoops, or drop in at City Park
To connect with nature, residents travel out of the neighborhood. “While there are no parks in Home Gardens, there is plenty of green space around it. People typically head over to Corona,” says Johnson. That’s where residents can head to City Park, with 20 acres of open space and athletic facilities like basketball and volleyball courts, a swimming pool and skate park. Work is underway to transform City Park, which dates to 1913, based on feedback from the community.
City Park has a large skate park that brings the best out of all the local skaters.
