South Corona
Affordable, spanish-revival homes
Compared to LA and Orange County, homes here are more affordable, and you have more space between houses,” says Williams. Spanish-inspired ranch-style homes from the late 90’s are priced between $650,000 and $850,000, with outdoor patios that lead to grass.

Corona-Norco Unified schools in the neighborhood
Students may start at Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary, ranked 9/10 for overall test scores on GreatSchools, and might continue to El Cerrito Middle which received an A minus on Niche. Santiago High (go, Sharks!), rated 8/10 on GreatSchools, is known for its marching band, which has performed several times in the Rose Bowl Parade.

Heading outdoors near the Santa Ana Mountains
Skyline Drive Trail offers over 11 dirt-packed miles for bikers and hikers to enjoy the grassy, mountain views and purple, desert wildflowers, while Fresno Canyon Trail is lined with wooden fences to guide hikers on their trek. Families can visit the dino-inspired playground at Mountain Gate Park which also includes tennis and basketball courts. On hot, summer days, kids can cool off in the splash pads at Citrus Community Park. The Corona Heritage Park and Museum sits on the 5-acre heart of one of the last remaining pieces of the 2,000-acre lemon grove that once thrived here. Visitors can take tours to see a variety of tree species within the park and learn more about The Arts Colony Gallery, a group of local artists-in-residence whose studios are based in the park.

Shopping and dining near Grand Boulevard
Downtown Corona, known for its circular Grand Boulevard because of the city’s history of road racing, is the center of local shopping. Baco Wine and Grill offers higher-end Mexican-inspired steak and seafood dishes. Residents can also visit Miguel’s Jr. and Cowboy Surfer for a cheaper meal. The Shops at Dos Lagos, about a 20-minute drive east of South Corona, offer chain clothes and home goods retailers like Express and Z Gallerie. For grocery shopping, Albertson’s and Sprouts are about a 15-minute drive away.

Getting around South Corona
South Corona is very much a commuter town,” says Michelle Williams. She says Green River Road that connects to the Foothill Expressway has been a huge help in getting people across town, despite congested California traffic. People like to travel to both Temecula via the 15 for the wine country there and Anaheim via the 91 for those famous mouse ears. Public transit options like the Corona Cruiser bus system are also available.About 50 miles from LA, the Inland Empire’s South Corona is an inviting, suburban neighborhood with plenty of mountain terrain to enjoy.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
