Good Hope residents live off the land on multi-acre lots
Locals ride horses daily in Good Hope, a rural community along State Route 74, about 6 miles from Perris. “Only about 60 percent of the roads here are paved,” says JP Londono, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Associated Realty. “It’s hard for horses to walk on pavement, so residents prefer that sidewalks stay unpaved.” Good Hope sits in Riverside County’s District 1, where land is zoned Rural Residential (RR), allowing the community’s 9,500 residents to keep ranches with crops, horses and other livestock. Beyond agriculture and manufacturing in neighboring Mead Valley, the area’s largest employers include March Air Reserve Base, about 10 miles away.
