A countryside community on the outskirts of Perris
Mead Valley sits west of Perris in Riverside County—a place where dirt roads connect homes on half-acre lots and pickup trucks share the road with horseback riders. For years, this unincorporated community has drawn families seeking space for citrus trees, livestock and a slower countryside lifestyle. “It’s a big farming community with a large Latino population," says JP Londono, real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Associated Brokers with 20 years of experience. "You’ll hear roosters crowing in the morning, and many people grow their own food.”
The story is a little different east of the community near Interstate 215. Over the years, warehouses have sprouted along the corridor, and developers have started buying homes to convert into truck yards and distribution centers. Like the rest of the Inland Empire, Mead Valley is slowly transforming into more of an industrial area than rural farmland as companies like FedEx, Amazon and CJ Logistics set up shop here.
