Bethune is a suburban enclave with its share of amenities
In Bethune, exercising at the park, grabbing a hearty lunch and picking up a new book to read are all possible without leaving the neighborhood. This pocket of Moreno Valley combines a tranquil suburban atmosphere of new traditional-style homes on sidewalk-lined streets with the convenience of having multiple retail plazas and parks within walking distance. “Moreno Valley is known for affordability more than anything else. In Bethune you have a couple of different options, and it’s farther from the freeway,” says Justin King, a Realtor with Nest Real Estate who grew up in the area. “You have homes that are good starter homes. If you want something a little bit bigger, there are 1,800- and 1,900-square-foot homes.

Mediterranean-style houses form a cohesive climate
Many of Bethune’s winding residential roads have a similar look, packed with multistory homes. Virtually all of them feature new traditional Mediterranean styling with terra cotta roofs and stucco facades, and most were built in the late 1980s and the 1990s. However there are some new homes in spots, including in the gated Iris Park subdivision on the north end of the neighborhood, full of four-bedroom options. “There’s a pretty good variety, from two bedrooms all the way up to five bedrooms,” King says. Houses across Bethune sell for between $500,000 and $620,000 based on square footage.
Bethune has a new development in the north called Iris Park.
