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
