Suburban housing at the edge of Moreno Valley

At the northern edge of Moreno Valley, Hidden Springs lives up to its name. “Hidden Springs is exactly what it sounds like: a hidden gem in Moreno Valley. Some people don’t even know it’s there,” says Heather Ramirez, a Realtor with Castra Realty, Inc. and neighborhood resident for over ten years. “It has a serene, small-town feel and access to lots of nature. Wild donkeys roam the neighborhood, but it’s just five minutes from a grocery store.” Adjacent to Box Springs Mountain Reserve, this 1987 suburban housing development rests among the semi-rugged landscape of the San Jacinto and San Bernardino Mountain foothills. Its houses were built around an artificial lake called Poorman’s Reservoir. Hidden Springs is centrally located in the Inland Empire, 3.5 miles from downtown Moreno Valley.

Established planned neighborhood north of downtown

The homes in Hidden Springs capture a specific moment in time. The planned community was born in the late 1980s when the area began transitioning from rural to urban, and almost every home was built between 1987 and 1992. Many have Spanish elements like stucco walls and terracotta roof tiles, and solar panels are becoming more common in the area. Oak-shaded homes line together on tidy streets, often ending in cul-de-sacs. There’s also still land available in the extreme northern part of the community for homebuyers wanting larger lots. "Hidden Springs is an established community where residents enjoy great schools without needing a homeowner's association," says Diana Prather, a real estate agent with Re/Max One with over two decades of experience. Homes sell for a median price of $565,000 after 24 days on the market, although the entire price range begins around $550,000 before continuing into the low $900,000s.

Pocket parks and vast preserves

Westbluff Park covers five acres with two playgrounds, picnic shelters and barbecues. At the top of the neighborhood, Hidden Springs Park features an ADA-accessible playground and walking path alongside equestrian and multi-purpose trails. In addition to the neighborhood’s many walking paths, there are miles of hiking and biking trails just to the west in the Box Springs Mountain Reserve. Spanning over 3,400 acres, the expansive park is covered in native wild grasses and offers incredible views of the valley and nearby Riverside from the 3,000-foot mountain’s peak.

Highly rated schools with internationally recognized programs

Children in the neighborhood can attend Niche B-minus-rated Hidden Springs Elementary, B-minus-rated Vista Heights Middle and B-rated Canyon Springs High. Hidden Springs Elementary educates around 600 children yearly, while Vista Heights Middle operates a Global Junior Scholars program to prepare students for high school coursework. Canyon Springs High participates in the International Baccalaureate program, which awards a diploma recognized by universities worldwide. For a local higher education option, Moreno Valley College offers more than 50 associate degrees and professional certifications.

Houses of worship

Hidden Springs has several Protestant and Catholic churches in and around the neighborhood. It’s also 3.5 miles from the Islamic Development Center and Abraham Islamic Center.

Local roads and nearby freeways

The community is backed into the Box Springs Mountain Reserve, so parts of the rustic northern neighborhood can be a short drive from main roads like Pigeon Pass Road, Heacock Street or Sunnymead Ranch Parkway. Once there, though, the Moreno Valley Freeway is just over two miles away. The neighborhood was designed to be very walkable and has bike lanes installed along the larger roadways. The No. 18 bus line runs through Hidden Springs, which lies 3.5 miles from Heacock Medical Plaza. Ontario International Airport is 25 miles away on California Route 60.

Coffee, sushi and cultural events

Cupcake & Espresso Bar lets locals wake up to specialty coffees, hot tea and all-day sandwiches. A few doors down, Oishii Sushi & Teriyaki carries a variety of Japanese fare and offers a Sunday brunch with optional bottomless mimosas. Residents are a short drive from a grocery store, like regional powerhouse Stater Bros. Markets. Four miles away, Moreno Valley Mall is the city’s go-to shopping center, with large retailers, restaurants and entertainment establishments. The town also sponsors various community events throughout the year, including an adult egg hunt, movie nights and the MoVal Multicultural & Art Festival. This Saturday art-based event celebrates the rich culture of Moreno Valley with live music performances and traditional dance demonstrations from Filipino and Afro-Caribbean artists.

Environmental factors

Moreno Valley is near the San Jacinto Faultline, one of the most active faults in Southern California. The city also has a risk of wildfires and a lower chance of flooding. To lessen the damage these events might cause, the town restricts building homes too close to the fault lines, ensures all buildings meet construction codes and requires housing developments to create wildfire fuel breaks through landscape management.
