New suburban homes in the Southern California countryside

Rancho Belago—which combines Spanish and Italian words meaning "ranch" and "beautiful lake"—has a history of agriculture and scenic recreational lakes. Today, the neighborhood looks vastly different than a decade ago, with plenty of new housing developments. "You're going to see newer neighborhoods, but there are also larger properties there, so you get larger homes on larger lots," says Tyler Hungerford, leader of the Hungerford Team with Keller Williams Riverside. "Specifically, south of the freeway, there are quite a few neighborhoods that have larger lots." Homebuyers in Rancho Belago have their pick of modern housing, with several subdivisions spread out in the area, separated by large open fields. While development has increased in the area, residents still benefit from a less busy neighborhood than central Moreno Valley. "It's quieter. You're not going to see a lot of traffic, and there are not a lot of people driving through to get to another city," says Gabriela Hanson, a Realtor with Nest Real Estate, who has sold multiple homes in Rancho Belago.

Scenic mountain lakes and convenient city parks

Rancho Belago residents have easy access to popular outdoor spots like Lake Perris State Recreation Area. This 8,800-acre park is centered around the namesake lake, which visitors can use for boating, fishing and swimming. There are multiple beaches where residents can set up in the sand and spend the day enjoying the sunshine. The park also has several hiking trails and campgrounds for those who want to get away for an overnight trip. The neighborhood also has multiple city parks for other recreational opportunities. Morrison Park is a 15-acre green space with soccer and baseball fields, picnic tables and a walking path. Golf lovers can tee off at Rancho del Sol Golf Club, a par-71 course featuring scenic views of Mt. Russell throughout the 18 holes.

Modern homes with traditional flair

Homes in Rancho Belago are primarily newer suburban houses built in the late 2000s. Many incorporate Spanish elements, like red tile roofs, stucco siding and arched doorways. Most come with two- or three-car garages on the front and are built close together on neighborhood streets lined with sidewalks and palm trees. Some houses are spread out in a more rural area, giving residents space from their neighbors. Hungerford says prices in the neighborhood make it appealing for buyers in Southern California. "It's a place where a lot of people can still go and get an affordable property. Affordability is probably the biggest driver in that area. People can still afford to own a property and drive to LA if they need to," he says. Most houses cost between $550,000 and $700,000. Larger properties can cost between $700,000 and $750,000. There are some townhouses and condos in the neighborhood that cost around $430,000 to $480,000.
