Towngate offers abundant outdoor recreation

Towngate is a mixed-use area of subdivisions, schools and retail, just 2 miles from the city’s tallest mountain. “One of our most recognizable landmarks is the ‘M’ on Box Springs Mountain. It serves as a unifying symbol for residents,” says Ulises Cabrera, Moreno Valley’s mayor since 2022. “It’s a beacon for those returning from San Diego or Los Angeles.” The neighborhood is anchored by a city park with a historic trail leading to a reservoir for swimming, fishing and horseback riding.

Historic trailheads that lead to Lake Perris

TownGate Memorial Park connects to the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail. This path starts at the park and ends at the 8,000-acre Lake Perris State Recreation Area, home to the Ya’i Heki’ Regional Indian Museum. Soon Moreno Valley will get a space that preserves its history. Cabrera shares the city’s excitement for its first museum, opening in 2026 with immersive art projections and exhibits on Indigenous history. TownGate Memorial Park has two playgrounds and open green space, while Moreno Valley Community Park on Frederick Street offers lighted tennis courts and a skate park.

Proximity to popular shopping centers and up and coming restaurants

TownGate Crossing and Canyon Crossings are the main shopping hubs, with major retailers like Target, Walmart and Costco. “These areas are our central shopping spots for something good to eat,” Cabrera says. “We are also excited about our developing town center and creating more amenities for our residents.” Dining options include coffee shops, Chinese takeout, authentic Mexican spots and regional chains like Country Kitchen and Polly’s Pies. HOGGS Gourmet Grill has been a family-owned staple since 2007, serving burgers and barbecues in a backyard-style setting. Annie’s Cafe is a longtime favorite in Temecula and will open a Moreno Valley location in 2025. For groceries, WinCo Foods is nearby on Day Street.

Convenient commutes to Riverside

Environmental concerns

The city sits on the San Jacinto Fault Zone, making it prone to earthquakes. Residents may need separate coverage since many homeowners’ insurance policies don’t cover earthquakes.
