Central Perris offers freeway access and relative affordability
Central Perris is a growing suburban community in the heart of the Inland Empire. While commuters value the neighborhood’s ready freeway access and proximity to a Metrorail station, other residents find that life in Perris has its own benefits. “There’s so much to do for people who don’t want to drive to LA or San Diego,” says Alton Jones, Realtor with eXp Realty of California, who lives and works in Perris. “It’s also more affordable than LA — the same house that’s $500,000 here would be $900,000 or more in LA.”
City of Perris parks and a variety of nearby outdoor recreation
City parks dot the area, providing green space and a variety of sports facilities. Copper Creek Park has a basketball court and covered picnic areas. Skaters can practice their tricks at Paragon Park, and the 14-acre Patriot Park is home to several soccer fields and a couple of full-size football fields.
There's more than just the neighborhood’s many city-run parks. “There’s so much to do nearby — I am still discovering new things,” Jones says. Just a few miles south, baseball fans can watch youth tournaments at Major League Dreams, where the fields are small-scale replicas of Fenway Park and other beloved major league stadiums. Another popular attraction is Skydive Perris, in southern Perris. “They have a plane big enough for 20 or 30 people to jump out of,” Jones says. For tamer thrills, the facility also offers indoor skydiving and a restaurant that overlooks the landing area. “It’s fascinating watching people fall out of a perfectly good airplane — you can hear the chutes fluttering in the wind too,” he says. The Lake Perris State Recreation Area is a few miles northwest, with hiking trails, sport climbing and boating opportunities.

Spanish-style architecture and some older ranch-style homes
Many of the community’s developments began to pop up in the 1990s, and more are slated for construction. Clusters of Spanish-style homes rest close together along sidewalk-lined residential streets. Most have front-facing garages and fenced backyards. There are a few midcentury ranch-style homes near Interstate 15, and these sometimes come with nearly an acre of land. Single-family housing prices tend to range from $450,000 to $700,000. HOAs are relatively uncommon in the area, but there are a few developments with monthly association fees between $50 and $180. Manufactured homes generally sell between $80,000 and $400,000.
