A growing suburban neighborhood in Pomona
Rio Rancho is situated in southern Pomona, close to downtown. The community is centered around a large strip mall and resembles much of the surrounding city, a sprawling suburb of Los Angeles with views of the San Gabriel Mountains. Although Pomona used to have a less-than-stellar reputation, the area is bouncing back. “It's growing because of the location. It’s close to LA and close to Chino Hills, which has become too expensive. So that’s why people are going to Pomona,” says Hernan Orozco Yances, who works with Villa Properties Realty and has almost five years of experience in the area. Many newcomers have flocked to Rio Rancho, a neighborhood that expanded throughout the early 2020s and continues to do so. Buyers can find plenty of new-construction homes.

Midcentury ranch-style homes and new construction in Rio Rancho
The neighborhood is mostly residential, composed of subdivisions and cul-de-sacs of single-family homes. These have yards large enough for garden beds, often decorated with palm trees and agave plants. Some of the homes date back to the post-war period, with midcentury modern architecture. However, this area has expanded significantly in recent years, with many contemporary townhouses and single-family homes in the 2020s. Midcentury ranch-style homes range from $700,000 to $850,000, while more recently built single-family homes range from $900,000 to $1 million. Newer townhouses start from $550,000 and go up to $750,000. Those interested in the area should keep an eye on a limited market. “Even with these high interest rates, we don’t have enough inventory,” says owner and Realtor Marty Rodriguez, who works with Century 21 Marty Rodriguez and has over four decades of experience in the area. “Most people have interest rates under 4%, so they’re not moving. Even if buyers drop off, there are still buyers left.”
