Arroyos and swimming pools
Alessandro Heights is a secluded upscale Riverside suburb located in the rugged San Bernardino Mountain foothills about 6 miles south of the city center. Writer Helen Hunt Jackson made the Riverside area famous as the setting of her 1884 novel Ramona, and this suburb is named for the title character’s husband, Alessandro. “It’s a newer neighborhood with more recently built homes,” says Realtor Brian Hopkins, co-founder of Power of 2 Realty, a Riverside resident who has been working in real estate for five years. “It’s filled with orange groves, just like Arlington Heights next door.”
