1950s houses, tree-lined streets and the Santa Ana River
Just south of downtown Riverside, the Grand neighborhood’s tree-lined streets and midcentury houses call out to people looking for a quiet place to call home. This centrally located community is divided into undeveloped land and residential blocks, making it an ideal choice for those wanting to be close to the Jurupa Hills while staying within 2.5 miles of downtown. The neighborhood hills slope down to the Santa Ana River, and Mount Rubidoux Park is just a few miles away. “The Grand neighborhood is in a great location close to downtown. It’s by the Magnolia Center and Wood Streets neighborhoods, and Riverside Plaza is very close. Lots of people go there for groceries. There are nice parks and trails nearby,” says Crystal Coleman, a Realtor with Nest Real Estate with 15 years of experience.
Grand neighborhood offers many tree-lined streets.

Midcentury housing centrally located in Riverside
Homes in Grand were primarily built in the 1950s and earlier. An assortment of well-maintained homes, manicured lawns and palm trees give the area a nostalgic feel, and people tend to stay once they’ve become part of the community. That leads to only having a handful of houses on the market at once. The hilly terrain contributed to Grand’s irregular block shapes and interesting street patterns. “Grand has original housing from the 1950s, and there’s no one style. Midcentury, ranch-styles and bungalows are all there. Some have large lots, and it’s a stable housing market. Certain spots have mountain views, but if you’re living against the river bottom, you get views of both,” says Coleman. Homes sell for a median price of $610,000 after 19 days on the market, although the prices range from $600,000 to $700,000.

Locally owned eateries and nearby shopping centers
Azteca Market lies along Jurupa Avenue next to the neighborhood’s favorite pizza shop, Papa Joe’s Pizza. Azteca Market is a unique combination of a grocery store, ice cream shop and Mexican restaurant. This community go-to shop makes sweets like pan dulce in the bakery and hot plates in the deli. Papa Joe’s Pizza goes beyond traditional pies. It has popular Italian dishes like fettuccine Alfredo and manicotti alongside hot sandwiches, wings and gluten-free items. Across the parking lot, family-owned Solares Donuts makes pastries and freshly squeezed juices daily. The restaurant provides hungry guests with iced coffees, breakfast sandwiches and burritos. Nearby, Riverside Plaza has nearly 50 retail, restaurant and entertainment options. The Regal Riverside Plaza is a movie theatre offering plush seating, warm popcorn and the latest films. Big box retailers like Target or regional grocers like Stater Bros. Market are within five miles of Grand, and the community is just minutes away from the cultural attractions of downtown.

Grand residents are always near a park
Grand is known for green spaces in and outside the community. Mountain View Park contains a playground with swings, a basketball court and plenty of picnic tables. Ryan Bonaminio Park is a neighborhood sports complex with several baseball diamonds, basketball courts and open spaces for soccer or football. There are two playgrounds, and a large parking lot eliminates the hassle of street parking. Just outside the neighborhood, Martha McLean-Anza Narrows Park covers 40 acres along the Santa Ana River. It has picnic shelters and an 18-hole disc golf course. The Santa Ana River Trail is a paved hiking and biking path winding along the park's border. In fact, the park marks the landing place of the Spanish Anza Expedition that crossed the area in 1774. A plaque in the space’s northwest corner commemorates the historic event.

Car-dependent area near several freeways
Grand is a car-dependent area with a bus route along Jurupa Avenue. It leads to the economic hub of San Bernardino, around 14 miles away. Biking trails are nearby, but there are no bike lanes in the community, and sidewalks are sporadic throughout the subdivisions. Jurupa and Grand Avenues are significant neighborhood roadways, and California Highways 60 and 91 aren’t far away. The 215 Freeway, or Interstate 215, is five miles from the neighborhood. Riverside Community Hospital is less than two miles north, and the Ontario International Airport lies 15 miles northwest.

I noticed many homes look the same inside and out in the newer build areas, there is also little space for a back yard.
