A centrally located residential community with citriculture
Four miles from downtown Riverside, Hawarden Hills is a secluded, planned community in the city's heart. Formerly citriculture land, small orange groves still exist here. Gage Canal bisects the neighborhood and was constructed to bring water to the citrus farms in the area. "There are lots of areas with open rolling hills left over from when it was undeveloped, and there's still some active agriculture," says Ryan McKee, a Realtor with McKee Real Estate Group with 16 years of experience and a lifelong Southern California resident. McKee also mentions Hawarden Hills’ community feel: "If I were to go to the dentist and brought up a name, there's a good chance there'd only be one or two degrees of separation between us!" The main thoroughfare, Victoria Avenue, is on the National Register of Historic Places, and the quiet, well-maintained neighborhood boasts views of the surrounding rugged terrain. The Cap Index score is 2 out of 10, half the national average.

Established housing, planned communities and winding streets
Built primarily from the 1970s through the 1990s, the neighborhood’s Spanish-inspired houses and contemporary designs are carefully incorporated into the environment, and owners are encouraged to use eco-sustainable landscaping, if possible. The hilly area led to unusually shaped subdivisions and winding street patterns. “Most of Hawarden Hills is a planned community by custom builders. It sits on the city and county line, so there’s a more rural feel, but it’s close to all the city’s amenities. People can find estate-like homes and a good school district. Poly High is well-respected. Lots of homes have pools, and some have tennis courts. Most properties will have views of the mountains,” says Molly Silva-Gurrola, a third-generation Realtor with Modern Dwellings Real Estate Company with 26 years of experience. “It’s a very established part of Riverside, and people can raise a large or multi-generational family there. Almost all the homes are over 3,000 square feet. There’s an older section where houses can start at around $300,000 and a newer part that is around $1 million or more in price.” Homes sell for a median price of $935,000 after 38 days on the market. Condos and townhouses range from $500,000 to $625,000, while custom ranch-style homes begin around $500,000 and continue to $935,000. Estates and villas range from more than $1 million to $2.5 million, depending on the lot size and subdivision.

Nearby shopping, dining and farmers markets
Hawarden Hills was planned to be a haven from the bustle of life, so there are no shopping or dining options in the community. However, the adjacent Victoria neighborhood has grocery stores like Stater Bros. Market and large retailers like Target. There are breakfast options at Yum Yum Donuts or traditional Mexican seafood options at La Cruda Mariscos. The area is also close to Arlington Heights, a neighborhood in Riverside’s Green Belt. Farm stands and markets like Corona Farms Fresh Produce allow people to get fresh fruit and vegetables that were picked that morning. Gardeners can get their own fruit trees and produce plants in Arlington Heights, too. "There are a lot of nurseries in that area, so instead of going to Home Depot or Lowe's, you can get your plants more locally sourced," McKee says.
Stater Bros offers a wide selection of quality products for Hawarden Hills' residents.
