La Sierra South

Neighborhood includes a gated community
Cul-de-sacs lined with tidy sidewalks and palm trees are lined with detached single-family ranch-style homes. Many homes also reflect Spanish sensibilities, with stucco siding and earth-toned tile roofing to protect residents from the region’s high temperatures. Many homes feature expansive patios and yards that can accommodate gardens and family cookouts. Prices range from about $540,000 to about $790,000. Within the neighborhood, Riverwalk Vista is a gated community that has an active homeowner’s association. The western portion of the neighborhood contains some manufactured homes, which range from about $70,000 to about $170,000.Alvord Unified School District
La Sierra South is part of the Alvord Unified School District, which serves Corona and other nearby communities. Within the neighborhood are Alan Orrenmaa Elementary, rated C-plus on Niche, Arizona Middle, rated B-minus and Hillcrest High, rated A-minus. Hillcrest High offers free dual enrollment with Riverside City College and Norco College. La Sierra University, 2 miles away, is increasingly popular with international students, while California Baptist University, 4 miles away, offers a D1 athletic program.Enjoying the outdoors
There isn’t a wide selection of neighborhood parks in La Sierra South, but residents may walk to the centrally located Riverwalk Vista Pavilion. It features a small playground and an outdoor pool, which has two lanes for swimming. Less than 4 miles away, nature lovers enjoy the views at California Citrus State Historic Park, which doubles as a living museum. Locals can learn more about the area’s agricultural history by taking a guided tour among the fruit trees.Shopping and dining at Nexus Town Center
Right in the center of La Sierra South is Nexus Town Center, which has regional grocery stores like Ralph’s and Stater Bros. Markets. For those who crave a breakfast pastry or a post-shopping pick-me-up, Rainbow Donuts is located beside Nexus Town Center. Right off the Riverside Freeway, Green Taco serves spicy avocado burritos and other Mexican dishes. Additionally, La Sierra South “has been redeveloped and attracted new grocery stores and retail on the western edge,” Monks says. This includes chain stores and restaurants like Vons and Gen Korean BBQ House.Regional commuter train reduces car traffic
La Sierra South makes it easy to get around. Many homes are within walking distance of neighborhood schools and the Nexus Town Center. Victoria, Indiana and La Sierra Avenues contain bike lanes, and there are several bus stops along Magnolia Avenue. The Metrolink train stop in La Sierra South connects residents to six Southern California counties. Kaiser Permanente Riverside Medical Center is right across the freeway. Ontario International Airport is about 19 miles away.What to do for fun
Between the bowling lanes, arcade games and pub fare, fun for all ages can be found at Bowlero Riverside. And just across the freeway is Castle Park, a carnival-style amusement park and more cost-friendly option than Disneyland in Anaheim. Just a mile away is the Galleria at Tyler, a shopping center with an ice skating rink and a movie theater.A note on wildfires
The chance of a wildfire occurring is less than 1%, but wildfires are a more present danger in La Sierra South compared to the rest of the country.
