Hillside living on the outskirts of Hemet
At the eastern end of Southern California's Inland Empire, Valle Vista is a semi-rural suburb with home prices similar to those in neighboring Hemet, but with a quieter, more residential vibe. Established in 1887 as a farming community in the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains, the town's name means “valley view” in Spanish. There are still some farms here today, but most residents commute to Hemet—home to more than 300 tech companies—or farther afield to Riverside or San Bernardino. Valle Vista is set right on State Route 74 (also known as Florida Avenue), and is within 25 miles of both Interstate 215 and state Route 60.
Pine Cove welcomes furry friends and is a dog-friendly community.

Mixing new and established homes
Valle Vista's median home price is about $454,000, on par with Hemet’s $453,000. Near the junction of Florida Avenue and Route 79, manufactured homes are common; those built between the early 2000s and today range from $250,000 to $300,000, while 1980s fixer-uppers range from $100,000 to $200,000. Farther from the highways, ranch-style and Spanish Revival homes are set around cul-de-sacs. “It’s a mixed area. You have your smaller, older homes close to the intersection, and when you push out south you have custom homes against the orchards,” says Vivian Arias, Hemet-based Realtor with Brubaker-Culton Real Estate and Development. Custom homes are the area's most expensive options, ranging from $600,000 to $700,000.
