Corona puts homeowners close to LA for a fraction of the cost
The Riverside County town of Corona offers commuter convenience to Los Angeles and Orange County, but costs a whole lot less than either. “With single-family homes averaging $700,000,” says Realtor Jose Sepulveda of RE/MAX, “Corona is a relatively affordable version of Southern California. You’ll encounter the usual rush-hour traffic on the 91, and you’ll have to go to Riverside for some real nightlife, “Sepulveda continues, “but right at home you'll have a low crime rate, great weather and tons of parks.” About 50 miles northwest of Los Angeles, right at the junction of the 91 and 15 freeways, Corona is 15 miles west of Riverside and 22 miles east of Orange County’s Anaheim. Once dubbed “the lemon capital of the world,” Corona today is home to headquarters for Fender and Monster Energy, with easy access to hiking trails in the Corona Mountains.

Midcentury and Mediterranean homes at lower costs than in LA
That Corona home averaging $700,000 is likely to be either midcentury ranch-style or midcentury modern with three or four bedrooms on a mid-size lot. With larger lots and layouts, Mediterranean-style homes from the 1980s and ‘90s average $800,000. Attached town house condos from the mid-’80s average $550,000, plus a $260 monthly HOA; and in a handful of mobile home parks — both 55-plus and all-ages — two-bedroom units average $200,000.

Personally, My job field is social services and I haven't found all that many. I feel if you are leaning toward business, marketing or any other field it is well established in Riverside/Corona area and is great for jobs. However in my field is still growing and there is a lot of room for expanding social services in teens, young adults and children.

Corona is a wonderful city. It is not bustling and crowded like the city of New York, yet it is not completely empty and deserted. It is a perfect balance. Corona is also relatively safe. Though many get bored of its lack of tourist attractions, I enjoy the peace and quiet nature of Corona and consider it a valuable characteristic. Corona is loaded with a myriad of parks and is very family friendly.

I've lived in Corona for the past 17-18 years. The city is very diverse and has taught me a lot as I grew up. Some of the public schools are fantastic and have STEM, IB, and honors programs. The city has lots of stores and restaurants, but there is not much to do. there are a lot of parks, splash pads, movie theaters, etc., but not much for teen/young adult crowd. A downside of the city is the traffic that comes from the 91 freeway. Some lucky days it take 15-20 minutes to get to orange county, others it takes an hour or more. The traffic has gotten bad as the did construction on the freeway, but has gotten better over the year. overall, good, family-friendly city.
