A suburban community minutes away from Riverside and the Inland Empire
Known as “The Blue Mountain City” for the wild blue lupines that carpet the Blue Mountain in spring, Grand Terrace is a small city just outside Riverside with proximity to highways, schools, hospitals and area parks. “This [community] has a very convenient location; it is close to the Inland Empire, Riverside County, the University of California Riverside and Loma Linda University, and the location contributes greatly to the area’s rental value,” says Pam Xu, Realtor and broker at Sunpride Realty with 10 years of experience serving the greater Southern California region. “Many first-time homebuyers and people looking for retirement homes like to consider this community because the homes are more affordable compared to neighboring Riverside neighborhoods, and one can find houses that are less than 3,000 square feet.”
