Proximity to shopping and schools between Corona and Riverside

Though La Sierra South was once developed around a tin mine, it is now home to several subdivisions in between the cities of Riverside and Corona. Residents can walk to area schools as well as the shopping center in the middle of the neighborhood. And the Metrolink train stop makes it easy to avoid the roads, but still get around Southern California with ease. Plus, “La Sierra South shares a border with Corona, so it’s a popular option for those who can’t afford Corona,” says James Monks, Realtor and Manager at Windermere Tower Properties and third generation Riversider. La Sierra South appeals to folks looking for affordability, commuter train access and convenient shopping and dining.

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.

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.

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.

I love living in Riverside. Everything we need is just a short drive away. Con of living here is the congested freeways but that is the same anywhere around here. I feel like Riverside is continuously growing and that it will continue to grow in the future.
