Between the mountains and the city
In Mission Grove, urban convenience meets suburban tranquility. Located seven miles from downtown Riverside and partially bordered by the Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park, Mission Grove is arranged around a shopping and dining center, with the neighborhood becoming more residential as locals travel away from the mall. It’s a newer neighborhood, as most homes were built in the 1980s and ‘90s. However, the area has been occupied for much longer, even taking its name from the historic Mission Inn that’s been operating since 1876 and the groves of citrus trees that once filled the area. It offers incredible views of the city and the San Bernardino Mountains. Niche has ranked it the city’s second-best neighborhood to live in or raise a family. It’s also the fourth-best neighborhood for young professionals. “It’s one of the most sought out areas due to its easy access to hospitals, shopping and the freeway. It sits at a higher elevation and has great views,” says Sam Othman, Realtor and team lead at Keller Williams Riverside Center with nearly 40 years of real estate experience. “One major attraction is the central location. You're an hour-and-a-half from the beach or the desert.”

Shopping centers, restaurants and grocery stores
Much of neighborhood life revolves around the Mission Grove Shopping Center. The 70-acre complex contains numerous retail stores, the Mission Grove Galaxy Theatre and an assortment of restaurants. The center is also home to Stater Bros. Markets and Sprouts Farmers Markets, two grocers who take pride in supporting the community. Cactus Cantina and Canyon Crest Winery are just two of the restaurants at the shopping center. Cactus Cantina serves Mexican-inspired dishes indoors or on the patio, while Canyon Crest Winery features locally made wines and exclusive varieties from around the world. On Alessandro Boulevard, The Rustik Fork features California-style cuisine made with local, organic seasonal ingredients, making every dish as fresh as possible.

Driving, riding and walking
Close to the 215 Freeway, personal vehicles aren’t the only way to get around the neighborhood. Bus routes travel down major thoroughfares like Trautwein Road, Alessandro Boulevard and Mission Grove Parkway. Luckily, there’s low traffic noise in the area. The neighborhood lies eight miles from the Parkview Community Hospital Medical Center and 20 miles from the San Bernardino International Airport. Sidewalks are mainly concentrated in the southern portion, including around the Mission Grove Shopping Center.

Small parks, huge preserves and a historic hotel
Taft Park rests at the edge of Taft Elementary School. It features a half-mile walking loop that takes people around the school and through the park. Local children love the playground, while adults and teenagers use the fitness equipment or tennis courts. Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park is adjacent to Mission Grove and features hiking trails and wildlife viewing. The nearly 1600-acre area is home to the endangered Stephens’ kangaroo rat, packs of coyotes and rattlesnakes, so locals know to be aware of their surroundings here. While not a park or botanical garden, Riverside’s historic Mission Inn has recreational options, too. Visitors can wander the grounds of this 1876 California Mission-style hotel or take one of the four daily guided tours. The Inn also hosts its annual Festival of Lights, one of the nation’s largest light displays, from late November through early January. “The Mission Inn is one of the most visited places in the city for the Festival of Lights. Ten thousand to 20,0000 people attend each year,” says Othman.

New housing with old styles
Mission Grove’s housing options include detached single-family houses, condos and apartment complexes. Developers chose designs like Spanish- or Mission Revival-styles to protect owners from the extreme desert temperatures with red-clay roof tiles and naturally insulating stucco walls. Tract houses in the northern part of the neighborhood allow residents to spread out and enjoy views of the mountains. In contrast, the more densely populated southern part combines condominiums, apartments and residential developments. “Right now, the housing is somewhat stable. We’re seeing homes stay a few days longer on the market, but home values have held up well,” says Othman. Homes sell in Mission Grove for a median price of $720,000 after 33 days on the market, which is shorter than the national average. Prices range from $400,000 to $925,000 for Spanish- or Mission Revival-style dwellings. “Mission Grove is a place where residents have peace of mind, great schools and good neighbors. People are proud of their homes here,” Othman says.
