One-story ranch-style homes bear similar stylistic touches while offering expansive floor plans, allowing homeowners to take advantage of every inch of living space. Covered garages and modern amenities like roof-mounted solar panels are on the list of common household amenities shared by all single-family homes in Wildrose. Townhomes have similar designs and amenities, with the addition of community amenities like clubhouses, fitness centers and pool facilities. Most homes are just a short bike or car ride from excellent community parks, schools, shopping centers and major freeways. In terms of prices, the average home, single-family house or townhome, costs around $650,000 in Wildrose.

Public school students are served by the Corona-Norco Unified School District, attending primary schools like Temescal Valley Elementary from kindergarten through sixth grade. Students move on to intermediate and secondary institutions like El Cerrito Middle and Santiago High School. The latter high school has excellent athletic programs, including baseball teams that have graduated MLB players for teams like the New York Mets and the Milwaukee Brewers.

Nearby I-15 puts residents just a short distance from the Santa Ana Mountains, home to miles of picturesque hiking trails and notable peaks like the Saddleback Saddle, the two tallest peaks in the mountain range.

The neighborhood is primarily residential but offers proximity to excellent shopping centers.
