Corona, CA Real Estate Agent for Buyers & Sellers

Corona is known as the Circle City for Grand Boulevard, the roughly one-mile-wide circular road that rings its historic downtown. The city sits in western Riverside County against the Santa Ana Mountains and Cleveland National Forest, with Norco to the north, Riverside to the east and the Orange County line to the west. Neighborhoods near the circle and along Main Street have the oldest homes on traditional city lots, while most of the rest of Corona was built out from the 1980s through the 2000s.

For commuting, State Route 91 runs west into Orange County, and the 91 Express Lanes now extend into Riverside County as far as I-15, with the 241 toll road connecting just across the county line. I-15 runs north toward Ontario and south toward Temecula, and SR-71 heads to Chino and Pomona. Metrolink stops at two stations, Corona–North Main and Corona–West, on the 91/Perris Valley and Inland Empire–Orange County lines, and Ontario International Airport is a short drive up the 15.

South Corona and the Temescal Valley along I-15 hold most of the newer master-planned housing. Dos Lagos is built around a golf course, two man-made lakes and an outdoor shopping center, and Eagle Glen climbs into the foothills around its own golf club. Homes in these areas often carry HOA dues and Mello-Roos special taxes. North and west of downtown, Corona Hills and Sierra del Oro offer established streets and mature trees closer to the 91.

Most of Corona is in Corona-Norco Unified School District, with an eastern section served by Alvord Unified. Corona Regional Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente medical offices are in town. Outdoors, the Skyline Drive trail climbs into the Santa Ana Mountains, Glen Ivy Hot Springs is in the Temescal Valley, and Chino Hills State Park lies just to the northwest.
