Corona

Corona sits in a natural bowl ringed by hills, which is actually where the city's name comes from, the original circular grand boulevard laid out around the historic downtown was designed to resemble a crown. That older core still has genuine early-1900s homes on tree-established streets, while the vast majority of Corona's growth has come from tract development pushing outward through the decades, with South Corona in particular built up heavily from the 1990s onward into a sprawling collection of newer, larger homes on hillside and canyon lots.

The Santa Ana River runs along part of the city, and the surrounding hills give a lot of the newer South Corona neighborhoods real elevation and views, something that's helped that part of the city command a premium over the older, flatter sections closer to the 91 freeway. Corona has become one of the larger, more established cities in the Inland Empire specifically because of its freeway access, sitting along a major commuting corridor into Orange County that draws buyers looking for significantly more house than they'd get on the other side of the county line. People who live in Corona tend to make that tradeoff deliberately, accepting a longer commute in exchange for larger homes, newer construction, and lot sizes that don't exist anymore in most of Orange County.
