range, and lifestyle appeal. The main areas you’ll hear about are South Corona, North
Corona/Corona Hills, Sierra del Oro, Eagle Glen, Dos Lagos, Downtown Corona, and the 55+
community of Trilogy at Glen Ivy. Whether you’re looking for a new construction home in a
master-planned community or a craftsman bungalow near historic Grand Boulevard, there’s a
neighborhood in Corona that fits your vision.

South Corona
South Corona is the most popular destination for families relocating to the city. This part of
town features newer, master-planned communities with modern open-floor-plan homes,
well-manicured streets, and top-rated schools in the Corona-Norco Unified School District.

Best for: Families with kids, buyers who want newer construction, those who want walkable
neighborhoods with parks

Considerations: Many communities include Mello-Roos taxes; summer heat can be more intense
with less ocean breeze

Schools: Some of CUSD’s highest-rated schools are in this area
Nearby: Shops, parks, and close to the 15 freeway
South Corona is also the safest part of the city by most crime metrics — the southwest
neighborhoods report the lowest crime incidents in all of Corona.

Sierra del Oro
Sierra del Oro sits in the western hills of Corona, closest to the Orange County border. It’s the
go-to neighborhood for commuters working in Irvine, Anaheim, or other OC cities.
Best for: OC commuters, professionals, buyers who want hillside views

Highlights: Beautiful views, well-kept homes, quick access to the 91 freeway and Green River
Metrolink station
Considerations: Smaller lot sizes compared to South Corona; traffic on the 91 can still be heavy
at peak times

Sierra del Oro is often described by residents as “the best of both worlds” — Corona’s
affordability with Orange County proximity.

Eagle Glen
Eagle Glen is one of Corona’s most upscale neighborhoods, wrapped around a golf course with
views of both the mountains and the fairways. Homes here are larger, streets are wide and
manicured, and there’s a prestigious, established feel throughout.

Best for: Move-up buyers, golf enthusiasts, those wanting prestige without LA prices

Highlights: Golf course community, mountain views, proximity to Dos Lagos shopping
Considerations: HOA fees apply; larger homes mean higher property taxes and upkeep

Dos Lagos
Dos Lagos is both a neighborhood and a lifestyle. Built around a series of man-made lakes, this
master-planned community puts residents within walking distance of Corona’s premier outdoor
shopping and dining center — also called Dos Lagos.

Best for: Buyers who want walkability, lake views, and easy access to upscale dining

Highlights: Walkable to restaurants and a movie theater, stylish modern homes
Considerations: Smaller yards; some homes back up to commercial areas or main roads

Historic Downtown Corona
Downtown Corona is built around Grand Boulevard — the iconic circular road that once earned
the city the nickname “Circle City.” You’ll find character-filled craftsman homes, bungalows, and
ranch-style properties that you simply won’t find in South Corona’s newer developments.

Best for: Buyers who want character, history, and a walkable urban feel

Highlights: Unique architecture, Grand Boulevard loop, proximity to city events and the Arts
Colony
Considerations: Older homes may need more maintenance; school ratings vary — research by
specific address
