For an area that is 20-25 years old, it’s disappointing IMO.
My point is that there are other communities that were “created” +/- 20 years ago that are much nicer than Moreno Valley became.
By offering the cheapest housing, you attract ALL kinds, good and bad, and create a fringe area pretty quickly.
Phillips Ranch and Chino Hills were also created previously, and I think to this day that they are nicer family/quality of life areas than Sunnymead. They never offered “cheap”
I remember Orange County before Mission Viejo and Irvine built up. They are far older than Moreno Valley and I still don’t think that they have “nice areas and bad areas”
It’s a poor excuse to say “like every big city” and just except that there is no alternative lifestyle.
Just realize that if you want a larger house at the cheapest sq ft price around, rest assured that you aren’t the only one noticing that.
Into retirement years, I would be looking at a 55+ community with like minded people who want to enjoy their lives, and not take a chance on who the partying loud neighbors might be in a large “cheap” house.
Lake Elsinore was a fringe area 40 years ago, and it’s hard for me to think of it differently, even if they did add a Wal-Mart, Lowe’s, Home Depot and and Outlet Center (that you wouldn’t know existed if you didn’t drive by it)
