Corona earned its nickname 'The Circle City' from Grand Boulevard—a perfect three-mile circular roadway. For homebuyers seeking unique vintage homes, space for RVs or workshops, and complete freedom from HOA boards, this is Corona's authentic core.
No homeowners associations telling you what color to paint your door, where to park your work truck, or how to landscape your front yard.
Homes frequently sit on 7,000 to 12,000+ sq ft lots with wide side yards, detached garages, long driveways, and room for boat/trailer parking.
Unlike cookie-cutter master plans, streets feature historic California bungalows, 1950s ranch estates, and custom infill builds with mature shade trees.
Because these are established, historic neighborhoods, there are no special assessment bonds or Mello-Roos fees. Your property tax rate sits at the base county standard (~1.1%).
When buying vintage properties, pay special attention to plumbing, electrical panels, and foundation condition. Many homes have already been modernized with updated kitchens and central HVAC.
Easy walking access to downtown Corona's local eateries, City Hall, community parades along Grand Blvd, and short drives to both the 91 freeway and 6th Street Metrolink station.
