Dos lagos in corona (San Diego, Riverside: how much, home, to live in)

[tonyluna]

Does anyone have any insight on the Dos Lagos community??? My wife and I are thinking of relocating from the Seattle area to SO Cal and would like any info. I would be potentially working in Irvine and she would be working in Monrovia...... any insight would be much appreciated.

How much time do you really want to spend on the freeway?

I used to live in Corona and Dos Lagos is a growing place, and one of the better parts of Corona. However, it is not Orange County, and commuting to Irvine will be one of the same commutes that the rest of Corona will also be making every morning. Good luck!

I wouldn't mind spending 1 hour on the freeways...... do you think it would be more than that??

Unless you commute at 2am, yes.

It's about 40 minutes with no traffic. When you are moving at 10 mph, yes, it will be more than an hour. The 91 is bad, as is the 15 going that way in the morning.

I live in corona and have for 10+ years. Traffic on the 91 is horrific unless you like leaving for work at about 3am. The 15 traffic is reallly bad and has been getting worse over the last 4-5 years. I'm moving and leaving the state, I was born and raised here (40+ years) and this is not where I want to be .... stuck in traffic. Good Luck !!!!

Save your money my friend. Corona and the entire Inland Empire is a total armpit. The traffic is some of the worst in all of So.Cal, and the area has the most polluted air in the entire country with the most horrific smog you'll ever see. The sky is yellow/brown every single day. You can't even see the mountains hardly. Riverside County is notorious for it's thriving big population of street gangs. Move to Orange County or San Diego. 2 Area's that are much nicer and cleaner. The Inland Empire is just dirty in general and everday Summer temps of 100 deg or more. Ever walked on the surface of the sun? You will once you experience an I.E Summer

What area would you recommend??? My office would be located in Irvine and Im looking for a home about the same price range that I would pay in Dos Lagos.
