I have lived in both cities and now own a home in AH. whoever believes that it takes 10 max. to get from Wier Cyn. to Green River road either works the night shift or has an axe to grind with anaheim hills. By the way, its not the homes that make the difference in this community, its the people that live in them. Sorry, Corona, you lose.

5 miles means 5 min more driving east to green river..in traffic max 10 min...and for that some ppl would pay 300k more for the same house....300k means at least $2100 a month more for the same house...no wonder some ppl work all their lifes just to look good on paper.
BTW technically 92807 and 92808 are anaheim hills.

I totally agree. There are advantages to AH.....amazing schools, great neighborhoods, close to all amentities, and at least a 30 min shorter commute.
Corona seems like a big foreclosure mess with dead lawns, huge families living in mass all under one roof, pathetic schools, and terrible air pollution.
Sorry, Anaheim Hills has Corona beat. Frankly, Anaheim Hills has almost every area beat with the exception of perhaps Newport Coast and Villa Park.
You can't beat Canyon's API score, or El Rancho's or any of our elementary schools unless your in Irvine. And you can't beat the safety of our community.
Anyone who compares AH to Corona with a straight face is just living in a beach bubble. And I would LOVE to share some of the opinions the rest of the nation has about you guys in the beach communities. You guys dont exactly have the best reputation.
Anaheim Hills and Corona are VERY much alike. Sorry, but it's true. Anaheim Hills is only a few miles from Corona. The houses are pretty identical (with the exception of the upper most part of Anaheim Hills, but for the most part they have the same tract house styles). Both are safe areas with decent schools. API scores are better in Anaheim, but Corona has better programs (more IB/AP classes overall). The two are very very comparable.

Sorry, you have serious issues if you think Corona has anything on Anaheim Hills, Yorba Linda, Villa Park, North Tustin, or Orange Park Acres.
Thats like comparing Torrance and Newport Beach just because they are both beach communities.
I don't have serious issues, I just realize that two towns that are separated by a narrow canyon 2 miles long with the same housing developers logically can't be too dissimilar. If I somehow have "serious issues" for realizing that suburban sprawl between two county lines are similar, then there is no logic left. Okay let's look at facts:
Corona CA, has a population that far outnumbers Anaheim Hills. With that said, it ranks as an upper middle income with a median family income of $81,000 (Corona city, California - Fact Sheet - American FactFinder). Remember, bigger the population the closer to the national mean. Since it is further from the mean, it means that there is a higher percentage of people making higher than the national mean.
It is less than 5 miles apart. Sorry, but these two areas were built within the same time frame, (I know both really well. As I type I am in Anaheim Hills. I grew up in the IE, I know them both).
Your analogy of comparing two cities that are well over 50 miles apart is absurd. Use at least some logic. Even a little bit would work.
Again, they are not exactly carbon copies, but they share a lot of similarities. I don't see why it is hard to grasp that two suburban communities that are close geographically and socioeconomically share a lot in common.

Anaheim Hills average income was over $150K in 2005, making it 2nd in the county behind Villa Park (its southern neighbor). Yorba Linda comes in 5th in the county.
Its schools exceed Corona schools by a mile. The tests scores are far higher in Yorba Linda and Anaheim Hills than Corona schools are.
The only similarities that I see are that both neighborhoods were relatively built around the same time. Based on that, Corona is similar to Mission Viejo, Lake Forest, San Clemente, etc.
And Corona is 3 miles away from tip to tip, but nobody commutes tip to tip...it ends up being more like 10.....and on the 91 that is no easy haul (at least 45 minutes during rush hour).
People wouldn't pay the AH/YL prices they do if they could get the same exact thing in Corona. The fact is, if you live in Corona over OC foothills, your compromising good schools, safe neighborhoods, and manicured properties, and 45 extra minutes each day in the car.
For all its worth, Huntington Beach and Garden Grove are one in the same based on YOUR comparison!!!!!!!! They are both flat and they both have small 1960's homes! They MUST be identical right?
They are demographically similar. The schools in Corona don't exceed by a mile. More programs at Centennial High School than at Canyon High. Actually some schools are ranking evenly. Remember, you are comparing a city of 150,000 with a city of about 70,000 (Anaheim Hills and Yorba Linda together).
People pay these prices for a variety of reasons. Some want the proximity to the 55 to Irvine. Others believe are oblivious to the fact that they live in another ticky-tacky suburban subdivision and nothing special. Marketing blinds a person to logic.
Also, Huntington Beach and Garden Grove are demographically different. Parts of Garden Grove are similar to Huntington Beach, but if comparing the whole communities, they are quite different. So, no, it would not be similar based on MY comparison.
although I do enjoy your armchair demographic research, here are some real numbers and thematic maps which prove that Anaheim Hills is MUCH different than Corona. The Dark green is median income of over $110,000, Corona does not have a single blockgroup which falls under this category. Corona is a commuter community built for bargain hunters who don't mind the commute. Anaheim Hills is a community for business owners, CEO's etc...Its a much different makeup...Look at the education numbers (1 dot =10 bachelor degrees) Hopefully this clears things up for you THanks

Umm...I currently live in AH/YL area. Yeah, the differences are not that huge. The median income in 92883 (corona is 91k vs. 106k in 92808 and 92k in 92807). 92807 is "true" Anaheim Hills. If 1k is worth a home that is twice as much...then by all means. 92881 in Corona has a median income of 93k. So it could be that th data on this website is wrong, or that there are nice upscale parts of Corona that are cheaper with similar demographics. Look, granted, the entire city of Corona is not AH/YL...but there are parts equally as good. These two zip codes are examples of that. These two zip codes are cheaper than the OC, hence why I stated that AH is a little overrated. So not really "armchair", actual research and not based on heuristics of IE stereotypes.
