My husband and two kids currently live in Portland Oregon and are strongly considering a move to Riverside Ca. We have visited there before and like the Orangecrest neighborhood. We are looking for information about the neighborhood, King High and the local economy. Any info would greatly help. Thank you!

I was raised in seattle and now live here in riverside. Orangecrest is a typical so cal subdivision neighborhood. Newer homes, not many trees, bigger houses, smaller lots, lots of middle class families. Not very much like portland. Not much character, no mountains (actually there a mountains, but they are behind the smog), not artsy. Personally, i would never trade portland for riverside. Is there a reason for the move?

We lived in Orangecrest for several years, and it has pleasantly built homes with plenty of reasonable shopping. The schools are crowded but solid, and King has a lot to offer. Could do worse in the Inland Empire.

Riverside sounds awesome! Portland has lots of character and art but too much rain, unfriendly people, and I can't find a good job (been looking for 7 months with a masters degree). I know some people like Oregon but its not for me. Thanks for your help!

If you love nature and out doors
You will hate this place
Crowded,,hot in summers
Lots are tiny
Although upper scale typically white and African American upper class citizens..
Base ball community..
Sort of snobby..
It's where people live to separate themselves from lower class..
Not my cup of tea so I trade for Oregon..
If you love side walks and concrete
It's a place for you..
But air condition Bill in summer will run 400$ with penalties..
Depends of what you want
It's mostly couples in mid 30's
Baby boomers..
I'm mid 40
Looking for nature and space..
Typically a safe neighbor hood
And king high school is great..
Although vape and smoking weed is the trend..not exactly to get good grades..but that's everywhere..
Rich kids parking lot with 40,000 dollar jeeps..
But hey overall good kids just trying to battle the future...
Most people live here are home owners.
My husband and teenagers like it..but I'm a cow girl at heart so just though with small space..
Good luck
