Any Info On Sierra Del Oro, Corona? (Anaheim, Ontario: house, neighborhood)

[AppleTree1]

Hi Everyone,

Me and my husband are thinking about moving to sierra del oro in Corona. We currently live in Anaheim, California and I commute to Rowland Heights. If I take the 57s freeway to the 91e freeway to get home around 6pm and exit on green river road will the traffic on the 91e be terrible? If so is there another route?

My other question is what type of shopping is near sierra del oro...I found a ralphs and a sushi restaurant on the internet but not much else...Is everything more east toward 6th street?

If anyone has any more info on sierra del oro area I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

The area is nice but there is not much for shopping or dinning. As you mentioned there is a Ralphs, chinese and mexican restaraunt (don't like the mexican place), and a pizza parlor on Green River and Sefas Club. Other than that you will need to either got to Yorba Linda (Weir Canyon) or to the other end of Corona (Ontario Ave at 15 frwy or Cajalco Rd at the 15 frwy) for eateries. For shopping there is either the Tyler Mall (91 fwy at Tyler) or Dos Lagos shopping Center (15 fry on Temescal Cnyn - off at Cajalco Rd). I lived in the area for 10 years and the traffic on the 91 frwy is bad but getting off at Green River is much better than having to drive through the Corona Crunch you will need to use the fast track, especailly if you are driving alone. The only thing is that this can get really expensive, check out the toll fees at 91 Express Lanes. So you know there are side roads but they will only get you to Gypsum Canyon Road, form there to Green River there are no side roads that go through, the only way from there is the 91 frwy. I will admit I liked the area, but for me I was driving to LAX and back on a daily basis and it was too much for me after 10 years of doing that. I do not want to sway you into not looking into the area, only giving you some feed back. I would drive the area on your way home just to check out the traffic, and on the weekends drive the area during the day. This will at least give you and idea on the traffic and what is going on in the areas during the day. Also I don't know if you have any children, but I sent my oldest two to school there. My youngest I sent to private school because I didn't like the high schools in the area. Just some food for thought.

I wish you and your family the best on finding a location that suits you!!

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post. I will test the route after work one day to see if it will drive me crazy before making any decisions to move there.

Shops and restaurants nearby are important to me but I am glad there is at least a grocery place near by.

I don't have any kids yet but plan on them soon. Interesting to know about the schools in the area because that is important to me since I plan on staying at the house long term.

I prefer more developed areas but sierra del oro corona is more affordable. I guess I need to decide what is more important. Living in an area I like but in a smaller & much older house or living in an area that I don't like and having a larger newer house.

Thanks again for responding!

I recently moved here (Sierra Del Oro) and am very happy. I originally wanted to stay in Orange County, but the prices wouldn't allow us to buy what we wanted.

We contacted Cameron Novak at the Homefinding Center (also located in Sierra Del Oro) during our visit to the area. He was very knowledgeable about Sierra Del Oro homes, schools, shopping, etc. He lives in this neighborhood and has children attending Prado View elementary school and the Sierra Del Oro Montessori.

I encourage you to look into this neighborhood if you want a great place to live and raise your kids. Cameron was an exceptional person to work with in finding our home. If you don't have a Sierra Del Oro agent already, I would definitely suggest you call him or visit the Homefinding Center. I'll post his info below in case you need some help.

I can't remember the website, but I'm sure you can google it.

Good luck with your search,

Given the prices of Sierra Del Oro, I would consider Chino Hills -- Sierra Del Oro gets you a little more bang for your buck, but I would rather avoid the 57 like the plague. 91e is no picnic either, but I only do it from the 241/133 (from OC) to the 71. We looked at Sierra Del Oro when we were buying (3-4 months ago), and chose Chino Hills instead because there's a lot more stuff (shopping, eating, etc etc.) Sierra Del Oro is sort of in a bubble, not near Dos Lagos shops, and not near any other shopping/eating hubs really. The only thing it's got going for it is a great commute to OC -- but to Rowland area, not so much.
