thinking of moving to chino, are the state prisons a concern? anything else? (Chino Hills: lease)

[duaneyale]

my family and i are contemplating a move to chino (college park)? having a few state prisons there kinda worry me, should that be an issue at all? are there any thing else about this area that i should be aware of?? please advise

Chino is a family oriented city but the prison is literally right behind College Park community! I just got an email for a new home slashed below 400k. It would have to drop to 300 for me to even consider living so close especially with small kids.

The Smell Of The Cows Are Terrible ,in The Summer Time Flys Are Everywhere The Prices Of Houses Way To Much. Its Just My Thought

Cows and flys are rapidly disappearing, agree, housed are too much. Prisons I would have to think about, but it doesn't seem to worry many people.

It's a relatively safe city. Chino is next to Chino Hills, one of Southern California's nicest towns. Crime is actually below the national average.

chino prison has a siren for alerting neighbors: YouTube - Chino Prison Siren Test from hill

last time an escapee did significant harm was Cooper, way back in the 80's (85? or 84?)
Condemned Killer Spared , Cooper Won Stay Of Execution For 1985 Murder - CBS News

its not as bad as you think.

most escapee's just want to get the heck away from chino, they dont want to hang around for obvious reasons.

hello i live in chino and have for some time now but i caught wind about a year back that chino prison actually lost there lease and the heath department is all over them. i herd that they were closing in 2010 and moving everyone to the new prison they are bulding next to i believe it was corkrin prison. not sure how true it is but i know one thing i can say is that chino police are very quick on there response time the quickest out of ontario,upland,montclair, pomona and clairmont the flys are not as bad any longer they have really been less since they have moved alot of the dairys buit yes the smell is steel there but i am ok with it it s kinda at home lol probably cause i have been here since i was 12 anyways there you go

People seem to forget that where there's a prison, there's a million cops working there. In much greater numbers than in an average city.

I work in a Cali state prison (not Chino) and I'm constantly impressed with the officers there. I have yet to see an incident go down because they're so quick to put an end to it before it even starts.

Sorry but especially now that home prices are plummeting, there is no way in hell I would live in a homer , where if I was standing in my back yard I can see a prison tower. Hell no, especially with small kids. I already see homes in that new College Park community dropiing to the low 300s. Soon it will be 200s. Still not low enough for the risk.

The prisons are not a concern. They don't look like something out of a movie, they are modern and look like college campus'.
There are a heck of a lot more bad guys outside the walls, in any given town, than on the inside. The ones inside can't hurt you.
Chino is a great town. you will love it there....
