My overall experience at Ontario California has been great! I am beyond happy that I moved here. I used to live in Los Angeles so I have seen a huge difference between both cities. Ontario is very calm, clean and united. There are many events that bring the community. I love the annual car shows that are hosted here. This city is very beautiful. It was huge malls such as the Ontario Mills. There are many great schools here as well. I would like to see more events similar to the current ones.
It’s very saddening and heartbreaking to know that out of 100,000+ cities in the United States Ontario, California is in the top 20 actually number 14way above Las Vegas which is one of the most visited and lived in cities in the United States.As a homeowner in the community. I’m very saddened to hear this. We need to clean up our community so we could be proud of where we live. The freeway area is 60 at Euclid 60 at grove 60 at Vineyard are despicable. They have been this way for quite a few years. The roads are very hazardous to drive on chuck hole everywhere. We really need to be concerned about the rating that we’ve been given and try to make things better for ourselves, I feel if the politicians that are in office at this particular point can’t be more productive about what they’re doing with our city we can definitely hire people that will please take this into consideration so that we don’t feel so unworthy of what’s happening with our city
Ontario is a welcoming city. I have grown up in it, and my neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. The shopping centers have all the necessities and almost everything is nearby. Most homes are in great condition and there is immense curb appeal at every corner. The community is sweet and tight-knit. The public schools all seem to intertwine as students mingle and interact, strengthening that sense of unity.
Ontario has always been a safe place for me, greenery is in every yard and makes the soul relax. Furthermore, the community is diverse and appreciative of all cultures, this is especially prominent in the schools.
Job opportunities are everywhere, from the Little Caesar's down the block to the 99 cent store.
Overall, this city is an ideal place for any kid to experience their childhood in.
