Current Resident: My family and I have lived here for going on 6 years. It has been nothing but positive. Our community is quite, and friendly. We had on hiccup when all our halloween decorations were stolen, we had been shattered. It had been one of first halloweens here in chino Hills. The people are friendly, we had never expired any traumtic event in public. The communit comes together when there is a missing dog or if someone is in need of help. My mom bakes on the side and she recently baked goods for a retired people home. They sure did love her treats, and her company, she hopes to do that again one day. This commmunity is so helpful and amazing. I would like to see more changes in spirit around the city, I know it has to do with money but I believe it would look even more beautiful with an extra touch to keep our community memebers going. the cleaniness is great and I hope it stays that way!...

Former Resident: It is a lovely town , is considered a blue zone due to the longevity of the local population, excellent hospital , good stores with health conscience products as well as clean cosmetics with out toxins like parabens , or preservatives they don't eat meat so they don't have high low density lipoproteins (ldl) . There are green spaces to go to and commune with nature, the squirrles are just so cute and friendly. quite a few pine trees as well as fruit trees emitting clean air and supplying pine bark and pine needles to keep critters as well as people healthy. The fruit trees are varied from citrus varieties, persimmons, stone fruits like cherries, apricots, peach and nectarines along with peaches. gardening is fun and the climate is great for home grown veggies as the winters are mild it's quit satisfying to grow your own leafy greens, swiss-chard is very good for you, tasty and easy to grow in the cooler months so it thrives and provides nice large leaves. The hospitals excellant .... Read 108 reviews

Former Resident: I absolutely loved living in Redlands, CA. I went to High School there and loved the community. It is a beautiful part of the Inland Empire with gorgeous mountains at every angle and orange groves surrounding the city. Downtown is one of my favorite parts of Redlands' charm, as well as all of the historical aspects in that area. Overall, it was a wonderful place to grow up, make friends, and explore....

Current Resident: As a resident of Rancho Cucamonga, I can confidently say it's a fantastic place to live. The city offers a perfect blend of suburban charm and urban convenience. With beautiful parks, excellent schools, and diverse dining options, there's something for everyone here. The well-maintained neighborhoods and low crime rate provide a safe environment for families. Plus, the proximity to the mountains and outdoor recreational opportunities make it ideal for nature enthusiasts. Rancho Cucamonga truly embodies the essence of California living, and I couldn't imagine calling anywhere else home.... Read 642 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived in Chino for my entire life. I went to elementary, junior high, and high-school in this town. Chino is a very family-friendly city where everyone knows everyone. It is safe, clean and only a short commute to major socal cities. For example, San Diego, Los Angeles and Laguna. Overall, I would recommend Chino to anyone who enjoys the calm suburbs....

Other: Living in Fontana has been fulfilling, offering a sense of community and comfort. The city's welcoming neighborhoods and diverse amenities make it a great place to call home. Additionally, the schools in the area feel safety and quality education, providing parents with peace of mind and ensuring a bright future for their kids. Fontana boasts an abundance of well-maintained public parks, providing residents with ample opportunities for recreation and relaxation. However, the constant construction poses challenges, disrupting daily life with noise, dust, and traffic. While I appreciate the need for progress, I hope to see more efficient planning and coordination of projects. With thoughtful urban planning, Fontana can maintain its appeal as a great place to live while minimizing disruption.... Read 808 reviews

Current Resident: Ontario, overall as a city, earns a positive review. The city has recently been expanding and revamping/improving in various manners, such as house/apartments constructions and street reconstruction. This has allowed for the city to gain an influx of diverse citizens, create a multitude of available jobs, introduced new shopping markets, and leveled out issues with traveling/commutes. Ontario also features a local airport, with reduces costs and makes traveling much more accessible. Safety and cleanliness is also highly noted.... Read 550 reviews

Current Resident: Considering that I live in an intersection of two very busy streets, it could be better. Almost every week there is a major car accident when I look out of my backyard so it's a little scary knowing that that could be me. A bus stop is behind my house so if I ever need to go anywhere, I can take a quick bus trip. I would consider my neighborhood family friendly and even cat friendly because there's an abundance of them here. Even though there are accidents here and there and the wind blew our trash bins away, it's home. It's where my family lives and it's a place that a lot to offer. From big parks to the bargain market a block away I wouldn't change Rialto in any way.... Read 308 reviews

Current Resident: It has good living areas, sadly homelessness is a big problem and city officials have not find the solution to this serious issue. Security is also a concern, my feeling is that the Police Department is understaff and are overwhelmed by the larger population size! Again, City Officials need to work harder on making San Bernardino City a better place to live!... Read 233 reviews
