CoronaZip.com is the home of all that you could want to know about Corona, California, whether you're planning to live and work in the city or are just stopping by for a visit. As a member of Riverside County, Corona is close to the ocean but not right next to it. This means that while the real estate here does not have the same beachfront views and consequently high price tags, you can still enjoy the same pristine weather conditions and live only a short commute from the Oceanside amenities. Many young and educated families from a variety of ethnic backgrounds are now choosing to make Corona their home.

The city is designed for the active resident in mind. There are nearly four hundred acres of parkland for those who enjoy hiking and a number of sports fields, public pools and tennis courts and two skateboard parks within the city limits. Attractions like the Fender Museum are great for the whole family and help to enrich the culture and character of the city. There are nearly 150,000 residents currently living in the city but only about 82,000 work here. That means that a large percentage of the population sees the city's great potential as a bedroom community for those who work in the nearby metropolises but don't wish to live there.

The cost of living in Corona is 111. This is higher than the national average of 100 but is significantly lower than the other cities in the area. The median home value is also low compared to neighboring communities, currently sitting at about $320,000. For the same home you could pay as much as $200,000 more when getting closer to the ocean and closer to Los Angeles.

The best houses and Corona's most affluent residents live in the 92881 area code in the southeastern side of the city. Real estate in the city comes in a variety of styles but many currently on the market are the typical 3-4 bedroom two-storey design. There are plenty of planned neighborhoods within the city and those looking for a home with shutters and a two-car garage will definitely be in luck. The more unique designs come with the older houses. The public library and Corona High School sit as two of the most historically significant pieces of real estate in the area and show the city's age.

For those looking to live a California life in the suburbs, there are few places where you could do better on the average American family salary than in Corona. It's the blue-collar city with white-collar views.
