Welcome to Rialto

Well, we happened upon Rialto because we, to be succinct, could not afford Rancho Cucamonga, which boasts the best schools, best places "for women", etc., Our realtor told us that you are really just paying for a zip code (in 2003). We looked at houses in Rancho. Nice, expensive. At that time,the same house in Rancho Cucamonga, compared to the house here would have cost, and I'm truthful, $75-100K more. 2 exits N on the 15 freeway. So why wouldn't we live here? This is a "culturally diverse" group. Hispanic, Black, White. All educated. We're in N. Rialto, just below the Cajon Pass. Look at a map. There is an entertainment venue which is one exit to our N. Everyone from Ozzie to Barry Manilow. Mountainous area just to our West. Moutain resorts just 20-45 minutes away. (Arrowhead, Big Bear, Mountain High) Negative: the wind blows steady for 2-3 months every year. I don't mean a nice refreshing breeze. It's like the Haunted Mansion. Forget about having a hair-do, or bringing a science project to your kid's classroom, having an outdoor event then, etc., ! Positive: N. Rialto has the lowest crime rate in all Rialto. (Sierra + Riverside. And as I write this, there is building going on like crazy to our S, N, and W going toward Fontana. Rialto PD is trying to improve the S. Rialto areas. We have responsible neighbors. Quite neighborhood. If you move here you'll learn about July 4th. Just go for it.
