What BestPlaces Users Say about Corona
Corona, California is a city located in Riverside County with a population of over 160,000 residents. It is known for its warm climate, parks, and close proximity to major cities like Los Angeles and San Diego. However, like any place, it has its pros and cons. According to data from BestPlaces, the cost of living in Corona is higher than the national average, with housing being the biggest contributor. In this context, let's take a look at what people have to say about living in Corona through various user reviews on BestPlaces.
Some user reviews on BestPlaces mention the high cost of living in Corona, including James who says, "Corona is a beautiful town but the cost of living is ridiculously high for what you get." Another user, Jessica, echoes this sentiment by stating, "The cost of living is a bit high, especially when it comes to housing. It's difficult to find affordable options." On the other hand, some users like Maria appreciate the amenities the city has to offer, saying "The cost of living may be high but you get what you pay for. There are plenty of parks, restaurants, and activities for families to enjoy."
Traffic is also a common theme in the user reviews, with different experiences being shared. For example, John mentions, "The traffic is unbearable during rush hour. It can easily take an hour to go a few miles." However, William shares a different perspective, saying "The traffic is not too bad compared to other cities in Southern California. Plus, there are plenty of alternate routes to avoid the main highways."
Safety is another aspect that is mentioned in the user reviews. While some people like Rachel feel safe living in Corona, stating "I've lived here for years and have never felt unsafe," others like Sarah have a different experience, saying "The crime rate is high, and I've had multiple incidents of theft and vandalism in my neighborhood."
Overall, the user reviews on BestPlaces paint a mixed picture of living in Corona. While some appreciate the amenities and pleasant climate, others are put off by the high cost of living and traffic. It's clear that there are both positive and negative aspects to living in Corona, and ultimately, individual experiences may vary.

Too Crowded - 11/18/2017
Corona has been a great city to live in the past 15 years. It had a small town feel to it. With the reconstruction of the 91fwy it has made our cross town street into a small and congested highway. Also the current building of hundreds of houses and apartments is adding to the congestion of the city. It takes an hour in the morning just to get on the freeway. The new housing and freeway have greatly diminished the quality of life for people living in Corona. Other than that... the schools are good and people are

Great Place to live. - 2/22/2011
My husband and I moved here about two years ago. We're very Happy here,we live in 92882 area of South Corona. This area to me is like a city with a small town feel,the area is safe, clean, family oriented, with lots of schools, churches and parks,there are also multi-million dollar homes in the area (up to 8 Million), fun places like "Dos Lagos" which is an outdoor shopping (Anthopologie, Z Gallerie, Victoria's Secret, Bebe, etc)center with upscale and casual restaurants, movie theatre and a Gorgeous man made lake shaped like a figure 8 which has an artistic walking bridge made of bamboo that leads to an amphitheare (free plays,musicians). There's also "Caljalco Crossing" which is also a shopping center but this one has Target, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Pierone, Costplus, Bestbuy, Barnes & Noble, Edwards theatre, etc), it also has a Huge, Gorgeous water fountain with benches around it. All in all there are lots to do here, one can go to Temecula (Wine Country) to visit wineries, have

not the place for me, but maybe for you - 10/5/2010
I was born and raised in Corona and didn't move away until I was 21. It's a 2 season place: Summer and Not-summer. Most of the summer it is in the 90's and it regularly gets over 100 degrees, especially in July-September but it is a dry heat. Stepping outside an air-conditioned house or car during those days is comparable to the burst of hot air you feel after opening an oven. It's no Phoenix, AZ or Las Vegas, NV... but its still friggin hot and miserable. Not-summer is nice because it's not summer. Nothing special about it, you just don't have to drive to the beach or mountains to be comfortable outdoors.
Expect lots and lots of sunshine. The "storms" as the weather guys call it are usually pretty laughable if you've experienced real weather. If you're tired of winter and can't afford to live on the CA coast, the Corona area might work for you. If you're like me and enjoy 4 seasons, stay

We moved here from the Midwest 5 years ago. What an improvement in weather! Don't miss shoveling, no sun for months, and mosquitoes in the humid summers! Traffic is the downfall, but still worth the

Wonderful City to live! - 10/24/2008
I moved here to Corona from a city in Los Angeles county called West Covina. When moving here I noticed much difference from the city I used to call "home". I moved out here when I was 17 just to get away from things and having a great job making well over 80k a year at that age was perfect. So I found a very nice apartment and got to know the area very well. For a town I knew little about. I saw that Corona officials and City Council move very rapidly at building and fixing things. The city is comprised mostly of Higher Class Republican individuals who moved here from mostly Orange County cities but also love it. It is often said to be the "Beverly Hills of Riverside County". I can tell you since moving here things have just got better for myself. Since it's the closest Inland Empire city to Orange County and a half hour drive to Beach Cities there is a lot of money you can make. The city is filled with BMW's, Mercedes, Jaguar, Roll's Royce, and have even seen a few Bugatti Veyron's
