Eastvale
One of California's newest cities (incorporated October 2010) — former Chino Basin dairy pasture converted into master-planned subdivisions with Eleanor Roosevelt High School as the Corona-Norco USD flagship
Why People Move Here
Eastvale is one of California's newest incorporated cities (October 1, 2010) and among the most thoroughly new-construction suburbs in the Inland Empire — essentially the entire housing stock was built between 2000 and 2020 on former Chino Basin dairy pasture once operated by Dutch and Portuguese dairy ranchers. Median home values run $871K (Zillow Feb 2026, -2.1% YoY) to $950K (Redfin Mar 2026, +2.7% YoY) — significantly above the broader Inland Empire norm, reflecting near-universal newer construction, master-planned amenities, and the Corona-Norco Unified draw anchored by Niche A-rated Eleanor Roosevelt High School. Commercial life is concentrated at three retail nodes: The Station at Eastvale + Goodman Commerce Center (Costco, 99 Ranch, Amazon, In-N-Out, Chick-fil-A), Eastvale Gateway, and the Limonite/Hamner dining corridor. There is no Metrolink station in-city — commuters drive ~10-12 min south to Corona–North Main (Metrolink's second-busiest station) or ~10-15 min north to Ontario–East. SR-91 Express Lanes handle the Orange County commute; the infamous 'Corona Crawl' peak delay is a well-known trade-off. Median household income is $160,069 (Data USA 2024), one of the highest in the Inland Empire.

When was Eastvale incorporated and what was there before?
Eastvale was officially incorporated on October 1, 2010 after Measure A passed with 65.8% voter approval on June 8, 2010, making it one of California's newest cities. Before incorporation (and as recently as the early 2000s), the area was predominantly Chino Basin dairy pasture operated largely by Dutch and Portuguese dairy ranchers dating to the late 1800s. Between the late 1990s and 2015, the dairies were systematically redeveloped into master-planned single-family subdivisions. The namesake 'Harada Heritage Park' ties to the Harada House National Historic Landmark in adjacent Riverside — a landmark of early-20th-century California civil rights history.
