Corona — What Buyers Should Know

A Major OC Commuter City

Corona sits at the Riverside/Orange County line and is one of the most common landing spots for buyers commuting into OC via the 91 Express Lanes and SR-241 toll road. This commuter demand is a major driver of pricing, especially in South Corona.

Dos Lagos and South Corona Growth

South Corona has seen heavy master-planned development over the last two decades — Dos Lagos, Eagle Glen, Sycamore Creek, and Bedford all sit in this newer-construction corridor, generally commanding a premium over North Corona's older tract housing.
