Why We Live in the Inland Empire

September 18, 2007

Inland Southern California, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, is a great place to live! I remember when we moved here in 1967 and I knew nothing about the area, my first view of the great vistas of valleys and mountains was really quite breathtaking. I remember writing to my former neighbors in Rocky River, Ohio that this must be the most beautiful place in the world.

Situated approximately one hour from the highest mountains of southern california, one hour from the desert and one hour from the beach, you can choose your recreational activities.

Each community offers different amenities and their present residents have found niches that suit their personal lifestyle. They often develop a true love for the area and that love translates into an involved citizenry.

Yes, our real estate markets have their ups and downs, but for those who do not need to sell and can stay in their homes, the values return and over time do increase. Fear often prevents folks from buying, but those who have and were able to weather the down times have reaped the benefits - both in the enjoyment of their own home and in the build up of equity.
