If you're daydreaming about buying a spacious and affordable home in California, it might be easier to make it a reality in the Inland Empire. Nicole Comstock reports.
Unless you work from home, you better have a job nearby. The traffic and commuting is extremely bad, and its getting worse. I think it's great for some people to move out there, but its not for everyone. And now it's getting expensive! Ontario Ranch is pushing $1M for a 4 bedroom home these days.
I moved to the I E at age 3. Was raised here. In 2008 I bought a home in Northern San Bernardino. I love the soil here its perfect for growing citrus and flowers and is close to everything. I LOVE my city
Buy in IE only if you have a full intention to make it your home for the long haul. Do not ever think of buying in IE as an investment. Do not ever trust your realtor. I say it because I appraise properties in IE.
@maximsantacruz3941 im from LA bought in SAn berdo 2 years ago all my neighbors wer white about 5 of them have moved out of state and all the new buyers have been Hispanic young couple from LA amd OC its crazy
No problem with people from Orange County moving out to I.E. the problem is people from L.A. county bringing their crime, gang activity and sidewalk taco stands with them.
💯 % agree, and those taco stands are unsanitary!! I cannot believe those are allowed on the streets, yet restaurants have to pass inspections by health inspectors!!
1970s it's where you could buy a home if you didn't make much money. That changed in the 80's when interest rates became murder, but the area was so boring and dead end, property costs were still low. I imagine at this point with malls, museums, attractions, access to cool mountain communities, it's getting nicer and nicer there, but more and more crowded. Grew up there, starting in 1976.
Travel some time. It's easy to crap on how "horrible" the USA is. Then talk to people in nations around the world. They DREAM of moving into one of those "crappy homes". I'm not arguing with you, Lennar, KB, other major builders, they build them as cheaply as they can get away with and then slap lipstick on them. But it's FAR WORSE on average everywhere else, or at best, it's around as good as. Setting aside any place where the ultra wealthy create enclaves.
I knew this back in 2013. I made the move and now i have acquired about 600K in equity. I bought a home back then that would have cost me about 2 million in L.A. worth it. I did as i was able to work from home. Best decision I've made on a home.
@@mikeg3728 Not quite. San Diego County, L.A.County ate much more expensive than San Bernardino County. Riverside County is more than San Bernardino County, but a bit less than L. A. and San Diego County. The 10, 210, 15, and 215 provide easy access to LA and San Diego Counties , but it's pretty congested for morning and afternoon drive.
@@mikeg3728 No need to apologize. San Onofre nuclear power plant is on the San Andreas fault, too. If you ever have a chance to watch a 3-part series "The Making of a Continent", do so. It explains so much.
2 bedrooms in East Los Angeles start at $725,000!!! Realtors want more commission so they pushed the prices higher. True facts there was a big lawsuit no one’s talking about.
Realtors have no control over home prices. Price appreciation is out of control but it’s not because of realtors. It’s the home appraisers just agreeing to the price insanity and over-valuing homes when they come to appraise. There needs to be a law put in place where the appraiser is not allowed to be privy to the offered made on the home so they eliminate that bias mentality
The reason lots of people are made to live all the way out in IE is because of Exclusionary Zoning in Los Angeles and OC. Exclusionary Zoning makes it impossible to build more homes on just about every parcel of land in the city. As a result people need to live further and further away from their workplace which is horrible for the environment.
lived in the IE and regretted it. You get mroe footage but at the cost of higher crime rate, smog, longer commute and mediocre schools. Not to mention, major shopping centers are sparse and require a day trip.
I have a friend who moved that way and drive to work for over 2 hours everyday if you dont mind that go for it if uts a problem atari in LA and get less for your buck
Yikes, that area is only a place to drive thru while on the way to Palm Springs. Awful terrain, ugly area, high crime. San Bernardino, Banning, Beaumont...need I say more...
@@josephaugello1527 Can't be any worse than here in LA. Palm Springs is a far cry from life here. I mean, what do you consider "high?" High crime in the city of Palm Springs? It can't be worse than San Bernardino, meth capital of the world.
Banning, Beaumont are not the IE, those cities are too far east.. The IE is a huge area, there is an area just north of Moreno Valley that is extremely nice and upscale and most parts of the city of Riverside are decent.. Not all of the IE is ghetto... Palm Springs is no longer a glamorous playground for Hollywood's elite. Ever since the Pandemic the entire Coachella Valley has seen its crime rate increase, more homeless people and more of the basketball people coming into the Valley from being displaced from other states... That being said, Palm Springs still has some posh left especially when it comes to those mid century modern houses starting at $1 million dollars and up. The area still has luxury resorts, good shopping that doesn't include Walmart. Casinos, and major music and sport events yearly. The area's low income area has houses starting at $450k which is Desert Hot Springs and houses can go as high as $750k in DHS.. I've seen $15 million+ dollar houses in Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage and in Indian Wells. A 500sq ft condo in Palm Springs can run as low as $500k to as high as $1.2 million.. Electric bill in the summer is usually around $300 per month for 5 months (late May until Oct). Its not cheap to live in Palm Springs plus there are no jobs outside of hospitality and retail. At one time there was suppose to be a huge cannabis manufacturing industry coming to the area but that is no longer the case.. Nice place to visit from November to early May but I wouldn't settle there. P.S., I forget that Disney has under construction a massive park and planned housing in Palm Desert.. If it weren't for the hot weather in the summer, I think the Coachella Valley would have the potential to be the next San Fernando Valley.
@@josephaugello1527 Yes, I know.. In the 1960s the Valley started to incorporate various cities into the city of Los Angeles.. Most people think the Valley is a suburb of Los Angeles, I tell them its not. The Valley has the same mayor and police force as Los Angeles because it is Los Angeles.
Let's see Irvine or Norco. Hard pass on California altogether. Moved out in 1999 and never looked back. I have the Mariott Residence Inn in Irvine when I need a place to stay. OC has everything my family needs and wants to do when we spend time in California.
I think she means that there are parks in every neighborhood, spacious sidewalks, and new schools. You see kids here riding their bikes to and from school because, unlike LA, we do not have crack zombies living on the sidewalks.

Main concern is jobs… the commute is gonna kill you!
Horrible to commute in and out of there. The 210 E and W is just garbage starting at 5 pm (sometimes earlier).
Or they can take the train.
@@Lulusvideos1
But the trains are inconsistent, and has a long way to improve.

fair enough. Strong latino market in the IE tho the new generation could think differently but wouldnt put my money on it

There's no good paying jobs out here. Just a bunch of warehouses!
And public transit to OC is not all that great.
Please stop sending people to the IE, we have enough here already!! All the LA mess coming out here!!

Vote republican then
I like street tacos lol
@@user-xr4lb4pk5b I like tacos too but they gotta come from a food truck not a sidewalk. Lol
The taco stands are third world
This is the same thing that happened in the early 2000s. It was the “drive til you can buy” idea

Crappy Cookie cutter homes where you can smell and hear your neighbor fart, these arent homes these are actual luxury apts

That’s everywhere and it depends on the city, many are older homes.

Because it's cheap housing and relatively easy to commute--at least until the San Andreas lets go.
That applies to most of So-Cal.

Grew up in this area- it’s getting crowded and crime-filled there now too.

Welcome to San Murderdino
I moved to IE in 98. It was real nice. It got real bad but it's slowly getting better.
I have a friend who moved that way and drive to work for over 2 hours everyday if you dont mind that go for it if uts a problem atari in LA and get less for your buck
Just wait until Sacramento increases taxes, again, and again, and again...
Prop 13 bro.
I’m feeling nostalgic (went to school in the IE).
Me too (Alta Loma High right above Rancho Cucamonga, mid 80's).
Yes the home prices are lower, but the commute is brutal. Are you really saving money if you are spending 2+hours in the car everyday?
Weather in the IE is worse, wind, fire, floods. More extreme weather. It's more hood out there, more gangs. You get what you pay for.
You don’t what you’re talking about😂
Have you been to ELA, South Central, Watts!? Last I heard they were in LA County!!
I moved to San bernardino to get away i live up north havent seen one gang member in ECHO PARK where i grew up every street is a gang
even in the hood in LA the houses be worth more, even a tool shed worth more than new construction in the IE@@Lulusvideos1
More gangs in Rancho Cucamonga than El Monte and Inglewood???? You're crazy 😂
Hell naw!
Please stop, us IE locals can't afford homes anymore
Move in with a mortgage payment of 4,000 and up with no jobs and lots friendly gangsters
I couldn’t afford my house in Upland today
IE > overrated LA County
LA county is awsome (in the nice areas, not south LA). The IE is mostly a smelly desert.

Overpriced, traffic, smog, crime... what's not to love.
Well for starters we don't have people popping and living in tents on the sidewalk. So there's that.
no thanks im not getting robbed
Do robberies come with the purchase of a home?
You must pay rent 😂😂
Same clientele as Palmdale/Lancaster
Only in some areas, but we don’t need anymore.
Gentrification in the city pushing this trend
Meth, lifted trucks, flat bill caps, maga, whiskey tango families, hard no.
MAGA!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I’ll take that any day!!
I love living in a MAGA neighborhood ❤
I would never live in the HOOD!! …..not to mention the HEAT! …..might as well move to Las Vegas, the Gilded Hellhole.

It’s not a choice for these people..
Irvine hands down 😂
Norco… Horse Town USA 🐴
Airport and malls!! Doesn’t sound like he knows what a lot going on is. What about culture and lots of events?
Culture is when drug addicts sleep on the sidewalk? Ok, you can keep it 😁
I'm glad I'm not 'everyone'!
Bc it’s cheaper than the rest of the cities below.
It was more expensive now
They need to expand the airport for growing population
The meth is way more fresh in the IE, duh.
I feel sorry for Whoever buying now.
Why 😂 I don't feel bad for anyone who can afford a house right now
Stop moving here ✋
New homes, cheaper, maybe safer.
Cause its cheaper, duh?
Corona the only place I wanna live and be at fr
