Eastvale – Just being east of downtown Los Angeles, Eastvale manages to shine brighter than the all known county. Eastvale is a relatively new city because its previous owners were dairy farmers. Now at just six years old, and still growing, Eastvale is bursting with opportunity and prowess.
Since the city itself is so modern, nearly every resident is new which means that Eastvale is immensely diverse in culture. What pulls in new residents is the city’s highly rated and awards winning schools as well as the low crime rate. Also, since Eastvale is so new, so are the houses. With most starting at just $500,000, it might sound overwhelming but it buys homeowners approximately 3,000 square feet.
Up until recently, Eastvale was without public spaces such as parks and community centers. Now that they’ve been added, the city also plans to build two new elementary schools. While the new extensions to the community provide revenue and more space for citizens, it also increases the local property taxes more than two percent. That’s twice the state’s average.
Jobs within the Eastvale city limits are limited but a new Amazon fulfillment center was recently built to offer more job opportunities to city. Residents wishing to find work outside of Eastvale must endure 45 minutes of rush hour traffic since the city sits between Irvine and San Bernardino.
