Orangecrest is a suburban Riverside neighborhood about 10 miles south of downtown.

It’s named for the citrus farms that covered the area until the 1980s.

In 1984, work began on the master-planned community of Orangecrest.

"The neighbors are great, and I love the community. Lots of activities for the kids." —Marlana M., resident

Homes, many of them with pools and manicured lawns, sit along quiet streets and cul-de-sacs.

"The neighbors get into the holiday spirit and decorate their houses. It’s generally quiet here." —M. Guzman, resident

The main drag, Van Buren Boulevard, is full of chain stores and fast food joints.

Locals pick up produce at the farmers’ market on Van Buren.

Residents picnic and play sports in three neighborhood parks.

"There are trails and dog-friendly parks to keep your fur babies happy." —G.O., resident
