3.7 (44 Reviews)

Named for its history as a citrus-production area, Orangecrest sits about seven miles southeast of downtown Riverside. You can see the neighborhood's agricultural past in its greenery, as its many houses for rent lie between freshly-trimmed lawns and beautiful trees. When you want to enjoy that Southern California sun, head to Orange Terrace Park, which features several sports fields, a playground, a picnic area, and a community center.

The Orangecrest neighborhood has quite a few restaurants and sushi bars, including Sushi Station. Orangecrest Town Center serves as the most popular hangout in the area and the place to go for all your shopping needs. More than a mall, the town center houses Orangecrest's thriving arts community, with plays at Riverside Community Players and concerts at the Riverside County Philharmonic.

The area is great. Neighborhoods are clean and friendly. Parks are well maintained, the recreational involvement of parents and kids is great. The schools are great.

Worst is trouble making teens trying to have fun.

The area is pretty safe. There are always people out walking around with their families or pets. Quite rare that you hear the police driving by.

There are plenty of corporate stores in the area, but not many small businesses nearby. There are some, but not as many as I would like to see thriving. Middle class convenience is definitely prevalent and we can get everything we need here
