Anything But Coffee

I Miss Rancho Cucamonga

I never realized how much I actually miss living in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Even though I only lived there for two years, the damn place actually grew on me lol. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like it’s such a bad place to live that it’s a surprise I miss it; it’s just I never figured I would have actually liked living there.

I grew up in the Inland Empire part of Southern California. For those who don’t know the area it’s the cities inside of San Bernardino County and Riverside County. And trust me these are not the most “attractive” cities to grow up in. But Rancho Cucamonga was always known as the upper class, nice even rich city. And growing up in the San Bernardino and Redlands area, with Rancho only being about 30 min away, it seemed like an entirely different world!

Prices

If you’re considering living in Rancho, then there are some things you should know. First off, it’s not cheap. Let me put it this way, it’s known as the Orange County of the Inland Empire, so be ready to pay more in rent here then you would in any of the other surrounding cities. Secondly, the price is worth it.

The city is very clean and taken care of and it reflects in its businesses. Thats one of the main things i miss actually. After moving, i noticed how dirty the place im living now is, and how rude most of the employees at the fast food joints all are. In Rancho I never had that problem.
The houses range from very nice to extremely expensive, up around the million dollar mark! The apartments can be anywhere from $1000 for a one bedroom up to $3000 plus for a two bedroom or more. But again, so worth it. The rooms are normally a very decent size, and the apartment grounds are all kept nice alongwith their weight rooms, pools and club houses.

Entertainment in Rancho Cucamonga

Other then the living situation, everything that you need is in this city. A great shopping malls like the Ontario Mills with their Edwards and AMC multi-theaters to the beautiful outside shopping mall Victoria Gardens. And don’t forget the restaurants like The Yard House, California Pizza kitchen, Omokase Sushi and any other ones you can think of.

Man now that I think about it I miss living in Rancho Cucamonga more and more. After my lease is up at this place I’m gonna have to start looking back into moving that direction again.
