Moreno Valley

Welcome to Moreno Valley

One of the fastest-growing cities in the IE — young, diverse, and full of potential.

The Story of Moreno Valley

Moreno Valley didn't exist as a city until 1984. Before incorporation, it was a patchwork of communities near March Air Force Base. When the base scaled down, the city needed a new identity.

Growth came fast. Moreno Valley became one of the most affordable places in Southern California, drawing families from LA County and beyond. Today, it's one of the youngest and most diverse cities in the region.

The challenge has always been infrastructure keeping up with growth — but the community spirit here is strong, and residents have a stake in building something lasting.
