Eastvale is a city in Riverside County, California, in the Inland Empire region between Corona, Norco, Ontario, and Chino. Incorporated in 2010, it is one of the newest cities in Southern California and has grown rapidly from agricultural land into an affluent, family-oriented suburb. For more than a century, the area now covered by Eastvale was dairy and citrus farmland. Dutch and Portuguese dairy families helped shape the district, and the open valley remained agricultural well into the late 20th century. As the Inland Empire's suburban expansion accelerated, master-planned communities replaced the dairy pastures, and the community incorporated as a city to govern its own rapid growth. Today Eastvale is defined by its newer, master-planned neighborhoods and its abundance of parks. The large Riverwalk Community Park anchors a network of green spaces, sports fields, and trails that run through the city's residential areas. The housing stock consists largely of sizable single-family homes built since the early 2000s, arranged around schools and parks. Education is central to the community's identity. The Corona-Norco Unified School District serves the city with a set of modern elementary, intermediate, and high school campuses, and the area's schools are a primary draw for families. The city's newer commercial centers, schools, and recreation facilities are distributed through its neighborhoods, and its rapid build-out has produced a cohesive, well-planned streetscape. Commuters use the nearby 15, 60, and 91 freeways to reach employment centers in Riverside, Ontario, and the greater Los Angeles area, while Ontario International Airport lies a short drive north. Eastvale combines a newly built suburban landscape, a strong park and school network, and a practical location in the heart of the Inland Empire.
