What he said. My sister used to live in Moreno Valley and I have to say, its an armpit.</blockquote>
Heck, I think it's a bit of an armpit, and I live in Riverside. It's basically where people who work in Riverside (or worse-Orange County-what a commute) bought a house if they couldn't afford to buy one in Riverside. Of course, now that most people can easily buy one in Riverside itself...
Now, the flip side to that is that you can now get a huge new house dirt cheap. There's enough shopping and restruants, although not much on the high end. There's not much "culture", though, and few jobs beyond the type where you ask if you want fries with that.
It's also a little more desert-y than Riverside-some people like that, some don't. The air quality might be a bit better than Riverside, since it is beyond the mountains that trap the stuff that blows in from LA.
