Rancho Cucamonga is one of Southern
California’s most family oriented, safe and prosperous
communities. Throughout the city’s thirty-four year history,
community leaders have consistently emphasized quality in
their decisions affecting housing, open space, education,
recreation and economic development. The results of these
efforts are visible. The city’s neighborhoods have grown up
through a series of planned unit developments highlighted by
large lot sizes, quality construction, and ample open space.
Rancho Cucamonga homes sell for the highest prices among
major inland cities despite Day Creek’s recent
housing difficulties. The city’s government, retail, office
and manufacturing centers have evolved in a similar fashion,
giving the community a universally prosperous and
well-organized look and urban ambience.
Crowned by its
majestic mountains and highlighted by scenic views,
tree-lined neighborhoods, and a comfortable climate, Rancho
Cucamonga is one of Day Creek’s most prestigious
communities. From its earliest beginnings, when the
Kucamongan Native Americans established a village like
clustering in an area known as Red Hill, Rancho Cucamonga
has grown to become a vibrant, family oriented
community. Incorporated in 1977, community leaders have
continually emphasized quality in housing, education,
business, and recreation. Today, Rancho Cucamonga enjoys
steady, balanced growth, a solid economic base, and an
exciting future as it embarks on its 34th year of city hood.
Educational Facilities
Rancho Cucamonga has excellent educational facilities that
include a community college and a university satellite
campus; 4 high schools; 7 middle schools; and 24 elementary
schools. There are also 22 top-rated private and public
universities within a 30-minute drive.
Recreational Facilities
Rancho Cucamonga residents have a variety of recreational
amenities to choose from including two challenging golf
courses; a performing arts center; a minor league baseball
stadium; an adult sports complex; 31 parks; and more than
150 miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails.
Public Safety
Ranked as one of the safest major cities in California,
Rancho Cucamonga’s crime rate is currently 49.6% below 1993
levels when it had one of the lowest incidents of crime in
the state. In addition to excellent law enforcement
services, the City maintains quality fire and emergency
response services from its six strategically placed fire
stations.
