Riverside Meadows, a Quiet 55+ Mobile Home and Manufactured Home Community in Southern California, Has Nicely Landscaped Grounds, a Recreation Center, Planned Events and Mountain Views
The 55+ mobile/manufactured home community of Riverside Meadows is in the heart of California's Inland Empire, also known as San Bernadino County and Riverside County to the east and north of Los Angeles. The development dates from the 1970s, but many homes are much newer than that.
Most of the older properties are mobile homes (built prior to June 15, 1976) but have been remodeled, with exteriors painted and roofs recoated. Interior features may include new copper insulated piping and double pane windows. Stainless steel appliances, laminate floors, comfort height toilets, and accessible showers are other common upgrades. The manufactured homes (built from June 15, 1976) look site built and have a front porch, tile baths, granite countertops, ceiling fans and more.
Prices begin in the low-$100,000s. Lot rental fees are about $935 to $1,190 per month. Please verify these prices with a Realtor as they are bound to change.
The grounds are nicely landscaped with green spaces, gardens and palm trees, giving the community a soothing quality. The amenities have been upgraded over the years and include a recreation center with a kitchen, a library, a fireplace, a crafts room, a ceramics kiln, pool tables, and a laundry room. Shuffleboard courts, horseshoe pits, and a heated swimming pool surround the center. Residents may participate in line dancing classes, bingo, an aqua club, a bike club and more.
Mountains loom in the distance, and a city bus stops just outside the Riverside Meadows' gate.
Pets are welcome, but they must meet management standards. A dog park is just next door.
Downtown Riverside offers a rich array of restaurants and historic sites. Its renovated Main Street is a pedestrian mall with fountains, sculptures, museums, and boutiques. The University of California at Riverside is the home of the Sweeney Art Gallery and the California Museum of Photography. Its 40-acre botanic gardens features an unusual collection of plants and four miles of walking trails. The city hosts an airshow, a Dickens festival and the Long Night of Arts and Innovation.
Parkview Community Hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission.
Average summer temperatures are in the high-80s but can reach to the low-100s. Winter temperatures are in the 40s and 50s. On average, the area receives 3 inches of rain per year.

California:
California is the most populous state in the United States, and it is the sixth largest economy in the world.
Because it is so long, the climate varies greatly. Everything from deserts, forests and snow covered mountains to the world famous moderate temperatures of Southern California are here. Record temperatures have included a low of minus 35 degrees and a high of 134 degrees.
Missions placed within a day's walk from one another dot the length of the state and started appearing in 1769. Juan Cabrillo first sighted California in 1542 and inspired the missions. A few of the most famous ones are San Juan Capistrano (the swallows return every year at the same time), and San Diego (the first one).
A few of California's natural resources include petroleum, timber and natural gas. Industries are manufacturing (machinery, transportation equipment, electronics), aerospace and defense, biotechnology, and tourism. Of course, Hollywood and Disneyland are known around the world. Other famous attractions are Yosemite National Park, the Golden Gate Bridge (San Francisco), Point Reyes National Seashore, Sequoia National Park and San Simeon State Park (Hearst Castle).
The lowest point in the U.S. is California's Death Valley at 282 feet below sea level, and the highest point in the Lower 48 is its Mt. Whitney at 14,491 feet above sea level. Outside of Hawaii and Alaska, the state's Lassen Peak is one of the two active volcanoes in the U.S. It last erupted in 1917.
More immigrants settle down in California than in any other state.
Are 55+ Communities Really "Retirement" Communities?
Many people who live in age-restricted communities (usually for people age 55+) are still gainfully employed. So why would they live in what is considered a "retirement" community? Why not continue to live in a standard neighborhood? People still employed choose age-restricted communities for the same reasons as people who are retired do: the safety, amenities and sense of community that one can provide. And whether employed or not, once the kids are grown, it is sometimes nice to live in a neighborhood where small children do not congregate.
