Outrage after California suburb is named one of the 'vibiest' towns in America despite ugly giant warehouses

A California suburb has been named as one of the 'vibiest' towns in the country, despite it known for being filled with traffic and giant warehouses. 

Apartment Therapy named Rancho Cucamonga as one of America's towns with a great vibe. 

The company said they considered factors including geographical diversity, home sale prices, 'distinct personality' and 'fascinating things to see and do'. 

The suburban city sits 30 miles east of Downtown LA and is know for both the 210 and 15 freeways running through it, as well as a host of giant fulfillment centers. 

They described the place as being a 'small city in the vineyards' and highlighted well-watered lawns.

In actuality, the city serves as a commuting hub and area known for hosting large corporations due to its transport connections. 

Apartment Therapy is scant on details of the town and highlights features like its cul-de-sacs. 

They also mention Sunland, but Sunland is neither a city or a town at all, its a neighborhood inside Los Angeles. 

In another California mention, they call Petaluma 'peak California' due to its 'redwood forests' and 'coastal vistas'. 

However, Petaluma has no views of the coast at all and is separated from the Pacific by ten miles. There are also no redwood trees in Petaluma either. 

The city forms part of the Inland Empire in the state which has been thriving in recent years due to it being deemed the 'last affordable' region in the state.

This trend is driven partly by coastal renters moving inland to purchase more affordable homes, as reported by SFGate. 

Menifee, located in Riverside County, emerged as one of the state's top population growth centers, adding over 2,000 residents in the past year. 

This surge in population has attracted significant interest from real estate investors, causing fluctuations in median home prices across the region.

The average home price in Inland Empire fell 2.5 percent between February 2023 and 2024 to $535,000 - compared to a steep $1.2 million in Los Angeles.
