Situated about 62 miles east of Downtown Los Angeles, Moreno Valley West is an expansive community in the Inland Empire area. Nicknamed "Mo-Val," the west end of Moreno Valley holds a distinct quality by providing residents a serene, desert-like setting as well as several restaurants and retail shops. Rental options in Moreno Valley West range from luxury apartments to charming houses and everything in between.

If you travel along Pigeon Pass Road and head toward the Sunnymead Ranch community, you may have to stop for crossing animals. To accommodate the neighborhood animals, street signs line the roads to warn drivers of donkey crossings.

With temperatures reaching 112 degrees, summers grow hot in Moreno Valley, while winters loom cold. Heading up Heacock Street to Reche Canyon, residents catch stunning views of snow-capped mountains during the winter months. In contrast to Los Angeles, life in Riverside County offers locals a distinct change in seasons.
