Is Corona a good place to retire?
My wife and I are planning to retire in the next few years. We're considering Corona because of the weather. Weather is moderate — about 63F average.
Cost of living looks a bit high but manageable. How's the healthcare situation? Any retiree communities?

Great post! One thing I'd mention is the west side tends to be more affordable. Makes a big difference.

The job market has been improving lately. Several healthcare companies moved in recently.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

Respectfully disagree about the cost of living assessment. In my experience, it's been pretty safe in my area.

I work in tech and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 3 months.

Been here 20 years. The city has changed a lot but overall for the better.

For families, I'd recommend looking at Downtown. Schools are rated well and it's quiet.

Totally agree with this. I've been here 4 years and my experience is very similar.

Good summary. I'd rate it higher personally — maybe 8/10.
