Located in the heart of California’s Inland Empire, Ontario, California is quite simply a great place to live. Often called “The Gateway to Southern California”, Ontario is just 35 miles east of Los Angeles, and at the center of economic growth in the region. The population is around 174,000 people. Many commercial businesses have relocated to the Ontario area in the last few years, and residential growth continues at rapid pace as well. The LA-Ontario airport is conveniently close by. Ontario was one of California’s first planned communities, and has always attracted people who are seeking a brighter future. Despite all of the growth, the city has retained its sense of small town warmth that makes visitors feel at home. Because of the pride and purpose of its early founders, Ontario has managed to create and maintain quality neighborhoods that are perfect for raising a family.
