The neighbourhoods

Where Norco actually breaks down, in the desk's own words.

Full neighbourhood file →

Historic Sixth Street District

Norco's downtown commercial strip, painted with red, white, and blue stripes and lined with Western-façade storefronts leading to the Veterans Memorial Plaza at the George Ingalls Event Center.

Norco Hills

An early-2000s hillside subdivision of Spanish and Mediterranean Revival homes with ranch-style detailing and stucco tile roofs.

Norco Farms

A rural-residential area roughly three miles north of Norco Hills, home to the sprawling Silverlakes Sports Park equestrian and event complex.

Silverlakes

The equestrian and multi-sport park district within Norco Farms, hosting regional horse shows and youth sports tournaments on land developed for the city's equestrian trail network.

Equestrian Trail District (River Road / Santa Ana riverbottom)

The riverside trail corridor along the Santa Ana River bottom, part of the roadside trail system that stretches more than 100 miles and anchors the city's official "Horsetown USA" trademark.

Lake Norconian / Naval Hospital area

The site of Rex Clark's 1920s Lake Norconian Club resort, converted into a U.S.

A day around here

Ordinary life in Norco, the way it actually runs — not a highlight reel.

Morning

An early walk at Water Demonstration Garden, before the day starts properly.

Afternoon

An hour at Neil Snipes Park, between the errands that never show up on a listing sheet.

Evening

Dinner at Spirit of Texas Craft Barbeque, then a short drive back to whichever neighbourhood you call home.
