Real estate in Norco ranges from smaller, older ranch homes to gorgeous luxury homes - with lots of horse properties. 

What Makes Norco, CA Great?

Norco gets its name from abbreviating the “North Corona Land Company” which it was termed by the city’s founders. It is a small town at just over 14 square miles where animals, particularly horses, are still very popular. Each year there are several rodeos held there and many people opt to ride their horses across more than 100 miles of horse trails.  There is trail riding in the grassy hillsides to the quiet Santa Ana River basin. 

In many cases the stores and restaurants located in Norco have a hitching post near the entrance because in this area you will find one of the few remaining places in California where old time values still hold true and people are just as likely to drive as they are to take their trusty steed. Is it any wonder that this history filled town with over 400 acres of parkland is known lovingly by all who visit as “Horsetown USA”?  Norco is home to the western campus of Riverside City College and the Center for Applied Competitive Technologies.

Beyond the educational side of things, families who consider moving to Norco often wonder what there is to do within this amazing town.
