Chino Housing
|
Following World War II, Orange and Los Angeles counties replaced their dairy farms with housing. Many of the farms moved to the Chino Valley. Chino at its edges still has ranchettes and fields under cultivation and a few dairy farms but the days of Bossy and Flossie are numbered.
Chino erected about 2,300 housing units in the 1960s and 6,500 in the 1970s. In the 1980s, the city built another 5,000 units and in the 1990s about 1,300 units.
Homes follow the sturdy tract model designs of the 60s and 70s and the larger designs of recent years. Chino has a fair amount of older housing, about 2,000 units predating the 1950s. This gives it housing prices across the spectrum and makes it a good town for young families buying into the housing market. On its west side, Chino borders the City of Chino Hills, which developed later and has favored upscale housing.
