Redlands
Redlands is the historic citrus city of the eastern Inland Empire, built out by the late-nineteenth-century navel orange boom and remembered architecturally for the wealth that came with it. South Redlands carries the deepest Victorian and Craftsman stock in the region, including landmark estates like the Kimberly Crest House and the Morey Mansion, while North Redlands, East Redlands, and the foothill edges read as more family-oriented established suburbia. The University of Redlands and Esri's world headquarters, the geographic information systems company founded here in 1969, give the city an unusual professional and academic depth for an inland market.
