Why it Worked: Talk about timing—homes in Monterra at Rancho Etiwanda went on sale less than a month after the Interstate 210 extension opened, which means the commute to Los Angeles is much less rigorous. Throw in the fact that Monterra offers the most affordable product in Rancho Etiwanda and you’ve got a winner.
