Got curb appeal? Love keeping your home looking its best?

The Beautify MoVal at Home Award is a quarterly recognition program that celebrates Moreno Valley residents who take pride in maintaining and beautifying their homes. Whether it's a perfectly manicured lawn, a fresh coat of paint, or thoughtful details that make a property stand out, this program shines a spotlight on the homes that help make Moreno Valley a great place to live.

Each quarter, outstanding residential properties from across the City are recognized for their contribution to neighborhood beautification, community pride, and overall quality of life. Award recipients receive gift cards and are formally recognized at a City Council meeting.

To be considered for the Beautify MoVal at Home Award, applicants must satisfy all of the following eligibility requirements:

  • The property must be located within the municipal boundaries of the City of Moreno Valley.
  • The property must be a single-family residential dwelling.
  • The property must be visible from the public right of way.
  • The property must be in Pride Ready condition at the time of application and evaluation.
  • The applicant may be either the property owner or a tenant.
  • The applicant must provide documentation verifying residency at the subject property.
