That's weird. They're pretty close, but yeah, the climate site I've been using shows Corona to be much warmer. I was looking for sample houses in Orange and didn't notice that they had given me some houses in "surrounding areas".
If I was retired I probably wouldn't worry about reputation as long as the living environment was nice. I'd just wear a t-shirt that says, "I'm retired so I don't care". But are you saying the perceptional difference impacts Corona and not Orange, or both of them?
Living on the coast would certainly be nice, but it's just not in the cards due to real estate costs. I go to Newport Beach regularly, and you made a good call living there.
