— The Suburban Sprawls, Night City Sourcebook
Rancho Coronado was a residential community located in the Greater Night City Area, as well as a suburb of Central Night City. It would continue to exist during the Time of the Red.
Overview
Rancho Coronado was a residential area made up of beavervilles and located south of Night City, on Highway 126. This community extended for miles, consisting almost entirely of tract housing, interspersed with small, trendy mini-malls. While the security here did not have incredible amounts of fire power, what they lacked in bullets, they made up for in viciousness. "RC-beaver" security was famous for its pit bull tenacity, making the area a very safe place to raise a family.
Many of its subdivisions were packed full of Arasaka, Militech, Petrochem, Biotechnica, WNS, EBM and a dozen other corps employees, all neatly slotted into rows of identical, small three-bedroom homes that reached towards the horizon. It was the kind of place that made most edgerunners break out into a cold sweat just thinking about it.
Most of Rancho Coronado was walled by a twelve foot concrete barrier with an electrified, barbed wire fence extending another three feet above that. There were few main entrances around the perimeter; two off of Highway 126, one leading to Del Coronado Bay, and two off of Highway 828 towards Heywood.[1][2][3]
NCART connections with the metropolitan area were available from Rancho Coronado.[1]

The City was on the tip of the isthmus. But I realized I needed more room for the City, so I filled in part of the real bay and then cut the isthmus apart in the south to allow a lower harbor, using San Francisco as a model. So Los Osos is where Rancho Cornonado and Heywood would be. Of course, the place has been heavily fictionalized since then so that it doesn't really match any real place in California any more."
