Lenwood Homes for Rent

Lenwood, situated on the western edge of Barstow along the Mojave River, offers a semi-rural lifestyle with a lower cost of living compared to much of California. This High Desert community, developed in the 1950s and '60s, is known for its historical roots along Historic Route 66. Major employers like the BNSF Railroad, Fort Irwin Army Base, and the Marine Corps Logistics Base are within a 15-minute commute. Shopping and dining options are primarily found along Interstate 15, with notable spots like The Outlets at Barstow and Oggi’s Sports Brewhouse Pizza. Locally owned businesses on West Main Street, such as Treasure House Mall and Plata’s Mexican Food, add to the neighborhood's charm. Recreational activities include Lenwood Park, Jasper Park, and the Hinkley Community and Senior Center, with the California 300 racetrack located seven miles south. Homes in Lenwood typically feature large lots with panoramic desert views, ranch-style designs, and some Spanish-inspired elements. The housing stock is older, mostly from the 1950s and '60s, and is not situated near the interstate, ensuring a quieter environment. Lenwood is served by several schools, including Lenwood Elementary and Barstow High, with Barstow Community College nearby. The area is accessible via major roads like State Route 58 and Interstate 15, with bus route No. Three providing local transit. Safety considerations include a low risk of wildfires and a lower-than-average earthquake risk, although there is some flood risk due to the Mojave River.
