Why Live in Big Bear City

Big Bear City, CA, is a mountainside resort town located approximately 42 miles northeast of San Bernardino and 100 miles east of Los Angeles. Known for its ski resorts, a 7-mile lake with natural hot springs, and abundant wildlife, the town attracts tourists year-round for activities such as hiking, mountain biking, fishing, boating, and skiing. Despite its small population of around 13,000, the town sees a significant influx of visitors during peak seasons.
