The Preserve is a master-planned development in Chino, a city in the western end of San Bernadino County, about 42 miles from Los Angeles. In 2003, Chino annexed over 5,400 acres of farmland south of Kimball Avenue to develop sprawling suburbs and commercial centers while maintaining over half of the land as open space for natural conservation, agricultural use and recreational areas.
"The Preserve is the up-and-coming community in South Chino," says Vanessa O'Neill, a Realtor with Realty Masters and Associates, with over 20 years of experience. "They have amazing community facilities, including a dog park, library and a community center that feels like a resort." Multiple subdivisions are included in The Preserve, and it's still being developed, with plans for more neighborhoods, parks and amenities.
The Preserve offers modern and newly built parks through out the area.

Events and amenities at The Preserve
There's a lot to do in The Preserve, which has several community hubs and recreational complexes. The Parkhouse includes a fitness center, swimming pool, tennis courts and a surround-sound theater.
Another recreational facility, The Meadowhouse, has outdoor games, pickleball, a covered patio, an outdoor bar and barbecuing areas. There's also a community garden with orchards, grapevines and fruit and vegetables. The Preserve has a library and a 24-hour business center, which is convenient for remote workers in the community.
The Preserve has more celebrations and social events than some developments. "They are like a community within a community. There are community garage sales, movie nights and craft events for families," says Jorge Marquez, a Realtor with Re/Max 2000, who has a dozen years of housing policy experience and is Covina's former mayor. In addition, The Preserve hosts customary holiday and seasonal functions like a Christmas lighting and a 4th of July event.

Single-family homes and townhouses from the mid-2000s to 2020s
The neighborhood is made up of calm streets with sidewalks bordered by landscaped lawns, hedges and trees. "Compared to the general area, the homes here are a little bit newer," Marquez says. All of the homes here date from the mid-2000s to the 2020s
Single-family homes and townhouses are within walking distance of parks and community centers. Spanish-style architectural characteristics, such as stucco exteriors, large patios and red clay roof tiles, are common at The Preserve. There also are contemporary stylings, whether it be homes mixing building materials like stone and stucco or the use of asymmetrical exteriors. Multicar garages are the norm, and some homes have solar panels.
Size is a significant factor in The Preserve's home prices, with 1,400 to 2,000-square-foot homes costing between $650,000 and $800,000. Homes with 3,000 to 4,400 square feet range from $890,000 to $1.3 million. Townhouses and condos are typically $505,000 to $750,000. Monthly homeowner's association fees, subject to change, were $62 for community amenities and $81 for maintenance services in 2024. Apartment communities are also part of The Preserve.

State Routes 60, 71 and 83 and a local airport
The Preserve is a walkable neighborhood without many through streets, which allows for limited traffic and a calm environment. Besides SR-83, directly west of The Preserve, nearby freeways include state Routes 60 and 71. There's no public bus service, so driving and commuter carpooling are common. There are two Park & Rides within 9 miles, and it's about 8 miles to the Corona - North Main Metrolink station.
North of The Preserve is Chino Airport for general aviation, including corporate flights. For those looking for major airlines, it's about 9 miles to Ontario International Airport (OIA) and 55 miles to LAX. Aircraft noise may affect the area and chemtrails are visible at times. The Chino Airport has an online noise complaint form that accepts audio file uploads; OIA has a web form and a hotline. Flight paths have occasionally been altered, and the city continues monitoring noise levels.
Minimal fire hazards and fewer cows
Although wildfires are a regional threat, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's fire hazard severity scale does not indicate very high hazards for Chino. As preventative measures, the Chino General Plan calls for home sites to have clearance around structures, fire-resistant roofing and ground cover.
Much of the area, especially Ontario Ranch, north of the airport, has housed dairy businesses. Chino, nicknamed 'Cow Town,' had many more agricultural sites before the residential areas were developed. Though odors from livestock are still present in Chino, they are not as apparent as they once were.
