Amongst the chaparral and woodlands of San Bernardino County, Chino Hills is known for its high quality of life, beautiful vistas and rural atmosphere. The city takes its name from the small mountain range it rests on and was largely unchanged until the 1970s when the rising population of nearby counties created a need for more housing. Horse ranches and dairy farms gave way to subdivisions and shopping centers, leading to Chino Hills' incorporation in 1991. This Inland Empire city has just over 77,000 residents, according to 2023 Census data, and covers 45 square miles. Part of the Chino Valley, Chino Hills is bordered by Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside Counties.
“There’s lots of things to like about Chino Hills. It’s an upscale suburban area with a city mall and community events. There are planned communities and tract houses. The market’s good,” says David Babiracki, the owner of Option West Realty who has over two decades of real estate experience. “It’s off the 60, so there’s easy access to downtown. It’s in San Bernardino County but close to Los Angeles, so people can commute to L.A.”

Hillside views, estate houses and ranch-style homes
Chino Hills has a wide variety of housing options from the 1950s through today. Ranch-style homes, contemporary designs and estates boast incredible views of the surrounding area. Housing developments are still being built, and land is still available for custom residences. The city provides comfortable surroundings at a more affordable price than much of the region and is within commuting distance of San Bernardino, Riverside and Anaheim. However, Chino Hills is growing, and housing prices are rising, thanks to the influx of people leaving Los Angeles County.
Homes sell for a median price of $1.1 million after around 28 days, less than the national average of 44 days. Townhouses range from $570,000 to $700,000, while condos range from $475,000 to $900,000. Manufactured homes begin around $140,000 and continue to $325,000. Estate homes range from $2 million to $3.9 million, although outliers on multiple acres can sell for more than $8.5 million. Ranch-style houses sell for between $1 million and $1.5 million, while contemporary designs range from $1 million to $1.8 million.

Low crime scores, natural disasters and sunny days
In 2008, Chino Hills experienced a 5.4 magnitude earthquake. No lives were lost, but some buildings suffered structural damage.

According to FBI statistics from 2022, one in 604 people could become victims of violent crime in the city, while one in 200 could throughout California. One in 68 people in Chino Hills could experience a property crime, while one in 43 could experience theft or burglary in the rest of the state.
