Vista
Suburban ranch-style homes and multifamily options
Vista's mix of housing options is part of why it's less expensive, in contrast to north Claremont neighborhoods that are almost exclusively single-family homes. "It's mostly cute 1950s and '60s homes, but there's a decent amount of multifamily housing," says Porreca. "It offers more of a mix than you can find in most of Claremont." Suburban streets lined with ranch-style homes, green lawns and shady trees make up most of the neighborhood. Prices range from $700,000 to $950,000 for those with updated interiors. Condos and townhouses in the neighborhood's southeast corner can cost $450,000 to almost $800,000.

Outdoor activity at Wheeler Park

Groceries at the Claremont Promenade
The Claremont Promenade is the closest shopping center for essentials, just south, across Interstate 10. It has a Super King Market for groceries, and the surrounding strip mall has small restaurants and local businesses. There's another strip mall to the east, with a pharmacy and more local and chain restaurants. About a mile west on Arrow Highway, there's a Walmart Neighborhood Market at the Valley Shopping Center. When dining out or looking for more activity, residents usually head a mile up South Indian Hill Boulevard to Claremont Village. The Village is Claremont's town center. Its blocks are lined with locally owned restaurants, boutiques and bakeries.

Hop directly onto Interstate 10
Interstate 10 runs along the neighborhood's south side, allowing commuters to travel east and west through Los Angeles County. Downtown LA is about 30 miles west, but there's plenty of employment within a few miles of the neighborhood. Pomona Valley Hospital, the area's largest medical center, is just over 2 miles west. There's even a business park with various manufacturing companies on the neighborhood's north side, within a short walk or drive of many homes. While cars are the main transportation method, Amtrak and regional Metrolink trains stop at Claremont Depot, less than a mile up the road. Ontario International Airport is the nearest place for flights, 8 miles east.Wildfires in the San Gabriel Mountains
The San Gabriel Mountains north of Claremont are part of the Angeles National Forest and are often affected by wildfires. The Bridge Fire in the fall of 2024 was the most recent fire to threaten the city's northern foothills, burning almost 60,000 acres. Vista is a few miles from the mountains. Still, residents should remain aware of fire activity and have an evacuation plan, with wildfires becoming more frequent in the region.
