Urban convenience and nearby nature escapes

Located 5 miles from Downtown San Bernardino, Northeast Sterling lies in the shadow of the San Bernardino Mountains, its streets lined with homes both old and new. “It’s very affordable, but family-friendly,” says Ignacio Arteaga, area real estate agent with Realty Masters & Associates Incorporated. “Definitely a bedroom suburb, where people live here but work in neighboring cities.” The 210 freeway hums nearby, connecting residents to areas like Los Angeles, Orange County and Riverside. Yet, it's the nearby landscapes – the rugged San Bernardino National Forest and tranquil Lake Arrowhead – that most explore in their free time. There are parks, shopping and dining right in the Northeast Sterling, and the CAP Index crime score here is 7 out of 10, higher than the national average of 4.

Well-established homes amid the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains

Most homes in Northeast Sterling are 1950s ranch-style homes, which typically have shingled roofs and paved driveways, as well as grassy front lawns rimmed by palm trees. There are also some custom-built ranch-style homes built between the early 2000s and 2010s, often with Spanish-style elements like barrel-tile roofs and stucco exteriors. Throughout the neighborhood, homes typically have three to four bedrooms and range between $450,000 to $525,000, often depending on how well a home's been maintained. "There's pride of ownership here," says Roxann Rodriguez, a Coldwell Banker Realtor with 24 years of area-experience. "I've watched neighbors transform their yards into oases."
