Rancho Fontana
Contemporary housing in an established neighborhood
Trees dot the landscape around cul-de-sacs and manicured lawns in Rancho Fontana. Tract houses line lanes like Plum Tree Place and Geranium Street. The neighborhood’s first housing boom happened in the 1950s, and another began in the 1980s and continued through 2009. There’s a combination of contemporary designs and Spanish-inspired homes with stucco exteriors and red-tiled roofs. People tend to stay here when they move in, and the area has very few vacancies. Homes sell for a median price of $615,000 after 32 days on the market, although the entire range starts around $540,000 and continues to $860,000. This contrasts sharply with nearby neighborhoods like Coyote Canyon, Citrus Heights and Bellgrove, where houses can sell for over $1 million.Nearby shopping centers and local eateries
While Rancho Fontana doesn’t have much shopping or dining within the neighborhood, both can be found a short drive away. Nokki Thai Kitchen makes Thai dishes with a modern twist, while La Tapatia Mexican Grill offers homestyle Mexican and American favorites. My N.Y. Pizza is known for its giant 14-inch individual slices or 28-inch savory pies. For groceries, WinCo Foods and Cardenas Markets are nearby. There’s also a Ralphs in the Sierra Lakes Shopping Center, just off the 210 Freeway, where there are also large retailers like Costco and Lowe’s. Ontario Mills and Victoria Gardens shopping centers are close by and have dozens of stores, services and restaurants.Highly rated schools and a local college

The Chaffey College Fontana Campus opened in 1996 and offers two-year degrees and professional certificates.City parks and nature preserves
At the neighborhood’s eastern edge, Almeria Park is lined with shade trees and has wide open spaces for soccer games, tag or catch. There are two playgrounds, a walking path and several picnic shelters with grills. Koehler Park is home to basketball courts, baseball fields and tennis courts. A large soccer field takes up half the green space, while a playground and snack bar fill out the area. Northwest of Rancho Fontana, between the San Bernardino and the Angeles National Forests is the Cucamonga Wilderness, a reserve with 18 miles of trails that is popular with wildlife watchers. The Etiwanda Falls Trailhead is 6.5 miles away in the North Etiwanda Preserve. The challenging hiking path leads to a 15-foot waterfall and provides beautiful views of the surrounding San Gabriel Mountain foothills.Convenient to freeways, buses and bike lanes
Rancho Fontana is popular with commuters because it’s close to the 210 and 215 Freeways, and Interstates 15 and 10 are less than four miles from the community. Commuters tend to have drives 20-minutes longer than the national average, with trips to nearby cities like San Bernardino, Rancho Cucamonga and Riverside often taking 45 minutes to an hour. Getting around the neighborhood is more straightforward, with streets like Baseline, Beach and Live Oak Avenues running through the area. People can catch the bus along Baseline Avenue, which also has bike lanes. Pedestrians use a series of sidewalks connecting the residential neighborhood. Rancho Fontana lies two miles from Arrowhead Fontana Family Health Medical Center and ten miles from the Ontario International Airport.Houses of worship with multilingual services
There are over a dozen Protestant and Catholic churches near Rancho Fontana, many of which offer multi-lingual services. The Inland Valley Islamic Society is just 1.5 miles from the neighborhood, while the Ar-Rahman Islamic Center is 2.5 miles away.Environmental factors
The area is at increased risk of wildfires and earthquakes. To combat these hazards, the city works to minimize flammable debris, plants vegetation to prevent landslides in the foothills after a fire and provides automatic gas shutoff valves that activate during an earthquake.
