Conveniently located community near downtown Fontana

Less than four miles from downtown Fontana, Rancho Fontana is an Inland Empire bedroom community between green spaces and light industry. Once an agricultural area, the neighborhood is now over 400 acres of housing with distribution centers and warehouses at its edge. “Rancho Fontana is a middle-class suburban community. It has lower housing prices than some surrounding areas, and people love living there,” says Bertrina Gonzales-Van, a broker associate and agent with Keller Williams Empire Estates with 15 years of experience. “It’s in north Fontana, so there are newer homes, and people are drawn to the location.” Situated near four major roadways, the community is popular with commuters. It also provides scenic views of the San Gabriel Mountain foothills and the San Bernardino Valley. The neighborhood’s CAP Index score is 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.

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.

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.
