Golden Arrow Ranchos is close to High Desert amenities

The Golden Arrow Ranchos neighborhood sits in the heart of Southern California’s High Desert region. Palm and Joshua trees burst out of the sandy terrain, which give the area an Old West country feel. However, Interstate 15 runs just a few blocks away, so big-box shopping, restaurants and services are accessible within minutes. Due to Hesperia’s proximity to the Cajon Pass, a central corridor through the mountains between Southern California and Las Vegas, the area has historically been a stop frequented by truck drivers and railroad workers. Now, people settle into neighborhoods like Golden Arrow Ranchos for convenience to everyday amenities in a rustic, desert atmosphere.

Convenient shopping and dining centers off I-15 and Bear Valley Road

One of Golden Arrow Ranchos’ greatest draws is being near shopping and dining options. The Mall of Victor Valley offers dozens of major retailers just a few blocks away. Shopping plazas off I-15 and Bear Valley Road have additional big-box stores, including Walmart, Lowe’s and Vons. Desert Valley Hospital is also off Bear Valley Road, about 3 miles away. Though plenty of fast-food chains and sit-down restaurants are scattered throughout the nearby shopping centers, many popular dining choices operate along Main Street in downtown Hesperia. Havanazucar Cuban Restaurant serves authentic Caribbean dishes, and Honeymoon Tea Bar sells milk tea and mochi.

Relatively low home prices for the Inland Empire

The housing market primarily consists of ranch-style homes, many of which have Spanish architectural influences. Some lots have enough space to house horses and recreational vehicles. Properties are usually fenced in, and a dusting of sand lines the roads. Prices typically start at just under $300,000 and can reach $650,000 for more land and newer construction. “People come in from the west, near Los Angeles and Orange County, where homes are three times as much, sometimes four times as expensive,” says Oscar Garcia, a real estate broker with Century 21, who has worked in the area for over three decades. “The affordability is what’s driving people to move.”

From small outdoor gathering spaces to expansive parks and lakes

Golden Arrow Ranchos sits close to many of Hesperia’s and the High Desert’s parks and recreation areas. “Outdoor activities are pretty big,” Garcia says. “Whether they take place in the desert or the several ranges of mountains.” The Hesperia Civic Plaza Park provides a gathering space with a playground, bocce ball courts and an amphitheater. Hesperia Community Park features eight baseball fields, and food trucks come out on busy game days. Residents looking to escape into nature for a day trip can head about 20 miles south to the fully recreational Silverwood Lake or just north to Mojave Narrows Regional Park for its impressive display of wildlife and amenities, such as disc golf and climbing rocks. Hesperia Lake Park is a popular spot for fishing, camping and horseback riding. Golfers can choose from numerous courses within a 10-mile radius, and people go off-roading in nearby locations throughout the desert.

Freeways and public transit options near Golden Arrow Ranchos

I-15, known as the 15 freeway, is the main thoroughfare in and out of Hesperia, and Golden Arrow Ranchos rests a few blocks from an entrance ramp off Bear Valley Road. Workers can easily take the 15 freeway to San Bernardino, 35 miles south, and Riverside or Ontario, 45 miles away. Depending on traffic, the 80-mile drive to Los Angeles can take an hour and a half or longer. Soon, traveling to and from Las Vegas will be much more efficient: “In the High Desert, there is going to be a high-speed train from Hesperia to Vegas,” Garcia says. “You’ll be able to hop on and be there in an hour. They’ve already broken ground, but it will take a few years.” Victor Valley Transit buses stop throughout the neighborhood, and the Ontario International Airport is about 40 miles away.

Dry desert heat, winter flurries and wildfire risk

The High Desert area gets mostly dry heat and lots of summer sun. Winters may see some snow, with an annual average of 8 inches. Though Hesperia sits on the outskirts of high-risk wildfire zones, there is still moderate risk. The city conducts weed abatement inspections in the spring and fall to ensure flammable debris has been removed from all properties.
