Developing community in the desert outside Hesperia

High Country’s residential streets are broken up by patches of open desert, creating a unique landscape of pocket communities. The California Aqueduct cuts through the neighborhood, lending to more open space and wide-open skies. “It’s a developing area – it’s mostly rural desert, but in the last 20 years, they’ve been building it up,” says Real Estate Agent Leonard Aubry with RE/MAX New Dimension, who has over 30 years of experience. Roughly 5 miles west of central Hesperia, High Country has ample access to shops and restaurants along Main Street.

Single-family homes from the 2000s and 2020s

Homes in High Country are lined along suburban streets with cul-de-sacs, complemented by driveways and tiny front lawns. Most of these properties were either built in the 2000s or are new construction and built in 2025. “There are five or six big builders over there, building a ton of homes. It should be a giant development when it’s done,” says Real Estate Broker John Nicols with Ever Stewert Alvarado, who has over 15 years of experience. Craftsman homes with adobe siding are popular, with tiled roofs, stone accents and front gables. Prices range from $450,000 to $575,000, depending on if the property is single- or multi-story. New traditional multi-story homes with simple adobe exteriors cost a similar amount. Spanish Revivals with stucco siding and tiled roofs go for $475,000 to $625,000. Closer to Main Street are manufactured homes that sit in subdivisions like Hesperia Estates Mobile Home Community. Many of these properties were built in the 1960s, have carports and cost around $45,000 to $60,000.

High Country offers a variety of traditional multi level homes with character, style, and a welcoming mountain ambiance.

High Country’s neighborhood parks and recreational facilities

Pocket parks are dotted throughout High Country. Malibu Park is the largest in the area, with a playground, sheltered picnic tables, multi-use sports fields and basketball courts. Walking pathways branch out from the green space and wind through the surrounding neighborhood cul-de-sacs. Hesperia Recreational Park also has a playground and hoops, while Rosewood Drive Park has tennis courts and a small grassy lawn. For indoor recreation, the Rick Novak Community Center offers youth and adult classes and has a gymnasium with open hours for basketball and volleyball. On the other side of the parking lot is Palm Street Park, with a playground and walking paths. “There’s also the California Aqueduct. You can’t really walk along it, but you can fish,” Nicols says.

Your kids will never want to leave the playground at Malibu Park.

Traveling in and out of High Country

While the individual communities in High Country have sidewalks that encourage recreational strolls and bike rides, most people commute using a vehicle. Interstate 15, known as Barstow Freeway, travels west of the neighborhood and heads south to San Bernardino, about 29 miles away. The Cajon Pass along I-15 is known for its heavy traffic – commutes from Hesperia to San Bernadino can get up to 90 minutes on occasion. For public transportation options, the Victory Valley Transit Authority has local bus services with stops along Main Street. The San Bernardino International Airport is roughly 33 miles away.
