Looking towards the San Bernardino Mountains

About 5 miles east of San Bernardino is Highland, a city of about 56,000; within Highland lies the neighborhood of Cypress. Here, the distant San Bernardino Mountains create a peaceful backdrop for the neighborhood, whether they are a shade of hazy blue or capped with snow. Residents can walk to the library, the elementary school and several parks from their house, condo or apartment. Though it’s just one mile across, Cypress offers a variety of housing types, recreation opportunities and community resources.

Wide variety of residences

Streets are lined with sidewalks and the occasional palm tree. Home sizes and styles vary depending on the subdivision – some with simple one-story layouts, and others much larger, with built-in garages and elaborate landscaping. When it comes to single-family homes, Spanish-styles and ranch-styles with neutral palettes dominate the neighborhood. Prices range from $330,000 to $540,000. Manufactured homes cost between $38,000 and $80,000, while condos go from $205,000 to $285,000. Housing stock is limited, and listings find new owners within a month or so. "There are a lot of investment opportunities here; it's a little more affordable than Riverside," says Connie Olazaba, Realtor at EGA Homes with over 8 years of experience. Apartments, multifamily housing and land parcels also make up the residential landscape.

Community resources

One of the many community resources is the Highland Sam J. Racadio Library and Environmental Learning Center. Between its collections of books, native plants and small animals, visiting here is like going to the library and the zoo at once. It also functions as a cooling center where the public can bask in the air conditioning on days with high heat and poor air quality.

Additionally, Cypress has resources that can lessen the cost of living. The median household income is about $20,000 under the national average. However, “There’s the food pantry on 3rd Street, the second Thursday of the month, the YMCA has free food, and the Catholic Church has free food on Fridays from 9 to 11am,” says John Harley, longtime local and library assistant at the Highland Sam J. Racadio Library. Finally, the nearest hospital is Dignity Health-Saint Bernardine Medical Center, less than 5 miles west.

Restaurants along Palm Avenue & nearby stores

When it comes to eating out, RamenKoko serves big bowls of its brothy namesake dish. Next door, Jenny’s Diner offers an authentic and nostalgic 1950s diner experience. For household essentials and bargains, Family Dollar lies within the neighborhood, while groceries at Cardenas Markets are a few blocks west of Cypress. Ross Dress for Less and Walmart are about 3 miles north along East Highland Avenue.

Parks and recreation for all ages

The neighborhood offers a variety of indoor and outdoor recreation options. For example, Cunningham Neighborhood Park contains a small green space and path for dog-walking. A mile down the road, the Highland Community Park is the neighborhood spot for little league games and adventures on the playground. The Highland Family YMCA offers a variety of exercise classes, from ballet to swimming. For a workout just beyond the neighborhood, hikers are just a few miles from the San Bernardino Mountain trails. Additionally, "All the big beaches are relatively commutable – you can get to Long Beach, Huntington Beach and Newport Beach in about an hour," Olazaba says.

Commuting by car, plane, bus or bike

Cypress is roughly 5 miles from Downtown San Bernadino, and just west of the Foothill Freeway (Route 210), which leads south to Redlands. Within the neighborhood, 9th and 5th Streets have bike lanes. And though Cypress homes are right around the corner from the San Bernadino International Airport, “You get used to the noise,” Harley says. As for public transportation, “The buses cut out around 10pm, but I can walk to work and to the shopping areas,” Harley says.

San Bernardino City Unified School District

Cypress Elementary is at the center of the neighborhood. It serves Kindergarten through Grade 6 and is rated C-plus on Niche. Students continue to Serrano Middle, rated B-minus, before attending Indian Springs High, rated B-minus. The high school’s Performing Arts Center has been recognized by American School & University Magazine for its design excellence. It seats over 500 people and features an orchestra pit. There are also several nearby charter and private school options, like St. Adelaide Academy, which serves prekindergarten through Grade 8.
