Characterized by clear skies and open landscapes, East Lancaster has seen significant development over the years, transitioning from a sparsely populated region to a more structured community with an increasing number of amenities and services. "Lots of people are moving from LA because they get larger homes and more space out here," says Realtor Leonard Egstrom with eXp Realty. "Despite how old this town is, it's becoming more and more popular." East Lancaster differs from the west side in that it was developed first, starting in the 1960s when the local aerospace industry took off. Today, it’s a popular landing spot for those looking for large, modern homes at palatable price points.

Midcentury ranches and modern builds
According to Egstrom, a key part of Lancaster's appeal is that it offers a beautiful setting without the premium prices found elsewhere in the region. "Our affordability is fantastic," he says. The housing market in the neighborhood is composed of midcentury ranches closer to central Lancaster and more recently developed tracts on the east side of the neighborhood, which typically feature 2-story new traditional and Spanish-style homes. "New builders are building like crazy right now,” Engstrom says. “We have a lot of land, so they're taking advantage of it." Smaller midcentury homes on the west side typically sell for between $350,000 and $480,000, while the more spacious modern builds usually go for $500,000 to $650,000.

Getting around Antelope Valley
State Highway 14 connects East Lancaster, and Lancaster as a whole, to Palmdale, Santa Clarita, and the rest of LA County. Palmdale is just a 10-mile drive from the neighborhood, while Santa Clarita and Downtown LA are 45 and 70 miles away, respectively. The Antelope Valley Transit Authority oversees bus routes in East Lancaster, offering direct connections to the center of town. However, some houses in the neighborhood are miles from the nearest bus stop, and it can require multiple transfers to get from the neighborhood to parts of Palmdale and elsewhere in the community. Palmdale Regional Airport currently doesn’t have scheduled passenger airline service, so when locals need to book flights they usually head down to Burbank International Airport, a 60-mile drive from the neighborhood.
It's about 80 miles to Los Angeles from East Lancaster.
