High Desert living in the Victor Valley
Surrounded by the San Gabriel Mountains and home to less than 19,000 people, the High Desert city of Phelan is one of the smallest towns in San Bernardino County. Riverside and Los Angeles are about 42 and 75 miles away, respectively. “People come for the rural living and price point,” says Kathleen Hoffman, an experienced real estate agent and former honorary mayor of Phelan. “It’s a place you come to get away from the busy city.” Homes here generally sit on multi-acre lots that are often zoned for horses. Served by San Bernardino Sheriff's Department, Phelan has a CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4. Many Phelan residents work at local companies like General Atomics, as well as the Southern California Logistics Airport in Adelanto and Desert Valley Hospital in Victorville.

Plenty of land for farming
Phelan's median home price is about $460,000, higher than nearby Adelanto's $405,000 and Victorville's $440,000, but far lower than Riverside's $650,000 and L.A.'s $995,000. Throughout Phelan, modest late 20th-century ranch-style and manufactured homes are common, as are custom-built early 2000s Spanish-style homes with sprawling floor plans. Lots are generally zoned for horses and other livestock. “Almost every home here sits on 2 and a half acres or more, and many folks raise animals,” says Realtor Christopher Jones with Titan Heritage. “You get plenty of peace and privacy out here.” Most yards are dirt-packed and plant-free, as Phelan is a desert community that sees only 4 inches of rain a year; during common periods of drought, residents are advised to cut back on their water use.

Snowline prepares students for success
Phelan is part of the Snowline Joint Unified School District, as are the neighboring communities Pinon Hills and Wrightwood. While this district includes over a dozen schools, most children in the Phelan area attend Phelan Elementary School, Pinon Mesa Middle School, and finally, Serrano High School. Niche ranks them a C-plus, B, and B-plus, respectively. Career Technical Education (CTE) is integral to Serrano’s curriculum. The CTE program gives students hands-on training in various trades. “It’s done a lot for the community,” Hoffman says. “It’s important to help these kids get ready for the working world. And a lot of people who went to school here now work in the school system.” Woodworking, video game design, veterinary science and firefighting are just a few of the courses offered.

Parks and mountain trails
The 14-acre Phelan Community Park includes picnic pavilions, a playground and a basketball court. Venturing south into the San Gabriel Mountains, there are “hiking trails galore,” says Hoffman. “There’s the Pacific Crest Trail, Big Horn Mine, Inspiration Point—a lot of people camp up there, too.” Many nearby trails allow horseback riding, as well. In winter, many locals head 13 miles away to Mountain High Resort for skiing and snowboarding.
