Homes among the city's major employers
Bisected by Interstate 15, Rancho Cucamonga's semi-residential, semi-industrial Rochester neighborhood offers commuter convenience, highly rated schools and a variety of homes near plenty of shopping and dining. Many residents work at local employers like Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, but the Metrolink light-rail and the nearby Interstate 10 give commuters a straight shot to larger Southern California cities. "It's 45 miles from Los Angeles," says Gina Cerchio, Realtor at First Team Real Estate. "If you can't afford to live there, but you're working there, you can find a home here." Major nearby shopping malls include Victoria Gardens, and the local Adult Sports Park is a gathering spot for baseball, softball and soccer.

Stadiums, ski resorts and snow in the mountains
Adult Sports Park is Rochester's one major greenspace. Its LoanMart Field stadium hosts local baseball, softball and soccer leagues, as well as the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, the city's minor league baseball team; fireworks occasionally end their home games. The 150-acre Cucamonga-Guasti Regional Park is roughly 5 miles away, with two lakes and a splashpad. There's plenty of open space, but some of the park's features have faced neglect. "The pool’s been closed for a while now, and the pier is off-limits,” says Ezra Vallejo, employee of Cucamonga-Guasti Regional Park. “We still draw a good crowd for parties, corporate events, and cross-country meets.” When there’s a marathon in town, it’s usually held here.
The small mountain town of Big Bear Lake is within 60 miles of Rochester, known for its Snow Summit ski resort. "You're about 45 minutes from Big Bear Mountain," says Cerchio. "We got tons of snow in 2024, and they were open into July, which is unheard of." During warmer seasons, Rancho Cucamonga locals visit the ski resort for mountain biking, scenic lake views and fishing.
