Ancient pathways and midcentury homes
In the southern hills of Redlands, California, Live Oak Canyon is home to large estates, modest dwellings and several farms. It combines everything the region has to offer, placed between the town and two canyons. Hiking trails through the forested hills are right outside resident’s doors, and downtown is less than five miles north. The area has historic homes, nearby equestrian stables and The Barns at Live Oak Canyon, an antique and art mall that hosts special events. The area was used for citriculture until the 1950s when housing developments were constructed, but it has a much longer history. Indigenous peoples used the canyon as a route to the Pacific Coast for centuries, and the Serrano Indians held ceremonies on the land for generations. Today, the neighborhood honors that legacy by preserving ancient trails while looking forward to its future. “Live Oak Canyon is a rural area with a lot of ranches and farms. There’s lots of fruit trees and big lots for houses,” says Carlos Guiterrez, a Realtor and Team Lead at Re/Max Champions with almost 20 years of real estate experience. “It’s a place for people who want more space but still be close to downtown.”

Nature sanctuaries, preserves and parks
San Timoteo Nature Sanctuary stretches over 200 acres and encompasses three ecosystems: riparian, grasslands and hillside chaparral. This allows visitors to explore thickets of willows, flowing grasses and hillside shrubs. There are several hiking trails for exploration by foot or horseback, and the preserve offers pre-scheduled guided tours. Herngt ‘Aki’ Preserve covers over 300 acres in Live Oak Canyon. It contains trails made and used by Native Americans for centuries and is named ‘Rattlesnake House’ in the Serrano Indians’ language to honor the tribes who once lived there. The site has seven trails, with lengths from 1.2 to 3.8 miles. Caroline Park provides locals with an overlook terrace featuring 180-degree views of the San Bernardino Mountains and a botanical garden with several types of oak trees, California Poppies and Mariposa Lilies.

Architectural variety designed to keep out extreme temperatures
The neighborhood is made of detached single-family houses and apartments, with 79% of people owning their homes and 21% renting. Architectural designs range from Spanish-inspired dwellings to ranch-style homes to custom-built estates on spacious lots. Stucco walls and tiled roofs are abundant throughout the area and were designed to keep out the extreme desert temperatures, while shaded winding roads often end in cul-de-sacs. “It’s a stable market, and because they’re larger properties, they’re on the upper end of the price scale,” says Guiterrez. Homes sell for a median price of $730,000 after 43 days on the market, which is aligned with the national average. Housing prices range from $550,000 to $2.2 million, which includes ranch-style homes priced from $550,000 to $1.4 million. Spanish-inspired dwellings range from $620,000 to $1.4 million, while custom-built homes start around $650,000 and continue to more than $2 million.

Freeways to nearby cities and centuries-old roads
Live Oak Canyon is a car-dependent area four miles from Redlands Community Hospital, 14 miles from San Bernardino and 11.5 miles from the San Bernardino International Airport. Close to the 10 and 215 Freeways, places like Riverside, Highland and the University of Redlands are easy to reach. San Timoteo Canyon Road, a thoroughfare used for hundreds of years, runs through the neighborhood, as does Live Oak Canyon Road. “There are train tracks that run right through the canyon, so there’s some noise and some traffic because of the train stopping people,” says Guiterrez. There’s no public transit in the area, but bus stops line Brookside Avenue, around four miles away. Sidewalks connect the Smiley Heights subdivision but aren’t found in some of the other housing developments, making local trails the main walking paths in Live Oak Canyon.

Environmental factors and crime
Live Oak Canyon has a CAP Index score of 2 out of 10, half the national average of 4. Both property and violent crimes are below the average, but there are other factors to consider before relocating to the canyon. The area has very high risks of wildfires and earthquakes, meaning home and fire insurance prices can be higher than average.
