Community within the city

Rich in culture and community, Alessandro is one of the many package-sized neighborhoods in San Bernardino, California's 18th most populous city. Despite the location within a larger city, businesses here tend to be locally owned. Residents often frequent the storefronts dispersed throughout the neighborhood such as Best Market or regional chain El Super, and then pick up takeout from family-owned restaurant Mitla Cafe. Realtor Joel Espinoza of the eXp Realty Group relays how friendly the community is: “That's what comes to mind–every time I was in the area, the neighbors always made it a pleasant experience.” Most houses here were constructed during the mid-20th century, reflected by the ranch-style homes that line the streets. An occasional Spanish Colonial home may also be found, a callback to the area's Spanish Missionary roots. Prices range from $350,000 to $550,000. To venture outside the neighborhood, locals are a 2.2-mile drive away from downtown San Bernardino, the city's central business district.

Several shopping plazas populate the neighborhood, offering everything from groceries to laundry. Locals can shop at El Super for groceries. For other needs, residents have the option of visiting big brand names such as CVS and Walgreens. When it comes to cuisine, family-owned businesses in Alessandro take the spotlight. Las Cuatro Milpas, a staple in the community, offers homemade Mexican cuisine, with tamales as a fan favorite. Mitla Cafe is another popular option. Established in 1937, this restaurant has served four generations of residents and remains an iconic location to this day.

Something for everyone

Our Lady of Guadalupe Church is a cornerstone of the community and an important location for generations of families. The church often hosts events such as complimentary food on Sundays, raffles and community service activities. The Villasenor library branch holds recurring events every week for all age groups. Children can enjoy weekend storytimes, arts & crafts and tutoring help. For fun that takes place outside of the neighborhood, San Bernardino offers multiple events across the city. Some of the most popular are the Starlight Cinema, Sizzling Summer Nights and Memorial Day Ceremony. About 4.5 miles away from Alessandro is the Roosevelt Bowl, which hosts a diverse range of live music acts including performances by the San Bernardino Orchestra and regular Jazz Nights. Renovation plans are taking shape which should bring even more events in the future.

Easy highway access

Residents are about a 2-mile drive away from Interstate 215. This 54-mile-long highway runs through San Bernardino, which makes the neighborhood ideal for commuting. As described by Realtor Joel Espinoza, "One of the major perks is that it definitely has convenient highway access. I personally live about 30 minutes away, but it was easy to get around." For public transportation, West 9th Street and West 5th Street have multiple bus stops along the road, varying by schedule. Some shopping plazas may be a walkable distance from residential streets.
