Alessandro is a small neighborhood in San Bernardino with rich ties to the community. A strong local business scene, with longstanding institutions like Mitla Cafe, helps create a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Major highways like U.S. Route 66 connect the neighborhood to the rest of the Inland Empire, and schools, shops and parks are a short drive away.
Ranch-style homes make up most of the housing market, with most dating to the mid-20th century. Newer properties have Spanish influences, such as red-tile roofs. Homes are close together, with a median lot size of 6,500 square feet, but that proximity gives residents a chance to know their neighbors. Realtor Joel Espinoza with Realty Masters says the community’s friendliness is what makes it stand out. “That’s what comes to mind – every time I was in the area, the neighbors always made it a pleasant experience,” he says. Prices generally range from the low $300,000s to the low $500,000s. The median for single-family homes is in the low $400,000s, which is less expensive than in nearby areas like Shirrells. Over half of the residents rent.
If you’re craving Mexican food, you can head to Mitla Cafe, a San Bernardino landmark along Route 66. It opened its doors in 1937 and has remained in the same family for four generations. There are a handful of other eateries nearby, including:
Most Alessandro residents rely on cars to get around, especially because Route 66 runs through the neighborhood and Interstate 215 is nearby. “One of the major perks is that it definitely has convenient highway access,” Espinoza says. While he doesn’t live in Alessandro, he has worked in the area and says, “It was easy to get around.” You can reach downtown San Bernardino in about 2 miles (five minutes) and Downtown LA in 60 miles (90 minutes). Public transportation is available through Omnitrans buses and the nearby Metrolink Train Station.
As part of the San Bernardino City Unified School District, students are zoned for Arroyo Valley High School. In addition to International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement courses, the school offers career academies in fields such as digital media arts and visual and performing arts. Both the high school and the district receive a B-minus from Niche.
When you want some fresh air, you can head to Nunez Park for amenities like a playground, basketball courts and a Little League field. There’s also a swimming pool and a recreation center with a full calendar of programs. Villasenor Library hosts even more clubs and events throughout the year, ranging from storytime to puzzle days. Senior League baseball teams practice at the Guadalupe-Sal Saavedra Field in the middle of the neighborhood. La Plaza Park is also in the area and hosts community events like an annual Veterans’ Day celebration.
