Cajon’s established homes and highly rated school are by the mountains

Cajon is a suburban neighborhood in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. While its scenic views and established homes are what draw people to the area, it’s the sense of community that encourages people to stay for decades. The highly rated Cajon High School is located in the neighborhood, and California State University, San Bernardino is a few minutes away. When you’re not spending time in the mountains, you can head into San Bernardino for dinner at one of the local restaurants or to attend one of the many events throughout the year.

Close-knit community lives in ranch-style homes and Spanish Revivals

Homes date back to the mid-20th century, including stucco ranch-style houses with tile roofs. There are also more modern Spanish Revivals. Prices range from the mid-$300,000s to the low $600,000s. The median single-family price is in the mid-$500,000s, which is slightly higher than in Arrowhead Farms. “Cajon has a stable market, with homes selling quickly,” says Realtor Kathy Thomson with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, who has over two decades of experience. “People move here because homes hold their value.” While the housing is what draws residents to the area, it’s the neighbors that make them stay. “Cajon is a beautiful foothill community,” Thomson says. “It’s very established, and a lot of the neighbors have been there for 40 years. It’s the type of place where people will pull in your trash cans if needed; a really close-knit area.”

Spanish Revivals come with stucco exteriors and red-tile roofs.
