Semi-rural Inland Empire suburb above San Bernardino

In the San Bernardino Mountain foothills, the sometimes-overlooked area of Muscoy is a San Bernardino suburb immediately north of the city. People have room to move here, thanks to large lots, and many homes have scenic views of the mountains and desert. Many live and work in the community, as light industrial plants and warehouses line the eastern border. Developed in the 1890s as an agricultural area, the neighborhood began transitioning from rural to suburban in the 1950s. “Muscoy is a rural area with older traditional homes. It has a lower cost of living than some San Bernardino suburbs and is centrally located to the 210 and 215 Freeways,” says Patricia Rocha, a Crown Royal Real Estate broker with over two decades of experience. Centrally located in the Inland Empire, Muscoy combines natural beauty with the convenience of being five miles from downtown.

Established housing with plenty of space

Muscoy has a wide variety of housing thanks to steady building from the 1950s through the early 2000s. Most homes were built in the 1950s as GIs returned from WWII, and their midcentury styles have made their mark on the area. Newer homes have Spanish-inspired elements, like terracotta roof tiles, ranch-style architecture or both. Depending on the part of the area, there are some large lots for homebuyers wanting acreage. “It’s a really good neighborhood for first-time homebuyers,” says Realtor Maria Murray at McDermott Realty Group. Prices range from $300,000 to nearly $1 million depending on the acreage bought with a home, but the median price is $445,000. Homes typically sell after 43 or fewer days on the market.

Athletic fields, skateparks and raceways

Delmann Heights Park covers almost 20 acres and contains a community center, swimming pool and playground areas. Filled with athletic opportunities, there are softball diamonds, a football field and a tetherball court for all ages to enjoy. Frisbie Park lies just across the Foothill Freeway in Rialto. Its skatepark is popular for practicing tricks, while a dog park lets pups run off-leash. Primarily used for sports, the park has basketball courts and numerous baseball/softball diamonds. There are several playgrounds, as well. Slightly north of Muscoy, the Glen Helen Raceway has been hosting off-road races since 1985. The raceway is home to four motocross tracks and is part of the Glen Helen Regional Park. This green space, with two fishing lakes, swimming pools and multiple hiking trails, has activities for everyone.

Houses of worship

Almost a dozen Protestant churches dot the neighborhood, with many having bilingual services. Muscoy is also home to the masjid Dar Al Uloom Al Islamiya of America and two Buddhist temples: Wat Chao and Watt Ratanakiwong.

Environmental factors

Muscoy has a high risk of wildfires and earthquakes. To protect people and property, the city is working to install seismic detectors and backup generators at water substations while keeping flammable debris to a minimum.

It is not a very good place to live, but the house are less expensive than other houses outside of this city. Recalling can be on of the main things that can help make it more healthy . this is not a very good place but it has opportunities for everyone that need the help. I see in the future that this city San Bernardino will stay the same if the people don't want to help , and they want to ignore

The safety in this neighborhood is not very good. People walking in the streets get beat up. There are abounded cars which are broken in to and destroyed.

Muscoy California may not be the most appealing destination on the map but many of the people here are great and trustworthy. I've been living here my entire life and I do drive around and see better neighborhoods but my home is what keeps me humble. Safety is not the best and I would like to see more road precaution and better safety overall for kids and students in public schools.
