A tranquil suburb near Lake Arrowhead

Set in the shadows of the San Bernardino Mountains, Nena is a well-established San Bernardino suburb built around the 18-hole Arrowhead Golf Course. Primarily residential, the neighborhood's 20-mile proximity to Lake Arrowhead and the San Bernardino National Forest is a major draw for skiers, hikers and boaters — folks might notice kayaks adorning the roofs of their neighbors' cars or small motorboats hooked behind them. Golfers enjoy sharing the neighborhood with a sprawling public course, as most neighbors here are within a short walking distance to the greenways. The single-family, single-story homes here reflect the midcentury boom, offering "some of the best home values in San Bernardino," says Progressive Properties Realtor Jeff Teel. Highly rated San Bernardino schools are within walking distance for most residents.

Established '40s ranch-style homes

Set along streets laid out in neat grids with cul-de-sacs and sidewalks, ranch-style homes from the 1940s and '50s take up most of the housing landscape. Many homes have lush, well-maintained lawns, brick accents, gabled roofing and attached garages; most have mountain views and backyard pools. Some of the renovated two- to three-bedroom homes are set on 20,000 to 30,000-square-foot lots, starting at around $550,000 and $570,000 depending on lot size and renovations. Three-bedroom homes on lots of up to a quarter acre cost between $600,000 and $650,000. Three- and four-bedroom homes set closest to the golf course can cost between $900,000 and $1.2 million, set on larger lots of up to two acres.

18-hole public golf course

Established in 1924, the Arrowhead Country Club offers thousands of yards of green fairways surrounded by mountain views. "It used to be private, but it's been a lot busier since coming under new ownership in 2017," says Carlo Flores, a sales associate for the country club. "Now folks can buy a day pass and tee off whenever they want to." The 6-acre Harrison Canyon Park is set on the northeast corner of Nena, featuring two basketball courts and a walking trail that spans a quarter mile. Residents can head to the 24-acre Wildwood Park to walk their dogs or catch a clear glimpse of the distinctive arrowhead-shaped rock formation, a natural 450-feet-wide landmark on the southern face of the San Bernardino Mountains. Nearby, pristine alpine getaways like Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake offer miles of hiking and outdoor activities.
