Ranch-style homes with updated amenities fill the neighborhood

Cul-de-sacs and gridded streets fill the neighborhood, and many homes are within walking distance of the country club. Ranch-style houses make up most of the market. While they were built between the 1940s and the 1960s, they have been renovated over the years. Prices generally range from the mid-$500,000s to the mid-$900,000s. The median single-family home price is in the mid-$600,000s, which is slightly more expensive than in Golden Valley. Realtor Jeff Teel with Progressive Properties, who’s been working in the area for over 25 years, says that Nena has “some of the best home values in San Bernardino.”

Arrowhead Country Club is open to the public

The heart of Arrowhead Country Club is the 18-hole championship golf course designed by William P. Bell. The club opened as a members-only facility in 1924 but has since opened its doors to the public, offering day passes for golfing and the aquatics center. There are a handful of local parks in the area, including Harrison Canyon Park, which has basketball courts and a playground. The nearby Wildwood Park includes a dog park, baseball fields and picnic shelters. Nature lovers are only a short drive from the sprawling San Bernardino National Forest and Lake Arrowhead.
