College town in the heart of the Inland Empire

Valley College is a community centered around San Bernardino Valley College, a community college that was founded in 1926. Valley College is just minutes from Base Line Street, “one of the area’s largest streets that crosses several cities,” says Hugo Chinchay, a real estate agent at Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty with over 20 years of experience. “As its name says, Base Line Street was the base of the Inland Empire,” Chinchay says. In addition to the college campus, Valley College consists of residential, retail and industrial spaces.
