Lower housing prices draw people to the area

Single-story homes make up most of the neighborhood. You’ll find mid-20th-century ranch-style houses with stucco exteriors that are down the road from older Craftsman bungalows and cottages. Many homes have been renovated over the years. Wide driveways lead to detached garages and carports, and there is room for street parking. Prices generally range from the low $300,000s to the low $600,000s. The median single-family price is in the mid-$400,000s, which is less expensive than in Valencia. “The number one reason people come to Wilson is the lower cost of living,” says Faviola Nieves, broker and CEO of Prosperity Real Estate & Associates, with over 15 years of experience. “It’s a nicer area for the price.”

There are some older cottages that date back to the 1930s.

Wilson is about 5 minutes from downtown San Bernardino

Part of Wilson’s appeal is its location. “It’s centrally located by downtown and the freeways, but it’s less crowded than downtown,” Nieves says. You can reach downtown San Bernardino in just over a mile (5 minutes). The Foothill Freeway, which goes through the neighborhood, and Interstate 215 make it easy to commute across the valley and into Downtown LA, about 60 miles (90 minutes) away. Public transportation is also available, with Omnitrans buses stopping in Wilson and at the San Bernardino Transit Center, where you can hop on the Metrolink Train.
