Mountainside suburb

Known to many film fans as the setting for “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure,” San Dimas offers a small-town feel within reach of Los Angeles and the Inland Empire. Residents cite its schools, scenic landscapes and connected location as a few reasons why San Dimas is the best place to be. “We like to say it has an old town feel with a 21st-century vibe; you just get so much value out here between the schools, the community and the natural beauty,” says Jason Lorge, Realtor with Keller Williams and one-half of the Mr. and Mrs. San Dimas Real Estate team, along with his wife Briana. “And the location makes it easy to get to Downtown LA, San Bernardino or Orange County – we’ve lived here for decades and don’t want to leave.”

Varied housing options

Housing in San Dimas primarily reflects a decidedly nostalgic feel, with palm trees lining neighborhood streets and views of the San Gabriel Mountains. “Most of the homes were built in the 1960s and 1980s, and that’s part of the older charm the area has,” says Linda Ojeda, a John Hart Real Estate agent with over 25 years of experience in the area. “A lot of the homes are bigger with more open floorplans than you might find nearby.” Housing in the area mainly comes in the form of established ranch-styles and craftsman-inspired single-story homes, though there are some more modern contemporary two-story builds as well. Townhouses and condominiums are also available. The median price for a home in San Dimas is $890,000.

San Dimas Schools

San Dimas is served by the Bonita Unified School District, which earns an A grade from Niche. “This district is a huge selling point for buyers in San Dimas,” Ojeda says. Elementary students often start at Allen Avenue Elementary, which also carries an A rating. Lone Hill Middle, another A-rated school, is the city’s only middle school. San Dimas High School, graded A-minus on Niche, has received California Distinguished School recognition three times.

Parks and hiking

Just south of the San Gabriel Mountains, residents can enjoy the abundant open space, from foothill trails to the Angeles National Forest to city parks and golf courses. Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park and Puddingstone Lake support year-round fishing, boating and biking. San Dimas Canyon Park offers nature walks and wildlife observation in a quieter environment. San Dimas Canyon Golf Course, near the foothills, provides scenic fairways framed by mountains. The city is also home to Raging Waters Los Angeles, one of the largest water parks in the state and is open from May through September.

Though its proximity is close enough for commuters to travel to work within the greater Los Angeles area, annual gatherings such as the San Dimas Festival of Arts emphasize the city's tight-knit community atmosphere. The festival features art exhibits, live music and cultural showcases. The San Dimas Western Days Rodeo, held in autumn, celebrates the city’s Western heritage with rodeo competitions, a parade and family-friendly activities.

Commuting and transportation

Interstates 10 and 210 surround San Dimas while state route 57 cuts through it. They all provide routes to Los Angeles, San Bernardino or Orange County. “San Dimas is a great middle point,” says Ojeda. “It’s 25 minutes to downtown LA and 25 minutes to the Inland Empire.” Though commute times still depend on traffic and time of day, there’s relatively little through traffic within San Dimas itself. Foothill Transit provides bus routes that connect to neighboring areas and Metro stations. An upcoming Los Angeles Metro Rail extension, slated for early 2025, is expected to link directly to Pasadena and Downtown LA.

Crime

San Dimas maintains a relatively low crime rate compared to larger metropolitan areas. Violent crimes are less common, with property crimes such as theft and burglary occurring at a higher frequency, yet still lower than national averages.

As with other foothill communities in Los Angeles County, wildfire risk can rise during the dry season, prompting residents and officials to focus on brush clearance and readiness measures.
