Northgate is set front-and-center to the growing heart of the city
Surrounded by the San Bernardino Mountains and set on the major Foothill Boulevard, Northgate is a Fontana suburb featuring two-story older homes at lower prices than many other areas of the Inland Empire. The average home price here is about $550,00 compared to the Inland Empire's average of $650,000. There are several nearby grocery stores and one neighborhood park, and several major freeways are within 10 miles, including Interstates 15 and 210.
Downtown Fontana is just south of Northgate and slated for revitalization as a dining and entertainment center—but isn't quite there yet. “As it stands today, there aren’t a lot of immediate shopping and dining options downtown,” says Javier Ramirez, Re/Max Top Producers Broker with 20 years of experience in the region. "Rancho Cucamonga and Ontario offer a lot more options, between Victoria Gardens and Ontario Mills." Both of these major shopping malls are within 7 miles of the neighborhood.
Retro homes set side-by-side
Northgate was developed as a planned community in the 1980s, its residential streets laid out on a grid and lined with close-set homes and manicured lawns. The two-to-four-bedroom homes here date to the '80s and '90s and are either single-story ranch-style or two-story Craftsman- and Spanish-style; some have carports, while others have attached two-car garages. The ranch-style homes range from $400,000 to $450,000, while the Craftsman-style homes range from $600,000 to $700,000; lot sizes range between 4,000 and 5,000 square feet. Northgate's average home price is $563,000, compared to $668,000 in Fontana as a whole, $715,000 in Riverside and $844,000 in Corona.

Extreme heat and air quality warnings
Due to Fontana's desert climate and urban heat-trapping factors like concrete and asphalt, the neighborhood is prone to severe heat waves. The Air Quality Index in the city reaches an AQI of over 100 on certain days of the year, meaning people with sensitive respiratory systems should limit their time outdoors on those days.
