Downtown Hesperia offers urban amenities in a desert setting

This San Bernardino County neighborhood is a hub for businesses and restaurants in the heart of the High Desert. With Hesperia Civic Plaza Park downtown and Main Street’s shopping centers, residents can feel a sense of community and accessibility in an otherwise suburban, sparse landscape. “It’s decently quiet and not as much of a metropolitan area as San Diego or Los Angeles,” says Derek Wood, a Realtor with Pleasant Hill Real Estate Group, who has three years of experience selling in the High Desert region. “But plenty of new things are coming, and it’s getting more popular. You’ve got a lot of land and a strong economy here.” With proximity to Interstate 15 and the Cajon Pass — a key route through the San Bernardino and San Gabriel mountain ranges — Downtown Hesperia is both a convenient home base and a gateway to large Southern California cities.

The neighborhood has ranch-style homes at competitive prices

The roads north and south of Main Street are primarily residential, and sand covers most of the land, apart from paved roads. The market consists of ranch-style homes with Spanish and Mediterranean influences, such as red-tiled roofs and stucco facades that combat High Desert temperatures. Depending on lot size and renovations, prices tend to fall between $300,000 and $650,000. “It’s very affordable for California, although I’m sure in the coming years, prices will skyrocket,” Wood says. “Buyers are always looking for that edge, where you have a little wiggle room with prices, especially when homes are such an appreciating asset here.”
