Lytle Creek is a forested escape not far from city limits
Encompassed by the San Bernardino National Forest, Lytle Creek settles within a quiet valley and is named for the rushing waterway that's central to life here. Though a remote part of San Bernardino County, it's still well connected to more urban areas, attracting those who want the fresh air and slower pace outside the city. "We've seen a lot of residents from Los Angeles come to Lytle Creek to kind of get away from the hustle but still be within driving distance," says Crystal Hoggard of eXp Commercial, who sells homes in the neighborhood. "You feel like you're in a different world, but you're literally 15 minutes from the 210 freeway."
Lytle Creek homes provide a peaceful retreat with easy access to nature and city conveniences.

Custom homes built by the creek, and lots to build on
Residential areas follow the creek's bend as it passes through the region. Custom-built properties rest on modest lots, some expressing farmhouse styles, others looking like cabins. Streetscapes are winding like mountain trails as they meander through the woody valley. Some people have their own fruit trees and private wells and can hear the creek rushing by with a clear view from their windows. Prices range from the high $100,000s to $200,000s for significant rehab properties. Move-in-ready homes range from the low $400,000s to the high $600,000s, depending on their condition and proximity to the creek. Homes are on the vintage side, with a median build year of 1958. But lots are still available for those who want to build a new home.
