Step 2 of 2
Much of north Fontana was built after 2000 in master-planned communities like Hunter's Ridge, Coyote Canyon and the area along Sierra Lakes Parkway near the 210. The city also annexed several older unincorporated areas in the mid-2000s. In the south, Southridge sits near the Jurupa Hills, and the blocks around downtown and the Pacific Electric Trail are older still. The old Kaiser Steel site, later the Auto Club Speedway, is just outside the city.
Warehouses next door. Fontana's economy runs heavily on logistics. In 2019 the California Air Resources Board advised the city against putting housing within 1,000 feet of industrial warehouses because of diesel truck pollution. If a distribution center went up behind your house, that's the kind of thing a cash offer takes into account.
Wind and heat. Santa Ana winds blow through the nearby Cajon Pass, and summer temperatures can top 100°F. Fences, roofs and AC units wear out faster.
Faults in the north. The Cucamonga Fault Zone runs along the base of the San Gabriels through Hunter's Ridge and Coyote Canyon. It can show up on natural-hazard disclosure reports for nearby properties.
Fontana is also where much of the county's probate happens. The San Bernardino Superior Court's Fontana District, 17780 Arrow Boulevard, files and hears decedents' estates and trusts for the valley, including Fontana itself and, since 2024, the city of San Bernardino. The San Bernardino County Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk keeps the recorded deed and processes the change in ownership. If a son or daughter keeps the house, Proposition 19 generally requires them to live in it within a year to keep the parent's assessed value.
