San Bernardino
San Bernardino is the county seat and the largest city in the Inland Empire, covering 81 square miles from the valley floor up into the San Bernardino National Forest. Housing runs the full range, from early-twentieth-century bungalows around the historic core, to ranch and Spanish Revival pockets in Del Rosa and Shandin Hills, to newer foothill construction in Verdemont. The city's footprint, freeway access at the 10, 215, and 210, and its role as the regional government and university hub keep demand broad across many price points.

Schools
Most of San Bernardino is served by San Bernardino City Unified School District, one of the ten largest districts in the state. Pockets on the east side fall under Redlands Unified. California State University, San Bernardino and San Bernardino Valley College anchor higher education on the north and central sides of the city.
Amenities and access
Downtown San Bernardino is the regional government center and is home to San Manuel Stadium, the city's minor league ballpark.

The 10, 215, and 210 freeways all meet inside the city, and the San Bernardino National Forest sits directly north for hiking, the Rim of the World, and access to Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear.
