Renting an Apartment in San Bernadino
San Bernardino is the county seat of San Bernardino County, California,
United States. San Bernardino's estimated population, as of 2006, is 205,010.
As of 2006, it was the 18th largest city in California, and the 101st largest
city in the United States. San Bernardino is part of the Riverside-San
Bernardino-Ontario Metropolitan Area, the 14th largest metro in the nation also
part of the Greater San Bernardino Area which is just referred to divid the San
Bernardino-Riverside Area counties (San Bernardino Coubty and Riverside County).
It is an anchor city of the Inland Empire. San Bernardino has three major
events, the annual Route 66 Rendezvous, a multi-day classic automobile event
held in downtown San Bernardino each September, the National Orange Show, held
each April/May, and the Western Regional Little League Championships each
August. The world's largest fast food chain, McDonald's, began in the city in
1940 by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald.
Though the closing of Norton Air Force Base and Kaiser Steel, as well as the
relocation of railroad jobs in the 1980s and 1990s had a large impact on the
economy and culture of the city, new industrial development is occurring near
the San Bernardino International Airport. Though traditional retail and office
areas such as downtown and Highland Avenue have suffered, the City is seeing
growth along its south-end focused on Hospitality Lane. Though much of the
housing stock is, on the average, older than the surrounding region, new homes
continue to be built in different parts of the City, with the bulk on the
north-end in the Verdemont area.
San Bernardino's neighborhoods are not commonly named. Some neighborhoods
reflect tract names or geographical regions that existed before annexation. Del
Rosa is the area generally between the foothills, Highland Avenue, Mountain and
Arden Avenue, and includes unincorporated county islands. Delmann Heights is the
area north of Highland Avenue, west of the 215, and east of the unincorporated
area of Muscoy, California (which is within the city's sphere of influence for
annexation). Some portions of Highland are within the City of San Bernardino,
generally consistent with the portions of historical "West Highlands" north of
Highland Avenue. The city also contains the post office for Patton, California,
the area coextensive with Patton State Hospital, a medium-security facility for
sexually-violent mentally ill patients. Mountain Shadows originally was the
development name for the area between Palm Avenue and Highland Avenue to State
Route 330; today it generally means the mobile-home park of the same name. The
"west side" is used generically to refer to the areas west of the 215 freeway.
North Loma Linda is the area west of Mountain View (the border with Redlands),
south of the Santa Ana River, North of the 10 freeway, and east of Tippecanoe
Avenue. The area north of Northpark Avenue is sometimes referred to as Northpark.
The area northwest of University Parkway, and north of Kendall Avenue to the
city limits in Devore is called Verdemont. The neighborhood around Hemlock near
Del Rosa is sometimes commonly called "Holcolmb Hill" in reference to former
Mayor W.R. "Bob" Holcolmb, a long-time resident. The City of San Bernardino
briefly (circa 2002) referred to the area immediately north of the Feldheym
Library as "Old Towne," but the name is neither historically accurate, nor
organic in any way. The "Bench" or "Rialto Bench" refers to the area with Rialto
mailing addresses between Foothill Boulevard and Base Line, which is elevated
over the wash.
Government, retail, and service industries dominate the economy of the City of
San Bernardino. Light manufacturing and warehouses dominate portions of the
City, particularly near California State University and San Bernardino
International Airport.
