MOUNTAIN HOME VILLAGE

Following scenic Highway 38  you will find yourself in beautiful Mountain Home Village just before the tall pine treeline. Mountain Home Village is surrounded by National Forest with views that will take your breathe away.  This small quaint community offers fresh air, clean water, safe living and an opportunity to experience 3 seasons while rediscovering the beauty and diversity of nature.  While Mountain Home Village may receive snow, for some the lower elevation is sought after for the mountain life, but ease of the warmer temperatures.  The year 'round Mill Creek is just walking distance from any property in this community, with the wild blackberries growing close by. 


Elevation: 3,691 feet  
Population: Approximately 170 year 'round residents (2010)

 

Schools: The Yucaipa Calimesa Unified School District is the designated school district for Mountain Home Village.  However, our own Fallsvale Elementary School is operated by the Big Bear Unified School District and serves the communities of Angelus Oaks and Forest Falls with inter district transfers available for Mountain Home Village. Daily bus service is provided for a fee to Moore Junior High and Redlands East Valley High School, part of the Redlands Unified School District.

​

​

Natural Disasters: From time to time our area is subject to natural disasters with the results often being as inconvenient as a short term road closure to less frequent but more intense issues that can result from flooding, heavy winter storm, earthquake, wildfire and whatever else mother nature can throw at us. Maps and reports about actual and predicted disaster events can be viewed at either Gillmore Real Estate office.

​

Community: While seriously talking about natural disasters, one of our caveats is "we would rather dodge boulders than bullets" and what sets us apart from city folks is that we epitomize the definition of "community." When things are normal everyone goes about their busy lives but, to quote Joseph P. Kennedy, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going" and nowhere is that more obvious than in Angelus Oaks, Forest Falls and Mountain Home Village where neighbors take care of neighbors and various responses to disaster situations have been planned and rehearsed over the years.  Visit www.forestalls.com for more information on the area.

​

Wildlife:  Black Bears, Big Horn Sheep, Bobcats, Mountain Lions, Raccoons, Grey Squirrels, Scrub Jays are just a few animals you will see wander our forests.  We like to remind our community that a fed bear, is a dead bear.  We encourage our tenants and property owners to lock up their trash to avoid bears becoming too familiar with our community, which leads to them being trapped and either relocated or put down. We love our forest and animals and would like to enjoy these wild animals for years and years to come.
