Escape to this private, beautiful mountain resort town full of rustic cabins and premier resorts
Dubbed "The Alps of Southern California," Lake Arrowhead is an unincorporated town composed of six communities and flanked by the majestic San Bernardino Mountains, Lake Arrowhead Reservoir, and the National Forest. A cozy, beautiful mountain resort town, Lake Arrowhead is a peaceful place to live with incredible outdoor recreational activities like backpacking, hiking, biking, fishing, skiing, and more.
Founded in the 1920s, this historic community touts a mix of outlet stores, specialty boutiques, restaurants, and waterfront shops. Lake Arrowhead is an exciting communal hub for residents and tourists alike. With so many things to do and sights to see, tourism has become a significant income source for the area, providing hundreds of jobs and contributing millions of dollars per year to the county. Each year, Lake Arrowhead sees more than 4 million tourists—many of whom are attracted to the Lake Arrowhead Country Club and Golf Course, Yacht Club, and SkyPark.
A relatively small town with a significant focus on tourism, housing costs in Lake Arrowhead are substantially higher than most places in the country. That said, compared to some of the most expensive, affluent communities in California, Lake Arrowhead is on the more affordable end of the spectrum. Residents in this diverse community typically work in sales, with telecommuters making up a large portion of the workforce.
A popular vacation destination, many residents own vacation homes and are only in-town during certain seasons. Lake Arrowhead typically becomes much busier and more lively during the vacation season. When the season ends, people leave behind a much quieter town. In fact, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere is one of the community's more attractive attributes.
Cedar Glen and Town Center are two of Lake Arrowhead's most popular neighborhoods.
