Location
Characteristics: Big Bear Valley is composed of numerous small towns. A true
four season resort with winter skiing and summer lake activities. The area is
driven by weekend and holiday visitors. As many as 100,000 visitors will flock
to it's beauty during the 1st snow expected around the 1st week of November or
4th of July weekend or for annual carshows or snowboarding events. It is the
only year round vacation area within 2-3 hour driving distance of LA, Orange,
Riverside, San Diego Counties and is swiftly earning the nickname of "the next
little Aspen" The Big Bear area is made up of primarily 2nd or 3rd homeowners
and varies in price from around $25,000 to 6.5 million. Few areas offer year
round vacation activities combined with real property appreciation and excellent
portioned rental incomes allowing the owner use and enjoyment as well as tax
advantages.
