Ontario sits at the geographic and economic heart of the Inland Empire in San Bernardino County, roughly 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. With a population of over 180,000, it's home to Ontario International Airport (ONT), the Ontario Mills mega-mall, and massive logistics and industrial corridors that drive one of the region's strongest job markets.
The crown jewel is Ontario Ranch — a 8,200-acre master-planned community in south Ontario featuring brand-new construction, award-winning schools, and resort-style parks. Central Ontario offers classic California bungalows near historic Euclid Avenue, while the northern neighborhoods provide quick access to the 210 freeway and foothill communities.
The median home in Ontario sells for $727,000, with an average of 70 days on market and about 2 offers per listing. At $409/sq ft, Ontario remains one of the IE's most accessible markets. Over 1,056 homes sold in the past year confirm strong demand.
Home prices range from around $350,000 for starter homes to $1,200,000+ for premium properties in Ontario Ranch.
