Foothills Apple Country
Welcome to Yucaipa, the San Bernardino County city in the foothills below Mount San Gorgonio—known for its regional park, mountain views, and apple-country neighbor Oak Glen.
Yucaipa is a city in San Bernardino County, California, located about ten miles east of San Bernardino at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains, with Mount San Gorgonio—Southern California's highest peak—rising to the north. With about 54,500 residents, it is a foothill community whose identity blends small-town civic life, outdoor recreation, and a long agricultural past. The city's name derives from the Serrano word "Yukaipa't," and the valley was historically a center of ranching and apple growing, a heritage that lives on in the orchards of nearby Oak Glen. The city's growth into a residential suburb of the Inland Empire has been steady, with its population rising from about 51,000 in 2010 to 54,542 in the 2020 census. Yucaipa retains a distinct, slightly removed character from the denser San Bernardino valley below, with hillside neighborhoods, open space, and a compact historic downtown. The Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District, which also serves Calimesa and Oak Glen, educates local students across a network of elementary, middle, and high schools. Recreation is a defining asset. Yucaipa Regional Park, part of the San Bernardino County regional parks system, offers lakes, fishing, camping, and trails with panoramic views of the mountains, while the Yucaipa Community Center hosts programs and events. Oak Glen's apple orchards and the nearby San Bernardino National Forest add seasonal and outdoor depth. The city's position between the mountains and the valley, with Redlands to the west and the freeway network nearby, makes it a practical foothill home base. For buyers seeking mountain views, parks, and a family-oriented community at the eastern edge of the Inland Empire, Yucaipa is a well-established choice.
