Newberry Springs rewards residents with big-sky horizons, historic Route 66 character, and room to spread out in a high-desert setting. Set in San Bernardino County, this rural community sits off I‑40 just east of Barstow, where alfalfa fields and spring-fed, private recreation lakes create a surprising ribbon of green along the Mojave River. Clear nights make stargazing routine, while sunrise paddles or water-ski sessions are part of everyday life for many locals. Film buffs still make pilgrimages to the Bagdad Cafe, the cult-classic landmark on the Mother Road.
Outdoor adventure is abundant. Sand washes and open BLM land attract off‑roaders, and the nearby Newberry Mountains Wilderness offers volcanic hillsides, slot canyons, and sweeping views. A quick drive leads to the vast Mojave Trails National Monument, where lava flows and desert flora frame iconic stretches of Route 66, while family day trips to Calico Ghost Town deliver living history and seasonal festivals. For broader shopping and services, residents look to Victorville and the civic amenities of San Bernardino.
Families are served by the Silver Valley Unified School District, including Newberry Springs Elementary and district secondary schools, known for tight-knit campuses and wide participation in arts and athletics. Housing ranges from modest homesteads to acreage properties with workshops, barns, or lake access—ideal for hobby farmers, equestrians, and anyone who prizes privacy.
