Small Canyon balances hillside calm with easy access to the everyday energy of San Bernardino. Tucked against the lower San Bernardino Mountains on the city’s northeast side, the neighborhood offers dramatic ridgeline views and quick connections along the 210 corridor to nearby Highland and Redlands. Outdoor time is a natural part of life here; trailheads and fire roads lead toward the chaparral, and bigger adventures are within reach in the adjacent San Bernardino National Forest, managed by the U.S. Forest Service, where you can hike, picnic, or simply soak up wide‑open scenery.
Families appreciate that public schools are operated by the San Bernardino City Unified School District, which offers neighborhood campuses, choice programs, and student support services. Local transit via Omnitrans links Small Canyon to employment hubs, shopping, and medical centers across the valley, while California State University, San Bernardino provides cultural events, continuing education, and Division II athletics just a short drive away. Day-to-day errands are straightforward, with markets and services along Highland and Baseline, and the neighborhood connects smoothly to nearby pockets like Del Rosa.
Whether you’re drawn by foothill air, room to roam, or convenient commuting, Small Canyon delivers a practical, mountain‑framed setting with a mellow pace.
