About Redlands
Redlands, CA — Where History, Character, and Real Estate Converge
Redlands is unlike any other city in the Inland Empire. Queen Anne Victorians line the historic Smiley Park and Redlands Historic District neighborhoods, the University of Redlands anchors a genuine college town founded in 1907, and a walkable historic downtown of restaurants, boutiques, and the famed Redlands Bowl creates a livability that is increasingly rare in Southern California. Landmarks like the 1897 Kimberly Crest House, the Morey Mansion, and the 1898 A.K. Smiley Public Library remind you every day that you live somewhere with real history.
With a citywide median home price around $625,000, homes selling in 55 days, and a median of about $397 per square foot, Redlands runs at a steady, balanced pace. Long-term, the numbers are even more striking — Redlands has averaged roughly 7 percent annual home value appreciation over the last decade, ranking it among the more consistent residential investment markets in San Bernardino County. Located in San Bernardino County just east of the 10 freeway and the 215 interchange, Redlands serves as a hub for professionals, families, and move-up buyers who want a city with genuine character — not just a bedroom community.

What Makes Redlands Different
Three Things That Drive Real Estate Value in Redlands
Historic Character and Architecture
Redlands has the most architecturally significant residential stock in the Inland Empire — Queen Anne Victorians, Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Colonial Revival, and Mediterranean estates that cannot be replicated in newer developments. Buyers who want genuine character pay a premium for it, and well-maintained historic properties command prices that reflect the rarity of the product.
University and Employer Anchors
The University of Redlands anchors the city’s intellectual and cultural life — and so does Esri, the global GIS software leader headquartered here. Together they drive consistent housing demand from faculty, staff, graduate students, and tech professionals. This anchor-employer demand provides stability that pure residential markets lack, supporting home values through cycles that hit other Inland Empire communities harder.
Arrow Rail and Commuter Access
Since October 2022, Metrolink’s Arrow service has connected Redlands to the regional rail network through five new stations — Redlands-Downtown, Redlands-University, and Redlands-Esri among them. With direct connections to the San Bernardino Line at Downtown San Bernardino, Redlands commuters can reach LA Union Station by train. For buyers who want character and value but still need to reach LA or Orange County, this infrastructure advantage continues to pull buyers from denser markets along the I-10 corridor.
