Chino Real Estate Agent for Buyers & Sellers

Chino sits in the southwest corner of San Bernardino County, where the 60 (Pomona Freeway) and the 71 (Chino Valley Freeway) meet and Euclid Avenue, State Route 83, runs north into Ontario. Ontario International Airport is a short drive away, and Omnitrans buses from the Chino Transit Center at 6th Street and Chino Avenue connect to the Montclair Transit Center for Metrolink trains. The 60 heads west into Los Angeles County, and the 71 runs south to the 91 and Orange County.

For much of the last century this was dairy and farm country. From the 1950s through the 1980s, Chino was the largest milk-producing community in California, and that history still explains the housing map. Central and north Chino are mostly established neighborhoods of mid-century and ranch-style homes, often on roomier lots than newer tracts and usually without HOA dues. South Chino, on former agricultural preserve land, is where most new construction has gone since the 2000s, led by the master-planned community of The Preserve.

Public schools in the city belong to Chino Valley Unified School District, and Chaffey College runs its Chino Campus on Central Avenue beside the College Park community. Ruben S. Ayala Park is where many youth sports leagues play, Prado Regional Park adds fishing, picnic areas and open space at the edge of the Prado Basin, and the Chino Creek Wetlands and Educational Park offers 1.7 miles of trails through restored wetlands. Chino Airport is home to two well-known aviation museums, Planes of Fame and Yanks Air Museum, and the 1850s Yorba–Slaughter Adobe is one of the oldest standing buildings in the county.

For shopping, the Chino Spectrum Towne Center lines Grand Avenue along the 71 at the Chino Hills border. Because Chino mixes decades-old ranch homes with brand-new construction, values swing a lot from one neighborhood to the next.
