Cabins and condos
Houses account for 140 listings, apartments 10 and land 2. Three-bedroom homes lead (63), followed by two-bedroom (42), four-bedroom (25), five or more (14) and one-bedroom (8). Condos are scarce, so most buyers are looking at a cabin on its own lot.
The price range from €423,520 to €768,729 across the middle half reflects location: lakefront and ski-adjacent cabins sit at the top, while smaller homes further from the village and slopes are cheaper.

Mountain living
The two ski areas draw crowds from Southern California on winter weekends, and summers bring boating, hiking and mountain biking. Many homes are second homes, often let to visitors. Rules on short-term rentals in the city are strict and change, so confirm permit availability before assuming income.
Mountain risks are real: snow loading, steep driveways, road closures, wildfire and insurance availability. Roads climb steeply from the valley, and tyre chains may be required in winter.
Foreign buyers
Californian law allows foreign buyers. Property tax is around 1% of price. Inspect cabins carefully, since unpermitted additions, septic systems and propane heating are common. Foreign-national financing normally needs a large deposit. FIRPTA withholding applies to later sales by non-US owners.
See the US financing guide, the consultation page and the United States overview.
Mountain neighbours
Big Bear City is directly adjacent, and Big Bear is a related listing area. Running Springs and Lake Arrowhead are other mountain resorts, while Yucaipa and Highland lie in the valley below.
