Big Bear Interactive Map & Neighborhoods — Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers from a local Big Bear Broker Associate. This is general information; verify time-sensitive details (hours, prices, schedules) with the venue or provider directly.

What are the main areas of Big Bear?
The main areas are Big Bear Lake (the incorporated city on the south and west shore, including The Village), Big Bear City (unincorporated, to the east), and communities like Moonridge, Fox Farm, Sugarloaf and Fawnskin. Each has its own feel and price range.
Which side of Big Bear Lake is best?
It depends on your goals. The south shore has The Village, ski resorts and walkability; the east is often more attainable; the north shore (Fawnskin) is quieter. Rachael can match an area to how you'll use the home.
Where are the ski resorts on the map?
Snow Summit and Bear Mountain are on the south side of the valley, near the Moonridge and Fox Farm areas — which is why homes there are popular with skiers and short-term-rental owners.
Is Big Bear City the same as Big Bear Lake?
No — Big Bear Lake (ZIP 92315) is the incorporated city on the south/west shore, while Big Bear City (92314) is unincorporated San Bernardino County to the east. The distinction affects rules, services and often price.
