Big Bear's Coveted, Central Neighborhood

Named for the actual fox farms that operated here in the early 1900s, Fox Farm has grown into one of the most sought-after — and most valuable — neighborhoods in the Big Bear Valley. Its appeal comes down to two things: location and livability.

Sitting centrally, just south of Big Bear Boulevard and bordering Lower Moonridge to the east, Fox Farm offers something rare in the mountains — relatively level, easy-to-navigate streets. That makes winters more manageable and everyday life simpler, while keeping you minutes from the lake, the Village, Snow Summit, and Bear Mountain.

Lifestyle & Community Atmosphere

Fox Farm is quiet, established, and pride-of-ownership throughout. You'll find a desirable mix of well-kept full-time homes, upgraded mountain retreats, and strong-performing vacation rentals. It's the kind of neighborhood buyers seek out by name — central enough to walk or bike to Boulevard amenities, yet tucked away from the busiest tourist corridors.

  • Central location — minutes to the Village, lake & both ski resorts
  • Level, easy-access streets (a real winter advantage)
  • Established, pride-of-ownership neighborhood
  • Borders Lower Moonridge and Boulevard amenities

Types of Homes in Fox Farm

Fox Farm spans classic Big Bear cabins, thoughtfully updated mountain homes, and larger custom residences. Because demand consistently outpaces supply, it tends to hold value better than many surrounding areas — one reason it's considered among the valley's premium neighborhoods.

Getting Around

  • Big Bear Boulevard & shopping: 1–3 minutes
  • The Village & lake: about 5–10 minutes
  • Snow Summit / Bear Mountain: about 5–10 minutes
