Condos & Townhomes in Moonridge

Condos concentrate where the land is tightest, which is not every neighborhood. This page narrows the live MLS feed to condos and townhomes inside Moonridge only, so what you see below is that combination and nothing else.

What to Check Before You Buy

With a condo or townhome, you're buying into an association. Review the HOA dues, rules, reserves, and any restrictions carefully. Crucially, if you intend to rent short-term, confirm both the HOA's rules and the jurisdiction's short-term-rental rules — an HOA can restrict rentals even where the city or county would otherwise allow them.

New to the communities? See the complex-by-complex guide to Big Bear's condo & townhome communities — Bayshore, Forest Shores, Viking Estates, Comstock, Escape and more — with location, amenities, and what to confirm on HOA dues and rental rules.

How Rachael Helps

Rachael helps buyers compare communities, read the HOA details that matter, and weigh location and rules — so you understand exactly what you're buying into before you commit.

With a condo or townhome you're buying into an association — review dues, rules, and reserves closely. If you plan to rent short-term, confirm both the HOA's rules and the jurisdiction's rules, since an HOA can restrict rentals independently. Rules differ by area and change over time; estimate income with Rachael's free Big Bear STR Calculator .

Lifestyle & Community Atmosphere in Moonridge

Moonridge feels like a real neighborhood, not just a vacation strip. You'll see full-time families, retirees who traded the flatlands for pine trees, and investors whose cabins pay for themselves through the busy STR season. The vibe is unpretentious and outdoorsy — trailheads at the end of the street, snow in the driveway five months a year, and neighbors who wave.

The refurbished Moonridge corridor has brought new dining and shopping within walking distance of many homes, while three sides of protected National Forest mean the quiet, wild backdrop isn't going anywhere.

Recreation & the Outdoors in Moonridge

Moonridge's biggest draw is what's at the top of the road: Bear Mountain Resort . In winter it's skiing and snowboarding; in summer the mountain reopens for downhill mountain biking, scenic chairlift rides, and the Bear Mountain bike park. Between the resort, the golf course, and the forest, this is the neighborhood for buyers who want their front door to be the trailhead.

Types of Homes in Moonridge

Moonridge offers one of the widest ranges of housing in Big Bear — which is exactly why it's such a strong market for both primary buyers and investors.

Classic Big Bear Cabins in Moonridge

The bread and butter of Moonridge: cozy A-frames and log-sided cabins, many with knotty-pine interiors, wood-burning stoves, and decks made for morning coffee. These are the entry point to the neighborhood and consistently the strongest short-term-rental performers.

Ski-Close Chalets & Modern Mountain Homes in Moonridge

Closer to Bear Mountain you'll find larger chalets and newer builds with open great rooms, game rooms, hot tubs, and enough beds to make the STR numbers work. Buyers chasing ski-in-ski-out proximity gravitate here.

Upper Moonridge View Homes

Climb higher and the lots get bigger, the tree cover thicker, and the views wider. Upper Moonridge is where you'll find custom homes with valley and ridgeline vistas, more privacy, and a premium price to match.

Moonridge is one of Big Bear's most consistent short-term-rental neighborhoods thanks to its proximity to Bear Mountain and the zoo. Before you buy, run the numbers — Rachael's free Big Bear STR Calculator gives you a data-backed Airbnb revenue estimate in under a minute.

Getting Around & Nearby in Moonridge

Moonridge's central location is its quiet superpower. You're minutes from the Village, the lake, and Big Bear Boulevard, and about two hours from the Los Angeles and Orange County markets that fuel the second-home and rental demand.

Condos & Townhomes in Moonridge — Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers from a local Big Bear Broker Associate. Inventory figures reflect the live MLS feed above.

Are there condos and townhomes in Moonridge?
Yes — the search on this page is filtered to condos and townhomes inside the Moonridge boundary, drawn on the map rather than guessed from a zip code. It updates from the MLS in real time, so if the list is short today that reflects current inventory.
Are there condos and townhomes for sale in Big Bear?
Yes — Big Bear has condos and townhomes across the valley, often in convenient locations near the Village, lake, or slopes. Browse the live listings updated daily from the MLS, and reach out to Rachael to compare communities and current availability.
Why buy a condo or townhome instead of a cabin?
Condos and townhomes typically offer lower exterior maintenance — often including snow removal and grounds — convenient locations, and in some cases a more accessible entry point than a standalone home. They suit weekenders, first-time buyers, and anyone who prefers low-maintenance ownership.
What should I check on the HOA?
Review the HOA dues, rules, reserves, and any restrictions carefully, since you're buying into an association. The financial health of the HOA and its rules on things like rentals and pets can significantly affect your ownership, so it's important to understand them before committing.
Can I short-term rent a Big Bear condo or townhome?
Sometimes, but you must confirm two things: the HOA's rules and the jurisdiction's short-term-rental rules. An HOA can restrict or prohibit short-term rentals even where the City or County would allow them, and rules change over time, so verify both for the specific property before counting on rental income.
Are condos more affordable than houses in Big Bear?
In some cases condos and townhomes offer a more accessible entry point, but pricing depends on the specific unit, community, location, and market, and HOA dues are an ongoing cost to factor in. Reach out to Rachael for current, unit-specific numbers.
What amenities do Big Bear condo communities offer?
It varies by community — some include shared spaces, parking, and grounds maintenance, while others are more basic. Rachael can help you compare what each community offers relative to its dues and rules.
Are HOA dues worth it?
That depends on what the dues cover and how you value the convenience. Dues often fund exterior maintenance, snow removal, and amenities that save you time and effort, but you should weigh them against your budget and confirm the HOA is well managed.

What is the difference between Lower and Upper Moonridge?
Lower Moonridge is the flatter, walkable area around Moonridge Road, close to dining, shops, the zoo, and the golf course. Upper Moonridge climbs higher into the hills, offering larger lots, more privacy, heavier tree cover, and some of the best valley and ridgeline views in Big Bear.
