Homes Over 3,000 Sq Ft in Moonridge

A short list in any given month. At this size the house is almost always custom, and the lot and the view line are doing as much of the work as the floor plan. This page narrows the live MLS feed to homes over 3,000 square feet inside Moonridge only, so what you see below is that combination and nothing else.

A short list in any given month

Homes over 3,000 square feet are rare in Big Bear and they exist in meaningful numbers in only a handful of communities. At this size the house is almost always custom, and the lot and the view line are doing as much work as the floor plan.

Expect build dates after 2000, multiple levels, and in most cases a three-car garage or equivalent. Many were designed with large-group rental in mind.

The running costs are the real story

Heating, insurance and snow removal all scale with the house. A 3,500 square foot home at 6,750 feet with a long driveway is a meaningfully different operating cost from a cabin, and it is worth modelling before you buy rather than after.

If the plan is short-term rental, confirm the permitted occupancy for the address. Square footage does not automatically translate into a higher permitted headcount.

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.

Homes Over 3,000 Sq Ft in Moonridge — Frequently Asked Questions

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

Are there homes over 3,000 square feet in Moonridge?
Yes — the search on this page is filtered to homes over 3,000 square feet 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 large homes in Big Bear?
Yes, but not many. Over 3,000 square feet is a small fraction of the market and concentrated in Big Bear Lake, Big Bear City, Moonridge and Fawnskin.
What does a 3,000 square foot home cost in Big Bear?
It varies widely with lot, view and condition. The live search above shows what is currently active at this size with prices attached.
Where is Moonridge in Big Bear Lake?
Moonridge is a centrally located hillside neighborhood just south of Big Bear Lake, bordered by San Bernardino National Forest on three sides. It's home to Bear Mountain Resort, the Bear Mountain Golf Course, and the Big Bear Alpine Zoo, and sits only minutes from the Village, the lake, and Big Bear Boulevard.
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.
