The Victor Valley is still growing despite housing slump. |
Situated above the top of the Cajon Pass
Victorville was named Victor after a Santa Fe Railroad construction
worker, by the name of Jacob Nash Victor. The town started it's growth
around the railroad station. 1986 the subdivision was mapped between
First Street and G Street. Agriculture flourished due to the availability of
the Mojave River
Victorville off Interstate 15, the main Fairway that goes North towards
Barstow and into Las Vegas.
The affordability of this area is what attracts people from the
Riverside and Los Angeles communities to buy in this community. Less then 1
hour away to Big Bear where there is water sports, skiing the ability to
enjoy the Arrowhead Queen paddle boat. Going Towards Barstow you can stop off
to visit the Calico Ghost Town which is an old mining town, reminding you of
the old west.
Route 66 extending through Victorville, is now know to the locals as 7th
street. George Air Force Base, used for years by the Military was closed in
1992. But in 1993 the city annexed George and made it Southern California
Logistics Airport. Through the years many large company's such as the Snapple
Plant/ Dr Pepper, Boeing have made a home there.
The temperature in the winters are an average of 50 degrees and the
Summers are around 90 degrees. The Rain fall is low. Occasionally we get snow,
but it is gone by the next
day
An
Article dated September 12 2007 in our local newspaper, The Daily
Press, had an article written by a staff writer addressing the growth
of the High Desert and Victorville real estate. It appears that in May of 2007 we had a population of 100,000 in Victorville .
Since then we have had another 2000 people join this community. This
indicates an annualized growth rate of about 9.2 percent per year. This
was the same growth rate that had been projected for the community
years by the statistical firm ERSI, based in Redlands.
Even more surprising are the numbers for Hesperia California.
The population in May of 2007 for Hesperia was 85,876 thousand,
according to the California Department of Finance. When compared with
the state finance figure of 80,218 as of January 1. Hesperia had grown
by 5,658 people in five months. That is an annualized growth rate of real estate in Victorville 16.9 percent.
Claritas, a demographic firm estimates that the city of Apple Valley estimates that in July of 2007 that the number of people living in the town was at 68,940.
Looking at all of
this growth within these cities it appears that despite a nationwide
housing slump, people are still moving to the High Desert and an
evergrowing interest in purchasing Victorville real estate from local Californians to those wishing to relocate to the High Desert.

Apple Valley is exploding with new commercial development! |
As taken from the Daily Press on Friday October 5, 2007 by a staff writer.
It
seems that not only has the Apple Valley Jess Ranch Center exploded
with new commercial development, but Apple Valley Outdoor Center has
now been approved to go forward with the construction of their outdoor
shopping center. The name for the project will be the Fountains at
Quail Ranch. The approved plan will be at Apple Valley
Road and Yucca Loma roads. Their were concerns about the amount of
water that would be used for the 11 fountains, the noise created by the
late deliveries and adequate parking and increased traffic. The revised
plan outlined a water system that will use reclaimed water for the
fountains and irrigation, saving water for the community.
This
project will be 346,460 square-foot site will link shopping areas and
office buildings with landscaped walkways and will be designed in a
Tuscan village theme, using stone, cobble and rich colors.
Possible
tenants include Old Navy, Men's Warehouse, Fresh and Easy Neighborhood
Market, Chili's Bar and Grill, T.G.I.Friday's and Yard House. Also
proposed are coffee shops, book-stores and craft stores.
With outdoor dinning and pedestrian space, developers are hoping that the center will serve as a meeting and gathering place.
Developers will begin early next year, 2008 to begin the construction and continue as the market drives it growth.
