The Community of Oak Hills is located in the High Desert region of San Bernardino County, 35 miles northeast of San Bernardino and about 80 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Oak Hills is one of several unincorporated communities within the Victor Valley region of the County. The Community is bordered by the City of Hesperia to the east, the unincorporated Community of Phelan to the west; the City of Victorville to the north; and the unincorporated area of Summit Valley to the south.
The Community of Oak Hills is structured around a special district formed by the County in 1972 to provide water, sewer and road maintenance services. To date, the County has constructed a water system designed to serve residential units on parcels of 2 1/2 acres in size. There are also a small number of commercial uses located at the summit of the Cajon Pass, near the Oak Hill Road freeway exit.
Fire protection is provided by the California Department of Forestry. A paid call fire station is located on Caliente Road, near the Oak Hill Road overpass. Additional fire protection services are provided through mutual aid agreements with the City of Hesperia and the City of Victorville.
The Community of Oak Hills encompasses approximately 28 square miles within a transitional area located between the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains to the south and the Mojave Desert to the north. Consequently, the planning area contains a variety of slope conditions, soil types, plants and animals and other physical characteristics that vary from south to north. Generally, the planning area slopes from southwest to northeast, with surface and subsurface flows trending away from the foothills along the Oro Grande Wash as well as other wash systems that roughly parallel the freeway. While the foothill areas north of Summit Valley contain significant slopes, most of the planning area outside of the washes is fairly level.
Located on the edge of the Mojave Desert, within the rain shadow of the San Bernardino Mountains, Oak Hills’s climate is arid. Summers in this area are hot and dry, while winters may experience freezing temperatures and infrequent snowstorms. Daytime high temperatures range from a monthly average of 58oF. in January, to 98oF. in July, with extremes recorded as low as the teens and as high as 110oF. Temperatures are slightly lower in the higher elevations, providing residents with cool evening hours. Average annual precipitation is five (5) inches. Air quality is generally good; however, due to its location just north of the Cajon Pass, dividing the South Coast Air Basin from the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management Basin, Oak Hills receives wind borne air pollutants from valley areas to the south.
Oak Hills is strategically located with respect to the Victor Valley, the San Bernardino Valley, and the Los Angeles Basin. With direct access to Interstate 15 and State Highway 395, as well as rail access from two railroads, the Community is easily accessible to commuters and future industrial or commercial users. Recreation is as close as Wrightwood or Big Bear for skiing in the winter and as near as Silverwood Lake for fishing and boating. In addition, the many attractions located in the Orange and Los Angeles County areas are within a two-hour drive from Oak Hills.
The Community’s location at the top of Cajon Pass, the closest of the High Desert communities to more populated regions to the south, gives it a locational advantage for home buyers and businesses from San Bernardino, Riverside, Los Angeles and Orange Counties. The planning area contains approximately three miles of freeway frontage along Interstate 15 and one mile of frontage along State Highway 395. The majority of this frontage property is undeveloped and remains in large parcels, giving the area exceptional opportunities to attract high quality business development. The planning area also contains opportunities for a variety of housing types, including estate sized lots, equestrian lots, and standard single family residential development.
