High Desert & Victor Valley

The communities on the north side of the San Bernardino Mountains in the western Mojave Desert, centered on the Victor Valley along the I-15 corridor between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Victorville is the largest city, with Hesperia, Apple Valley, and Adelanto forming a contiguous urban area of nearly 400,000 people at elevations of 2,500-3,500 feet. The High Desert offers the metro's most affordable housing -- often half the price of western IE communities -- but requires Cajon Pass commutes (50-70 min to San Bernardino, 90+ min to LA). The Victor Valley Transit Authority and Victor Valley College serve the area.
