Canyon Lake, CA

Canyon Lake is a small town located about an hour south of San Bernardino. Originally a private subdivision community, Canyon Lake is one of only five gated cities in California, allowing for an extremely safe, close-knit environment. With the lake—(which is over 400 acres) —anchoring the town, this private community is focused on having a great time out on the water. You’ll see residents swimming, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing, wakeboarding, and more almost every day of the year. When Canyon Lake renters aren’t on the lake, you’ll find them enjoying one of the many beaches and waterfront parks in town.

Canyon Lake has three small retail centers with the largest hub located along Railroad Canyon Road. In this small plaza, there are several salons, restaurants, specialty shops, a grocery store, a library, a bar, and more. Beyond the lake and three small commercial centers, Canyon Lake doesn’t have many amenities within the boundaries of the town. However, there are several large commercial centers a short drive away, along with a movie theater and a bowling alley. Families flock to Canyon Lake because their children are can attend some of the top schools in the area and grow up in safe, community-oriented neighborhoods. Canyon Lake truly has it all for renters who value a private, yet community-focused living experience.
