Looking for space to roam and a truly unique place to call home? North San Gabriel River Ranch might just be the perfect fit. North San Gabriel River Ranch is a unique neighborhood of homes on 1-5 acre lots, with the majority of them backing to the North Fork of the San Gabriel River. Lots that back to the river are long, so you’ll get more space in your front and back yard than you will between your neighbors. The lots on the north side of the street are still long, but are wider if you would prefer space over river frontage. The river is not always flowing, so if you want a constant stream, you might want to look elsewhere. You will see a mix of manufactured homes that have been put on a pier and beam foundation as well as traditional homes on a concrete slab. Other homes have more of an industrial look with a steel building construction. With no HOA, residents have the freedom to build the type of home they want and can have outbuildings, barns, sheds and structures. If you’re looking for a neighborhood with minimal oversight and want some unique features like river frontage, North San Gabriel River Ranch is a great place to start your search. This North San Gabriel River Ranch neighborhood guide will walk you through everything you need to know about living in North San Gabriel River Ranch, from the layout of the homes to the best spots nearby to grab a coffee or enjoy the outdoors.
