I’ve been spending a lot of time up on the mountain lately and have discovered that the Big Bear area is quite the popular retirement town. Many residents have chosen to live there to enjoy the beauty, four seasons and clean air - and remain close to their children and grandchildren “down the hill”. I think they enjoy living at a vacation destination welcoming friends and family all year long to stay for a spell and cut loose from the traffic, noise and hurry that is urban southern California.

The drive up the mountain is spectacular and Hwy 330 is open again so it’s a pretty quick trip. For an even more scenic route - take the 38 home through Barton Flats and Forest Falls...wow! Who knew there were waterfalls in Southern California!
Senior (over 62) Homeowners in Big Bear Lake are looking into & taking advantage of the FHA (HECM)Reverse Mortgage. Some to pay off their existing mortgage and free up cash flow, others to set up an “emergency line of credit” for the day when they may need it. Even one client who accessed their reverse mortgage line of credit to buy a rock bottom priced vacation home in the popular desert community of Palm Springs.
I’m looking forward to many more visits up the mountain!
