Housing
A mix of 1960s–1980s single-story ranch homes on larger lots, with newer infill closer to Grand Ave. It's typically the most affordable pocket of Chino Hills, prized for its mature landscaping and proximity to the golf course.
Getting around
SR-142 (Carbon Canyon Rd) and Grand Ave connect quickly to SR-71 and SR-60. There's no rail service; Omnitrans buses run along Grand Ave, but most residents drive.
A little history
Los Serranos predates the incorporated city of Chino Hills, growing up around the golf club that opened in 1925. When Chino Hills incorporated in December 1991, Los Serranos and Sleepy Hollow were folded in as some of its most established neighborhoods, giving this end of the city a noticeably older, oak-shaded character than the newer hillside tracts to the east.
Living here
Residents like the bigger lots, the shade, and the sense of being tucked into a canyon rather than a subdivision. It's a short hop to Chino for groceries and errands, and a five-minute drive to The Shoppes for everything else.
Visiting for the first time
Play a round at Los Serranos, then head up Carbon Canyon Rd to walk among the redwoods at Carbon Canyon Regional Park — one of the more surprising landscapes in the Inland Empire.
A day in Los Serranos
Start with coffee near Los Serranos Plaza, walk the shaded streets of Sleepy Hollow, then head up Carbon Canyon Rd to Carbon Canyon Regional Park for a stroll through the redwood grove — an unlikely find this close to the 71 freeway. Finish with dinner on the clubhouse patio overlooking the back nine.
Why locals love it
It feels like the original Chino Hills — mature trees, quiet streets, and a golf course that's been the neighborhood's anchor for a century. Families who've been here since before incorporation still gather for Sunday rounds and high school football on Friday nights at Chino Hills High.
