17400 Valley Blvd Fontana Multifamily Investment, 108 Units
Neighborhood occupancy is stable near the mid-90s and competitive nationally, according to WDSuite’s CRE market data, supporting durable renter demand in this inner suburb of the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario metro.
Located in Fontana’s inner-suburban fabric (neighborhood rating C+), the property benefits from a renter-occupied share that is roughly half of local housing units, indicating a deep tenant base for multifamily demand. Neighborhood occupancy trends sit in the upper tier nationally (around the 72nd percentile) and roughly near the metro median among 997 metro neighborhoods, a backdrop that supports leasing stability for professionally managed assets.
Amenity coverage skews practical: the neighborhood ranks competitively for groceries and daily-needs retail, with grocery and pharmacy access performing in the top quartile nationally, while restaurants are also strong versus national norms. In contrast, parks, cafes, and childcare options are comparatively sparse within the immediate neighborhood, so on-site amenities and property programming can be differentiators for resident retention.
For affordability and pricing power, neighborhood rents and incomes indicate manageable rent-to-income levels (about one-fifth), which can aid lease retention, while the local ownership market shows relatively accessible home values versus many coastal California submarkets. That said, more accessible ownership can create incremental competition for some renter cohorts, so emphasizing convenience, community, and operational quality remains important for renewal performance.
Within a 3-mile radius, demographics reflect steady population growth and a larger household base projected by 2028, alongside rising household incomes. A balanced renter/owner mix near parity suggests a wide catchment for multifamily, and incremental income gains point to support for sustained demand and potential rent growth pacing, subject to execution and asset positioning.
The asset’s 1979 vintage is somewhat newer than the neighborhood’s average construction year (1971). That positioning can be competitively useful against older stock, though investors should plan for systems modernization and selective renovations to keep finishes and efficiencies current.
Safety outcomes are around the national median when comparing neighborhoods nationwide, with the area performing below top-tier peers but broadly in line with many inner-suburban locations across the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario metro (997 neighborhoods). Recent trends are mixed: property offense rates show a year-over-year improvement, while violent offense estimates increased over the same period. For investors, this argues for standard security design and proactive resident engagement rather than extraordinary measures.
Framing this comparatively, the neighborhood is not among the safest quartile nationally, yet it remains workable for workforce-oriented multifamily when paired with attentive on-site management and lighting, access control, and community programming to support resident satisfaction and retention.
Nearby corporate and logistics nodes provide a stable employment base that supports commuter convenience and renter demand, led by energy infrastructure, food manufacturing, waste services, medical distribution, and transportation sales.

- General Mills — food manufacturing (6.97 miles)
- Waste Management — waste services (15.66 miles)
- Mckesson Medical Surgical — medical distribution (16.04 miles)
- Ryder Vehicle Sales — transportation sales (18.04 miles)
This 108-unit 1979 multifamily asset offers scale in an inner-suburban Fontana location where neighborhood occupancy trends are competitive nationally and near the metro median. According to CRE market data from WDSuite, renter-occupied housing makes up roughly half of neighborhood units, supporting a deep tenant base that can underpin steady leasing and retention when paired with professional operations and targeted upgrades.
Amenity patterns favor daily needs (groceries, pharmacies, and restaurants rank strong nationally), while limited parks/cafes means on-site features and resident programming can differentiate. The 1979 vintage is somewhat newer than the neighborhood average, implying relative competitiveness versus older stock, though investors should budget for system updates and selective value-add to optimize rents. Within a 3-mile radius, gradual population growth, increasing households, and rising incomes point to sustained multifamily demand and support for occupancy stability, with ownership accessibility representing a manageable competitive consideration rather than a structural headwind.
- Scale and positioning: 108 units with neighborhood occupancy competitive nationally, aiding leasing durability.
- Renter depth: roughly half of neighborhood housing is renter-occupied, supporting demand for multifamily.
- Daily-needs amenity strength: strong groceries, pharmacies, and restaurants support convenience-driven retention.
- Value-add path: 1979 vintage offers competitiveness over older stock with room for system upgrades and renovations.
- Risks: amenity gaps (parks/cafes), crime around national median with mixed short-term trends, and some competition from accessible ownership.
