Your Villa - East Valley - April - May 2024

Dr. Rau | Owner Plastic Surgeon “I have noted an uptick in aesthetic businesses (skin care, eyelashes, nails, hair). There is also an increase in diversity of mid to fine dining. Certainl , more desire for the finer things in life he e in Redlands. I grew up here, and being close to family and friends is important to me. Redlands is a beautiful, clean, quaint town with great mountain views, schools, and neighborhoods.” Dean DiTrapani | Owner / Operator Spirit Animal Events “The Redlands area has grown substantially over the course of the last few years. New homes, new businesses, new jobs. From shopping, to restaurants, bars, and boutique clothing stores, and even hotels! We are becoming a destination point between Los Angeles and Palm Springs. Redlands is truly the “Hidden Gem” of the Inland Empire, and maybe the world. Every area has their ups and downs. We only have ups. Leading educational institutes, lowest in crime, and largest in heart. Beautiful mountains surround this tremendous valley, in one of the most central locations to some of the most desired travel destinations around. We are a 45-minute drive to Palm Springs and desert hikes, or to Big Bear and mountain skiing. In the other direction, a one-hour will lead you to the beach and surf, or the glitz and glamor of Los Angeles and Hollywood. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.” Jake Doll | Owner Uncorked on State “The national and international awareness of Redlands has expanded due to the efforts of B ett Waterman and his television show, Restored, where he frequently showcases the restoration of Redlands houses, and how they are brought back to their original glory. Community! It seems like everyone you meet in Redlands is involved in at least one community organization. Redlands Conservancy, Associates of the Redlands Bowl, Redlands Symphony, Redlands Bicycle Classic, Redlands Family Services, support for the arts, and so many other great organizations and activities, all make Redlands a wonderful place to live.” And there you have it folks.
