Property tax · $209/mo 0.70% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for San Bernardino County, CA
Insurance & upkeep · $384/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Crestline is a small mountain community where most homes are lived in by their owners, and incomes run somewhat below the county's. Winters are cold, with snow every year, and summers are warm without being hot. Plenty of residents also make long trips to work, and a good number work from home.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with professional and business services, shops, and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Across San Bernardino County, some of the largest workplaces are San Bernardino City Unified, Loma Linda University Medical Center and UPS. The county's job market has been close to flat, and unemployment there is slightly lower than a year ago.
Things to do. Lake Gregory is in or beside town, and Silverwood Lake and Lake Arrowhead Reservoir are both a short drive away for time on the water. Glen Helen Amphitheater, a theatre for live shows, is also a short drive away. Big Bear Lake, a reservoir, is a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Crestline’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on San Bernardino County and the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA metro.
