Must See Image
Tour the Homes of California's Citrus Barons

See the opulent architecture of yesteryear in Redlands.

With the tagline "City of Beautiful Homes," Redlands makes a fantastic destination for fans of architecture and elegance. Entire neighborhoods are filled with beautifully maintained Victorian and Arts and Crafts-era houses, ranging in size from bungalows to mansions, many with equally well-maintained grounds. Some of these handsome homes were built by wealthy citizens wintering in the city, while others belonged to early residents who struck it rich in the a burgeoning citrus industry.

Enjoy a drive or walk along city streets (West Highland Drive feels like you're driving back in time). For a closer look at one iconic home, visit Kimberly Crest House and Gardens , open for touring Thursday through Sunday, 1 to 4 p.m.
