Silverwood Community in Hesperia
Hesperia, California (High Desert News Online) – A significant moment for the High Desert region unfolded last week as DMB Development, Schlegel Land Company, and Beaumont Partners celebrated the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Silverwood Community in Hesperia. This event, which took place on Thursday, March 13th, 2025, marks a crucial step forward in addressing Southern California’s housing needs and promises to reshape the landscape of the Inland Empire.
A Glimpse into Silverwood’s Future
Situated between Ranchero Road and Highway 173, Silverwood is set to become one of Southern California’s largest new communities. Spanning over 9,000 acres and entitled for more than 15,600 new homes, this master-planned development aims to create a multi-billion-dollar economic impact in Hesperia, Victorville, and surrounding areas.
John Ohanian, General Manager of Silverwood Community, expressed his excitement about the project’s progress: “We’re opening with a soft opening this weekend, and our grand opening is coming up on Saturday April 5th and Sunday 6th”. Ohanian added that families can expect to start moving into phase one of the housing track as early as May or June of this year.
Boon for the High Desert
For High Desert residents, Silverwood represents more than just new housing. It’s a transformative project that promises to bring:
Affordable Housing Options: With prices starting in the mid-$400,000s, Silverwood aims to provide attainable housing for first-time buyers and families looking to move up.
Economic Growth: The development is expected to create thousands of local jobs and bring over $1.6 billion in infrastructure investments over the next 25 years.
Enhanced Quality of Life: Nearly half of the land has been set aside for natural open space, parks, and trails, offering residents a unique blend of suburban living and outdoor recreation.
Improved Infrastructure: The project includes significant investments in local roads, including major improvements to Ranchero Road.
Vision for the Future
Silverwood is designed to evoke a welcoming small-town California feel while embracing modern amenities and sustainability. The community will feature solar power for all homes and businesses, a state-of-the-art wastewater plant, and extensive use of recycled water for landscaping.
For High Desert residents, this development represents a unique opportunity to be part of a growing community that offers a high quality of life, job opportunities, and a connection to nature, all within commuting distance to major employment hubs in San Bernardino, Riverside, and Ontario.
As the first residents prepare to move in later this year, Silverwood stands as a testament to the region’s growth and potential. This ambitious project is set to redefine living in the High Desert, offering a glimpse into a future where sustainable development and community-focused planning go hand in hand.robert
