Kendall Drive Neighborhood Guide
Kendall Drive sits in the northwest corner of San Bernardino, running between Palm Avenue and Waterman Avenue along the base of the San Bernardino Mountains, where the city quietly gives way to foothill terrain and open sky. The neighborhood is built around wide lots, cul-de-sacs, and a pace of life that feels genuinely removed from the urban core just a few miles downhill. Residents tend to be rooted here, the kind of people who know their neighbors by name and chose the area specifically for the space and the views it delivers. The tradeoff is a real one: groceries, restaurants, and most daily errands require driving down into the valley, so the neighborhood rewards those who are happy to trade convenience for breathing room.
