Geography has a lot to do with the prices of real estate as closer to the lake, slopes and Big Bear Lake Village, command a higher price than the communities further east of these attractions. Sugarloaf has a number of smaller cabin and homes on smaller lots so the prices are lower. The areas of Baldwin Lake and Erwin Lake are still further east. Parts of these areas tend to have a more high desert feel due to fewer trees. Lake William is still further east off of highway 38 with larger homes on larger properties.
