Last updated: March 2026

Lancaster is the largest city in the Antelope Valley, a high-desert region north of the San Gabriel Mountains. The housing stock is primarily from the 1980s-2000s suburban development boom, with newer construction continuing in the eastern part of the city. The desert climate creates extreme temperature swings that stress plumbing systems, and the local groundwater is very hard from mineral-rich desert aquifers.
