Truck Yards, Industrial Land & Buildings in Bloomington, CA
Bloomington is one of the Inland Empire's go-to areas for truck yards, outdoor storage, and industrial land, thanks to its location between Fontana and Rialto along the I-10. I'm Javier A. Brown, a commercial real estate agent with MGR Real Estate. My office is in Ontario, a short drive away, and I've worked across the Inland Empire for more than 20 years. I help trucking companies, contractors, investors, and property owners lease, buy, and sell property in Bloomington.
What Makes Bloomington Different
Bloomington is an unincorporated community, which means it is not its own city. Land use is handled by San Bernardino County instead of a city hall, so zoning, permits, and code questions go through the county's land use services. That is an important difference for buyers and tenants, because the rules, the process, and the timelines can be different from those in neighboring cities like Fontana or Rialto.
The county has also been updating plans for parts of Bloomington, and some areas have been shifting from older yard and residential uses toward newer industrial and business park uses. That can create opportunity, but it also means the rules for a specific parcel need to be checked carefully.
Why Location Matters Here
- I-10 access: Bloomington sits along the I-10, with major north-south streets such as Cedar Avenue connecting to the freeway.
- Close to the I-15 and SR-60: trucks can reach the main north-south routes and the 60 corridor quickly.
- Near major distribution hubs: the warehouses of Fontana, Rialto, Ontario, and Jurupa Valley are all a short drive away, which is why so many fleets look for parking here.
Property I Help With in Bloomington
- Truck yards and trailer parking for fleets and owner-operators.
- Contractor yards and outdoor storage for equipment, materials, and vehicles.
- Industrial land for owners, users, and developers.
- Small industrial buildings and shops with yard space.
- Homes and residential lots for families and investors.
Questions to Answer Before You Commit
- Is the use allowed? We check the county zoning and any plan that covers the parcel, and whether truck parking or storage needs a permit.
- Is the current use legal? Some yards have been used for years without the right approvals. A use that exists today is not always a use the county has approved.
- What improvements are required? Paving, fencing, screening, lighting, and drainage can all add cost.
- Utilities and access: water, sewer or septic, power, and safe driveways for trucks.
- Neighbors: some parcels sit next to homes, which can affect what the county allows.
I'll help you get these answers early, working with the county and with your own attorney, engineer, or consultant for the final word on zoning, environmental, and legal questions.

Is Bloomington its own city?
No. Bloomington is an unincorporated community in San Bernardino County, so zoning and permits are handled by the county, not a city.
Can I park trucks on any Bloomington lot?
No. Truck parking and outdoor storage depend on the parcel's zoning and county approvals. We check the rules for the exact parcel before you sign.
What should I check on an existing yard?
Confirm that the current use is approved, and ask about paving, fencing, drainage, access, and utilities. An older yard may need upgrades.
