This Week’s Scoop was Powered by: The Ontario Tower Buzzers

We’ve officially entered the season where your car somehow collects dust, pollen, empty water bottles, and iced coffee receipts all at the same time.

So naturally, we teamed up with Prestige Mobile Detailing to help one Chino Chew reader completely reset their ride with a FULL interior & exterior detail giveaway. Ray from Prestige has a strong repertoire detailing luxury vehicles like Ferraris (there is even a very famous boxer he details for that we cannot disclose), and his prices are very reasonable! A large SUV (like a Grand Wagoneer) ceramic treatment will run around $175 (text him for detailed quotes). I got my car detailed by Ray, and discovered that I had sparkly paint (I forgot I bought this as an add on for color options when I got my car!!!)

Here’s how to enter:

Winner will be announced before May 31!

Even better? Prestige is also giving Chino Chew readers 10% OFF all services, including pressure washing when you mention “Chino Chew” while booking, so even non-winners still get a little glow-up.

Prestige Mobile Detailing has been serving the community since 2019 and built a strong local reputation for high-quality mobile detailing that comes straight to you.

Regardless of whether you win, your car is probably in need of this by now 😉

Ark Coffee is the kind of place that makes people wonder how they lived near the airport for years without ever stopping in. Located right inside the entrance of Yanks Air Museum, the shop has quietly become a favorite for locals looking for a coffee run that feels a little more memorable than usual. Between the open parking, views of vintage aircraft nearby, and the attached museum, it’s the kind of spot people accidentally turn into a full morning outing.

Reviews constantly mention the drinks, especially the Spiced Banana Latte, which uses banana milk cold foam and has quickly become a customer favorite. Others seem to rotate between the Spanish Latte, Coconut Creme Latte, Frequent Flyer Latte, and Coconut Cloud, with many customers pointing out how the flavors feel creative without trying too hard. The use of natural ingredients and thoughtful combinations gives the menu a more personal feel than the average coffee stop.

The team behind the shop also seems to be part of what keeps people coming back. Reviews frequently mention how welcoming and friendly Yana and Matt are from the moment customers walk in. Overall, Ark feels relaxed, local, and refreshingly low-pressure, the kind of hidden gem people are genuinely excited to recommend once they find it.

If you’ve been watching the local market lately, things are starting to open up a bit across both Chino and Chino Hills, especially for buyers who felt squeezed earlier this year.

Chino Hills saw 7 homes close over the past week, with sale prices ranging from $710K to $1.6M and average sale prices landing just under the million-dollar mark. Inventory also continues to build, with 117 active listings currently on the market and prices ranging from the high $400Ks to luxury properties listed above $5M. The range itself says a lot about the market right now. Higher-end homes are still moving, but buyers are starting to see a little more variety across different price points compared to earlier this year.

Meanwhile, Chino saw slightly more activity this week with 10 homes sold and average sale prices around $736K. Active inventory now sits at 136 listings, with current homes on the market ranging from the mid $300Ks up to nearly $3.8M. Compared to Chino Hills, the market here continues to feel a bit more accessible overall, especially for buyers trying to stay within more moderate price ranges heading into summer.

On the financing side, VA loans continue to offer some of the strongest benefits available for veterans and active-duty service members, and many buyers still don’t realize how flexible these programs can be.

VA loans can allow qualified buyers to purchase with 0% down, often come with competitive interest rates lower than conventional financing, and may offer more flexible credit and debt-to-income requirements. One of the biggest misconceptions? VA loan benefits can often be used more than once.

With inventory opening up a little more across Chino Valley, programs like these can create opportunities for buyers who may have felt priced out or stuck waiting earlier in the year.

Whether you're buying, selling, or just running the numbers, our local partners have you covered. Reach out to Taylor Winkler for listings and strategy, and connect with Dillon Perry to get your financing dialed in before you start shopping.
