???? The Story Behind “Poets Corner”
Poets Corner, the delightful neighborhood where Irving Way resides, carries a literary lineage—its streets bear the names of famed writers and poets, such as “Irving” (Washington Irving), “Longfellow,” “Whitman,” and others. The theme creates a whimsical, quiet enclave where each address feels poetic.
This tradition began during development in the 1960s–70s, aiming to inject charm and community character. Today, Poets Corner carries that legacy forward—every home purchase feels like stepping into a story, set against the majestic backdrop of Big Bear’s forested beauty.
