Apartments for Rent in Barstow, CA (269 Rentals)

The discovery of gold and silver deposits in the nearby mining region of Owens Valley lead to an influx of population to the area in the mid-1850s, with Barstow quickly constructing railroads and other infastructure to meet the increasing needs of the growing number of residents. A midway point between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Barstow benefited from the crossroads of Route 66 and 91, eventually becoming a criss-cross of other major roadways including Interstate 40, Interstate 15 and Route 58. Today, Barstow apartments act as housing for a large military population, thanks to the largest local employer the Ft. Irwin National Training Center.
