A neighborhood central to Alhambra businesses

Downtown Alhambra is a small neighborhood directly on Main Street. While most of it is occupied by storefronts, there are a few condos and townhouses that provide a handful of residential options. Buyers are attracted to the area's convenience, as businesses and restaurants sit just outside residents’ front doors. Downtown is also a busy social hub, so residents will be within walking distance of regular community events.

Downtown Alhambra is known as a walker’s paradise, with plenty of restaurants and shops that make it easy to explore on foot.

Walkable Downtown and the city bus

With so many restaurants and shops in the neighborhood, getting around on foot is fairly easy. It's been called a walker’s paradise, which Chou agrees with. “Most people walk in Downtown Alhambra, which is attractive and only minutes from major shopping, freeway, and other cities,” he says. “The good thing is it also has good public transportation.” Alhambra Community Transit bus circulates in the neighborhood. Interstate 10 runs a few miles south of the neighborhood.

Condos and townhouses in Downtown Alhambra

Housing in Downtown Alhambra is fairly limited, as most of the neighborhood is taken up by commercial and rental space. “Businesses dominate a good portion of the neighborhood,” says Chou. “Downtown is mostly for singles or couples just starting. It does have newer properties, especially the mid-rises in Downtown Alhambra.” Almost all options are condos and townhouses, which sell from $540,000 to $1.3 million. The range reflects the size of the unit, in-unit amenities like updated appliances, and proximity to shopping and dining.

Visiting city parks

There are no parks in the neighborhood, but a couple are nearby. Story Park is the closest. Here, visitors will find a playground and open green space for walking or relaxing. The park is home to the Joslyn Adult Recreation Center, which offers programs and activities for Alhambra residents 60 or older. Almansor Park is farther south but is much larger. The lake there is not for fishing, but visitors can enjoy the views. In addition to a traditional playground, the park offers a ballfield, soccer field, tennis courts and lawn bowling.

Almansor Park visitors can enjoy serenity by the lake which attracts multiple wild bird species year-round.
