A quiet corner of community in Western San Gabriel Valley
The Martha Baldwin neighborhood takes its name from the local elementary school, honoring early 20th-century educator Martha Baldwin—a reminder of the area’s focus on community. “This is easily one of the most family-friendly communities in the San Gabriel Valley,” says Realtor Christian Godoy. “People move here to be close to the schools.” Anchored by Valley Boulevard’s low-key shops, including family-run Taiwanese diners and Cantonese dim sum spots that highlight the region’s Asian influences, it sits 10 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. Commuters head into the city but return to sidewalks shaded by older trees and the relaxed greens of the Alhambra Golf Course.
Diverse architecture and historic homes
Classic ranch-style homes, Mediterranean-style homes and Tudor Revivals here were built in the 1930s and ‘40s, surrounded by fruit trees and set on neatly landscaped lots. Single-family homes typically exceed $1 million, with recently renovated properties commanding the highest prices. More affordable options include two- to three-bedroom condos and townhomes ranging from $500,000 to $700,000.
