A tight-knit community with mountain views
At the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains sits North El Monte, a quaint neighborhood with big-city amenities. A short drive from Downtown Los Angeles, this LA County community is primarily residential but close to highways, schools, parks and restaurants. “It’s a very healthy, involved community.” says Ken Rausch, CEO of the El Monte Chamber of Commerce. “A lot of people have lived here a long time, and they care about their neighborhoods, and the city as a whole.”
Surrounded by outdoor recreation
Residents are treated to plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. The 5-acre Peck Road Park Water Conservation Park offers hiking, mountain biking and fishing at its lake. The neighborhood also boasts Arcadia Golf Course, an 18-hole greenway that’s been a local favorite since 1962. And the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area is only 5 miles east, where residents can swim, play sand volleyball, camp, kayak, hike or go horseback riding. Hikers wanting to trek deeper into nature can head just 4 miles south to hop on the San Gabriel River Trail. The LA County Arboretum lies 3 miles over North El Monte’s northern boundary. This 127-acre botanical garden and historic site is home to a wide variety of plants native to South America, the Mediterranean, South Africa and Asiatic-North America. There’s also an aquatic garden, prehistoric and jungle gardens, and Baldwin Lakre, a popular lagoon at its center.

Perfect starter-home community
North El Monte is a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood that features small, midcentury ranch-style homes, bungalows and condos. "It's more of a smaller, starter-home area; some are two-bedroom, one-bath homes," says Realtor Callie Wilson with Dilbeck Real Estate. Most single-family homes were built in the 1950s and range from $600,000 to $950,000, depending on the size and upgrades, though some have gone for over $1 million. Like other areas of Southern California, accessory dwelling units are becoming a popular option for creating more space, and the decently sized lots allow plenty of room for landscaping and gardening. Sidewalks are wide and the neighborhood is highly walkable.
