It's a comfortably residential section of North El Monte

Norwood Cherrylee is a well-established neighborhood in north El Monte. A hub for the San Gabriel Valley, El Monte has a robust commercial component and access to two interstates. Downtown Los Angeles is about 15 miles to the west. Norwood Cherrylee is primarily residential, but plenty of shopping and recreational spaces are close to home. The streets are walkable, though in some cases, sidewalks are only on one side. Palm, maple and cypress trees are among the trees in Norwood Cherrylee, and many lots are fronted by metal fencing or low brick walls.

Houses through the decades, with a wide range of prices

Some of the oldest homes in Norwood Cherrylee are early 20th-century bungalows, and the newest are 2020s contemporaries or custom homes. Most common, however, are ranch-style homes from the 1940s through the 1960s. Prices for single-family homes are typically in the $600,000s to over $1 million. "You could pay a million dollars for a place, and you sometimes get bigger lots, but it depends," says Aguilar. She says multiunit properties with large lots are a versatile option for those who find them: "They'll buy one unit to live in and rent out the rest." Condos and townhouses, many of which date to the 1980s, have sold in the $200,000s to $600,000s. Residences on the neighborhood's west side will be closest to the San Gabriel Valley Airport, a general aviation facility. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works has a noise mitigation program that limits activities during certain times of day.
