From Spanish Revival to midcentury homes across the city
Monterey Park's streets are largely made up of single-family homes, many with Spanish Revival and midcentury modern architecture. There are also a few townhouses, and these single-family listings generally range from the lower $500,000s to about $2.3 million, depending on the home size and condition. Condos offer lower price points, usually from the mid-$300,000s to $1.3 million.
Prices here tend to be a little higher than areas like downtown LA or East LA, but you get more space and a quieter atmosphere. “Monterey Park offers a really nice combination of suburban lifestyle and access to LA’s arts and entertainment scene,” says local Realtor Fabian Garcia with Century 21. “There are a lot of nice houses in the city, nice ambience, and if you want to catch a ballgame or visit a museum, downtown LA and Pasadena are [about] 15 minutes away.”
On the housing front, Monterey Park offers a mix of residential styles.
Condos and apartments are also available in Monterey Park.

Monterey Park is well-known among Angelenos for its shopping and dining.
Living close to busy restaurants and shopping centers
If there’s one thing the city is known for, it’s food. The restaurants are mostly along Garvey Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard, from chains to locally owned spots that serve Vietnamese, Korean, Thai and Chinese options. Some of the most popular places to dine are:
NBC Seafood Restaurant, a Cantonese restaurant that’s popular for its dim sum serving style
Chubby Cattle, an all-you-can-eat experience where you grill your own meal, like slices of Wagyu beef
Mama Lu's Dumpling House, a go-to for xiaolongbao and other Taiwanese and Chinese comfort food
You might get groceries at Ralphs or 99 Ranch Market, a supermarket with international goods. There are busy shopping centers along Atlantic Boulevard with national brands and unique spots like Daiso, a store that sells Japanese products.
Where to go to get outdoors or join a community event
At the heart of the city's recreational, Barnes Park is a popular spot to play on athletic courts, cool off in the pool or visit for annual events. The community gets together throughout the year for events like:
Cherry Blossom Festival, a spring celebration with tea ceremonies and live performances like taiko drumming
Cinco de Mayo Celebration, where people browse vendors and enjoy things like mariachi bands and dancing
Farmers' Market, a Thursday occurrence where people can buy fresh produce and baked goods
Garvey Ranch Park is another busy spot, but more for the Monterey Park Historical Museum and an observatory operated by the Los Angeles Astronomical Society. For hiking, Edison Trails Park offers local routes, and the Angeles National Forest and San Gabriel Mountains are a short drive away.
Even locals who visit it every day still admire the tranquility of Cascades Park.
The local parks in Monterey Park come to life with activity.

Residents fall in one of four school districts in Monterey Park
Four school districts cover Monterey Park. Most families are either in the Alhambra Unified or Montebello Unified School District, but small corners of the city are part of the Los Angeles Unified or Garvey School District. The houses here are close to a range of public elementary schools, and St. Thomas Aquinas School is a private option.
Monterey Highlands Elementary School teaches kindergarten and features a STEM curriculum.
Keppel High School in Monterey Park offers academic programs and community events.

How residents get around by car, bus or train
Sidewalks spread throughout the city, so you’ll see people out for a stroll in the mornings and evenings. When you want to get out of the city, though, you’ll need to drive or use public transportation. The city’s location means you're less than 10 miles from Downtown LA thanks to Interstate 10. Traffic is a constant part of life in LA County, so the trip downtown can take more than 20 minutes during peak hours. Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus lines and Montebello Bus Lines operate in the area, while the city's Spirit Bus circulator connects to various points locally. For regional commutes, the nearest Metrolink train station is near the California State University campus, where trains reach places like downtown LA and San Bernardino.
