Ganesha
Neighborhood in Pomona, California
Los Angeles County 91766, 91768
Ganesha manages to both encapsulate Southern California's past and lean into its contemporary advancements. As one delves deeper into the neighborhood, it's evident how Ganesha melds the old with the new, becoming a diverse representation of Californian living. “I would describe it as a pleasantly low-key mid-century neighborhood,” says local Realtor Fred Van Allen of First Team Real Estate. “It’s close to both the Cal Poly Pomona campus and central Pomona, and the highways are all right there. So it’s a pretty convenient place to live, all in all.”
Housing in Ganesha is made up of a combination of early 20th-century craftsman bungalows and mid-century ranch-style homes, along with some eclectic modern construction. Most residential streets are quite wide and lined with a combination of native trees and well-tended yards and gardens. Home prices in the neighborhood range from around $160,000 for a double-wide mobile home to $500,000 for a 1,500-square-foot ranch-style house, up to around $750,000 for a newly-built 1,800-square-foot two-story home.
For shopping aficionados, Ganesha offers a range of options. Independent boutiques, selling everything from contemporary fashion to auto parts line Holt Avenue and Mission Boulevard. For grocery needs, supermarkets like Cardenas provide fresh produce, reflecting California's rich agricultural bounty.
The culinary scene in Ganesha is equally varied. Local eateries, such as taquerias and family-run diners, provide authentic flavors of both the region and far-flung places. A variety of global cuisines, from popular Mexican diner Omana’s to highly-rated teriyaki spot Ginza Bowl, ensures that there's something for every palate. Those in search of some old-fashioned American chow, meanwhile, will enjoy the fare at longstanding neighborhood burger joint Angelo’s
When locals want to get a bit of fresh air, Bonelli Regional Park offers over 1,800 acres of green space. The park features over 14 miles of multi-use trails, along with the 250-acre Puddingstone Lake, a popular spot for swimming, fishing and boating. Whether you’re into kayaking, mountain biking, or plain old rec league softball, Bonelli Park has what you need.
Pomona Unified School District oversees the public schools in Ganesha. Most older students in the area attend neighborhood namesake Ganesha High School, which was named a Gold Ribbon School in 2015. Younger children, meanwhile, may attend Cortez Math and Science Magnet, which is rated 7 out of 10 on GreatSchools, or John Marshall Middle School.
Residents looking for a bit of entertainment have a wealth of options at their fingertips. Nearby downtown Pomona is home to popular music venue the Fox Theater Pomona, the nationally renowned American Museum of Ceramic Art, and a number of popular bars. Or you can check out Ganesha’s own Chronos Escape Room, by far the most popular escape room in the area.
Ganesha is a neighborhood that offers a rich and varied experience to its residents. From its historic homes to its contemporary shopping and dining options, it stands as a testament to the region's growth while honoring its roots. Whether you're a resident or a visitor, Ganesha welcomes you with open arms, offering a slice of Californian life that's both unique and familiar.
