A historic mission city turned peaceful Los Angeles suburb
Set 10 miles northeast of downtown LA, San Gabriel has grown from its 18th-century Spanish colonial roots into a suburban city shaped by immigration from Taiwan and Hong Kong. The city’s landscape tells its dual story: planners carefully balance the preservation of 18th-century adobe structures with the development of contemporary housing complexes, and the historic mission hosts both Spanish-era tours and lively Lunar New Year festivals. Entrepreneurship fuels the economy in this city of 40,000 people, with Asian food destinations like the San Gabriel Square shopping mall drawing visitors from around the region.

Longstanding Spanish Revival homes
“The reason people move to San Gabriel is a combination of the character of the community and the character of the homes,” says Executive Director Sarah Rogers who works with The Agency and has over a decade of experience in the area. North San Gabriel features newer, spacious homes showcasing Spanish Revival and new traditional architectural styles that drive higher pricing, especially around the San Gabriel Country Club. In contrast, the South of San Gabriel Village and Central San Gabriel areas provide lower-priced options, dominated by condos, townhomes and ranch-style homes.
San Gabriel’s housing market mirrors broader Los Angeles trends, with a median home sale price of around $1 million. “It’s a more affordable option than the neighboring community of San Marino,” Rogers says. “They're both beautiful areas, but San Gabriel is the more affordable option for most buyers.”
Newly built Spanish-style homes are popular in the San Gabriel neighborhood.
Most San Gabriel have rather small front yards.

The city’s Asian food scene is a defining feature of San Gabriel. Strip malls and shopping plazas like San Gabriel Square and San Gabriel Promenade offer a variety of sit-down restaurants and cafes, serving everything from boba tea to traditional push-cart dim sum and high-quality seafood. Restaurants are often set next to Asian-owned businesses like markets, boutiques and services such as beauty salons or dry cleaners. Nearby, the city of Alhambra’s additional shopping options include retailers like Kohl’s, JCPenney and Ross Dress For Less.

California’s 2025 wildfires caused record-breaking damage, and one of the areas affected was the historic neighborhood of Altadena, 9 miles from San Gabriel. The Eaton Fire destroyed 14,000 acres and forced thousands to evacuate their homes. Proactive preparation and real-time monitoring significantly improve safety during rapidly changing wildfire conditions.
The Lunar Lantern Festival at the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse
The San Gabriel Mission Playhouse, a historic Spanish-style theater built in 1927, is a well-preserved landmark in the community, serving as a venue for concerts, plays and classic film screenings. The Playhouse also hosts the Lunar Lantern Festival in February, bringing the community together to celebrate the end of the Chinese New Year and the first full moon of the lunar year.
