Is san Gabriel a good place to live ?

Question

I am going to start work in San Gabriel. Does anyone know of any good places to live around there? I haven't heard much about it, although i've looked up statistics on the place. Are other places in Los angeles better for living? I'm looking for relatively cheaper places to live around there.

Answer 1

sure, it's safe and nice people who mind their own business  live there

Answer 2

Overall, yes. But shouldn't you be asking this in the Travel section?? They may be more helpful to you. This is Dining Out.

Answer 3

Pasadena and Sierra Madre (Highly recommend both cities....lived in Pasadena & Sierra Madre for 30 years before moving to Florida).  Also check out South Pasadena. All of these cities are 10-15 minutes (on surface street) to San Gabriel.  Consider Pasadena as there are many apartments available in that area (i.e.: South of Colorado Blvd., between Rosemead Blvd. & Los Robles.  Sierra Madre is a gem of a city, very Americana and includes a great small town "Fourth of July Parade".  Other great cities are South Pasadena & Arcadia.  There are alot of apts. available in these communities. San Gabriel is diverse, however it has become a predominately Asian community, surrounded with many Asian businesses and restaurants.  

From a law enforcement perspective, Sierra Madre, South Pasadena, Pasadena & Arcadia are very very good communities to live in. San Gabriel is good too. However, I'd recommend the first three in that order.

Sierra Madre's rents are a little better.  There are many along Sierra Madre Blvd. and you may find a good one there.  Hope this info helps you.
