Montebello Overview

A Spanish translation for 'beautiful mountain, Montebello is a highly-desired locale in the welcoming confines of Los Angeles County. California living doesn't get much better than this west coast hot spot, boasting nearby seaside views and a budding population of over 60,000.

What is the history of Montebello?

The site of numerous skirmishes during the Revolutionary War, including the infamous Battle of Rio San Gabriel, Montebello grew rapidly after the establishment of the Salt Lake Railroad towards the turn of the century. Agriculture proved a local commodity, and by 1912 the city held its first flower show. Beautification projects around the city landscape have continued ever since, with the discovery of oil deposits in 1917 changing the economic and physical landscape of the region forever.

How is the weather in Montebello?

California sunshine is in no short supply for those living in Montebello rentals, with summers warm and bright and rainstorms a relative rarity. Spring and fall are similarly pleasant, with April and May the best chances for rain. Snow is practically a myth in this west coast city.

How do I get around town?

The city is home to the 6th largest public transportation system in LA County, with extensive bus service thanks to Montebello Bus Lines. Over 60 buses currently serve residents of Montebello apartments, and the local Metrolink also offers some curb-to-curb service. Seniors and handicapped residents can also benefit from the free Montebello Dial-a-Taxi. 

What is the Montebello commute like?

A trio of major roadways triangulate the city limits, including Interstate-5, Route 60 and I-605, and those commuting to greater Los Angeles will inevitably find themselves using one or all at some point. LA traffic is notorious for good reason, and those doing the 9-to-5 run will want to allow plenty of extra time for getting to work. Traffic around the city proper is generally a swift affair, although road construction causes delays with some regularity.

What are the local media outlets?

The famed 'LA Times' is the most widely-read print outlet in the city, and a number of regional periodicals focus on arts and entertainment options for locals. Radio is eclectic, running from classic rock favorites to urban jams, and talk radio is in high supply including political and sport topics. Montebello apartment residents will rarely want for television options, with just about every major network well-represented by local affiliates.

Why live in Montebello, CA?

With a thriving local economic base thanks to heathcare and schooling industries, as well as an abundance of public parkland, those calling Montebello rentals home have much to celebrate. Over 20,000 trees line the downtown streets, and the city's long history of agriculture is in full bloom with fruit trees and flowers. Whether a working young professional starting a career or a growing family eager to put down California roots, Montebello apartments for rent are an excellent option for any west coast resident.

What Montebello landmarks should I see?

The Montebello Municipal Golf Course and Country Club dates all the way back to 1911, and Reggie Rodriguez Park takes its name in honor of a local veteran, both reached with ease from many local LA County apartments for rent. The Juan Matias Sanchez Adobe is the oldest structure still standing in the city, with origins dating back to 1845, and the pony rides at Grant Rea Park is something the whole family will enjoy.

What is there to do around Montebello?

Hit the tables at the Commerce Casino, or job the trails lakeside at the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area, both within easy reach of most Montebello apartments. The California Science Center is an excellent spot to dive into exploration, and Walt Disney Concert Hall is known across the globe for its epic acoustics.

Any annual festivals or Montebello events to know?

LA Beer Fest is sure to quench the thirst of even the most high and dry local, with the Montebello Classic Car Show drawing autos from far and wide every year. The Cherry Blossom Fest brings about floral magic and plenty of wine tastings, with July 4th an annual fireworks-laden celebration across the city.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Hit those legendary California beaches for some fun in the sun, or take a ride to the famous Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, both a short drive from most apartments in Montebello. Don't forget about the star-filled Hollywood Hills, also just a quick bounce away.

Where is the best place to move in Montebello?

Montebello apartments are as wide-reaching and unique as the residents that call them home, ranging from luxurious downtown lofts complete with sweeping Cali views, to economic 3-bedroom family setups, complete with pet-friendly apartments and plenty of backyard space for the kids to run. So what are you waiting for? Discover all the a new Montebello apartment can do for you!
