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.

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.
