Monterey Park Overview

Ideally located just a few short miles from the beacon city of Los Angeles, Monterey Park is a highly sought-after zip code in the popular state of California. Consistently ranked near the top when it comes to local schools, location and a steady economic base, an apartment in Monterey Park is definitely a sign of someone who is going places.

What is the history of Monterey Park?

Coming into popularity in the late 1800s, Monterey Park attracted a diverse population (including a high Asian base) thanks to the availability of employment in potato farming and the construction of a large dam on nearby Garvey Lake. By the 1920s the city had laid claim to inventing the first bag of potato chips, and the largescale construction of Spanish-styled residences took a foothold. Post-war 1950's yielded yet another growth explosion in the city, and soon after Monterey Park often became referred to as the 'Asian Beverly Hills'. Today, the city remains a hotly in-demand location, with a largely affluent base of residents.

How is the weather in Monterey Park?

LA County is known for its spectacular weather, and Monterey Park apartment residents can expect a large number of sunny days and ideal temps. Winter can scarely be considered such, with snow practically a myth, and while it rains enough to keep the flowers in full bloom, dreary days are in short supply in this idyllic California city.

How do I get around town?

LAX is the popular airport in the region, and many Monterey Park apartment residents still claim one or more private vehicles for getting around.

What is the Monterey Park commute like?

"A trio of major interstates cater to the city, including I-10, the Long Beach Freeway, and SR 60, making largely travel to other destinations and job markets a breeze. Still, greater LA traffic gridlock is a true phenomenon, and those commuting to downtown Los Angeles will want to allow plenty of extra drive time to reach their destinations. May of those living in Monterey Park rentals tend to stay close to home however, and cross-city traffic patterns tend to move briskly. "

What are the local media outlets?

The 'LA Times' is a major print news source in the city, as are a variety of periodicals targeted to the large Asian polulation. The 'San Gabriel Valley Tribune' is also popular, and radio is a diverse offering of classical, modern rock, top 40 jams and Asian cultural programming. Broadcast options are large, thanks to a huge array of affiliates in greater LA County.

Visit the Garvey Ranch Observatory, home to over 1,000 books and an impressive collection of telescopes, and Jardin El Encanto is simply a must-see specimen of gorgeous architecture and tile work dating back to the 1920s, both located just a short drive from many Monterey Park apartment options.

What is there to do around Monterey Park?

Spend a day immersed in a variety of works at the Vincent Price Art Museum, or take the kids and the dog to the fun of Lugo Park, the largest of its kind in the area. Tokyo Fried Chicken is a hugely popular eatery in the city, and Taihei Sushi will require a reservation for sure.
