South El Monte Overview

Located in the San Gabriel Valley to the west of Los Angeles, El Monte offers beautiful weather, diverse communities, and a wealth of entertainment and recreation. As the San Gabriel Valley grows increasingly crowded, many are drawn to apartments in El Monte because of the city's rich history and excellent location.

What is the history of South El Monte?

El Monte was visited by many pioneers and missionaries before it was officially incorporated in 1912. The city was connected to several important trails that played a role in westward migration, including the Old Spanish and Santa Fe Trails. El Monte was largely rural and home to many walnut groves for much of its history, but its population has grown rapidly since World War II as many families look to settle somewhere near Los Angeles, yet removed from its frantic pace.

How is the weather in South El Monte?

El Monte enjoys the same beautiful weather as much of southern California. It receives far more sun than rain, and is warm almost year round, though the city is usually a bit cooler than its neighbors in the desert to the east and south.

How do I get around town?

El Monte is well-connected to the region through public transportation. The El Monte Station serves as the last stop of L.A. Metro bus's Silver Line as well as a stop on the San Bernardino Train Line, and the regional Foothill Transit provides bus service to the entire San Gabriel Valley. The city is also home to the San Gabriel Valley Airport, which offers local and regional flights.

What is the South El Monte commute like?

Interstate 10 is the most important road in El Monte, it runs east-west through the entire state, and provides the fastest connection to Los Angeles. State Route 605 is an important north-south corridor through the city.

What are the local media outlets?

El Monte's radio and television stations are dominated by the Los Angeles market, but the city is served by several regional newspapers that provide a more local focus, including the daily San Gabriel Valley Tribune and the weekly Mid-Valley News and El Monte Examiner.

Why live in South El Monte, CA?

El Monte is a vibrant community that's within commuting distance from Los Angeles, yet it offers a much more relaxed, suburban environment. The city is much more diverse than many of its neighbors, with sizeable Hispanic and Asian populations, and it is very family-friendly: more than half of households have children. The city also has a very rich history of entertainment, and is still home to a very active community of artists, musicians, and other creative people.

What South El Monte landmarks should I see?

El Monte's Historical Museum documents the rich history of both the city and the region. The city is also home to several beautiful parks, which host many different youth sports and family activities.

What is there to do around South El Monte?

El Monte has a particularly long history with the entertainment industry, the city was home to the El Monte Legion Stadium, which hosted many early rock & roll concerts after they were discouraged in Los Angeles, and it was also the site of Gay's Lion Farm, a zoo that hosted retired circus lions until its closing in World War II. Today, the city is home to many artists, and there are plenty of recreation opportunities in its many parks.

Any annual festivals or South El Monte events to know?

El Monte hosts the annual South El Monte Fall Fair, a family-friendly event that includes food, local musicians, and events appropriate for young children such as a petting zoo and pony rides.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Since it's located so close to Los Angeles, El Monte residents can easily access that city's international airport and travel all around the world. El Monte is also close to southern California's many national forests and Joshua Tree National Park.

Where is the best place to move in South El Monte?

Some of the most desirable apartments in El Monte are found in the City Center neighborhood, this area is easily walkalble and is close to many businesses and public transportation options. Other popular neighborhoods include the area near Rush Street and Peck Road, which is a particularly diverse area that includes many older residences built after World War II, and the Durfee Avenue area, which is home to many college students as well as families.
