Is The San Gabriel Valley, Whittier a good place to live?

There are over 500 public green spaces nearby for residents to unwind in, like Turnbull Canyon Open Space and Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area.

What does the transportation in The San Gabriel Valley, Whittier look like?

Driving is a very good means of transportation in this community. The majority of real estate listings are a rather short car ride from the nearest highway, such as Foothill Freeway, and it is convenient to access a parking spot. However, commuting by transit can be difficult in this part of Monrovia by reason of the low service level. Nevertheless, there is the El Monte Station, Industry Station and Covina Station with access to the San Bernardino Line and RIverside Line. There are over 50 bus lines crossing the community, and bus stops are not very far from most houses. Walking in The San Gabriel Valley is not very common, despite the fact that many daily errands can be run without the use of a vehicle.
