Monterey Park is centrally located in Los Angeles County. Our westside neighborhood in the city enjoys multiple access points to both I-10 and I-710 freeways; all within a 5-minute drive. Downtown LA is a mere 6.8 miles to our west. However, due to its topography and ring road planning, the local streets are void of thoroughfare traffic. These planning features allow the neighborhood to feel secluded while being commute friendly.

Within a short 5-minute ride is Atlantic Blvd., a commercial artery for Monterey Park (and western SGV) with international and regional banks, popular supermarkets, multiplex cinemas, shopping and a myriad of dining options. Closer to home are the public Monterey Park Golf Club and driving range while 2 blocks away is Highlands Park with its tennis courts, children play areas and a jogging/walking loop; all of which provide residents with recreational and exercising opportunities.

Highlands Park is also home to Monterey Highlands Elementary and Middle Schools. The elementary school is number 1 in the Alhambra School District and is in the upper 4 percentile of elementary schools in California (ranked by US News). Also conveniently close are California State University, Los Angeles (2-miles) and Mark Keppel High School (3-miles).

The house sits on a large corner lot nestled into the side of the hill featuring a pond in a large garden rich with a variety of plants including flowering and aromatic trees, matured fruit-bearing trees as well as a long side yard that doubles as a compact dog run. This charming home in Monterey Park has so much to offer! While needing some updates to reach its full potential, it provides ample space for a home office and entertaining. Additions to the house were completed in 1983. The kitchen and downstairs bathrooms were renovated in 1990. Don’t miss this diamond in the rough!
