Rosemead is a San Gabriel Valley city where suburban calm meets one of Los Angeles County's most celebrated food cultures, all just 12 miles from downtown LA. The city's storefronts and independent restaurants draw visitors from across the county. Parks, golf courses, and bike paths make it easy to stay active, and the city's compact six square miles keeps daily errands close at hand.
Renters will find a range of apartment communities, single-story garden-style buildings, and townhomes spread across mostly low-rise residential streets. Newer construction in the northeast features Spanish-style stucco exteriors and clay-tile roofs, while older parts of the city offer California bungalows and midcentury ranch-style architecture.
Edison International, one of the country's largest electric utilities, has its headquarters in Rosemead. The city is also home to the University of the West and sits within easy reach of Cal State Los Angeles, Caltech, and East Los Angeles College.
