This San Gabriel Valley city is perfect for families

Affordable Convenient Mountains Commuter

Irwindale is a small city in the San Gabriel Valley that’s part of Los Angeles County and provides a slightly more laid-back vibe at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. About a 25-minute drive (on a good day) from Downtown Los Angeles, Irwindale offers residents a slew of relatively affordable rentals in a charming SoCal suburban landscape. The Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area sits in the heart of Irwindale, providing a convenient outdoor space in which to enjoy the LA climate.
