Cal Poly Pomona - Pomona, CA Area Guide

A scenic educational environment where the city meets the mountains

Suburban Public Nature Outdoors Mountains CPP

Cal Poly Pomona enjoys a terrific location in the suburban zone about halfway between Downtown Los Angeles and San Bernardino. Built on the site of a ranch owned by cereal magnate W.K. Kellogg, the university operates an Arabian horse research center in addition to the cutting edge Innovation Village on the south side of campus. Just minutes south of the San Gabriel Mountains, you’ll be able to make weekend trips into the vast and beautiful natural landscape of the region and enjoy stunning views of the peaks every day. The campus is one of the largest in the state, so when choosing a place to live you will definitely want to consider what buildings you’ll be frequenting-- if you plan to walk or bike to campus regularly, the neighborhoods to the southeast will be your best bet.
