A San Gabriel Valley suburb with a low price point

West Puente Valley provides a quiet, suburban setting full of midcentury ranch-style homes. Although it's a pretty calm, slow neighborhood, newcomers are flocking to it. “It's booming right now. The value of properties is a really low entry price, so it’s up-and-coming,” says Realtor Men Ung, who works with Grandmark Realty Inc. and has a couple of years of experience in the area. Economical prices, especially compared to other parts of LA County, is one of the community’s biggest draws. But many enjoy the area’s understated atmosphere, emphasized by family-friendly neighborhood parks and minimal through traffic.

Ranch-style homes at low prices in West Puente Valley

The community is primarily residential, composed of streets lined with sycamore trees and single-family homes. The area was widely developed in the 1950s, giving West Puente Valley a cohesive midcentury look of ranch-style homes and attached garages. The front yards have enough space for garden beds, which are sometimes decorated with palm trees and rose bushes. Most also have backyards with patios and peek-a-boo views of the San Gabriel Mountains. Price tags range from $500,000 to $800,000. “It’s one of the spots that’s still affordable compared to a lot of pockets of LA,” says Realtor Rodrigo Franco of Re/Max Time Realty, who has over two decades of experience in the region. In comparison, a ranch-style home in West Covina can go up to $1.5 million. This makes the area desirable, so prospective buyers should watch the inventory closely. “It’s a fast market. Anything listed will sell within 20 days,” Ung says.
