San Marino = Some of the most expensive homes in the country found here 20 million+
Monterey Park = Hit and miss, full of mexican gangs
Burbank = nice but expensive, tons of movie sets etc there
Glendale = true suburb of LA.. expensive, not a lot of apartments
Temple City = Reasonable, tons of asians and not too bad. Still expensive though.. but probably the best so far chance at a cheap apt. Low crime mostly
Alta Dena and Arcadia are the same as temple city.. old school neighborhoods.. some apartments for the local college (Citrus College) and that's about it, closer to the mountains you get, the more expensive it is... closer to the freeway (10 fwy) you get.. the more ghetto it is..
SoCal is not cheap, but remember this.. anything under 1000 a month ..there's a good chance it's ghetto.
Seriously, where is this job going to be? Pasadena? Or..
