Biggest downsides of living in Alhambra?
Hey, I've been here for 8 years and Household incomes average around $85,189 in Alhambra. The median home value here is around $812,700, which is pretty steep. Average temperature is around 62--F, so the weather is moderate. The unemployment rate is 3.5%, which is pretty low. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Good schools
- Diverse community
- Lots of new development
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- High property taxes
- Lack of diversity
- Poor road conditions
- Far from major airports
