Best kept secrets of Diamond Bar, CA
Been meaning to ask this. Rent is about $2,422/month for a decent place. Crime rate is something to consider -Diamond Bar sits at 127.7 per 100K. Poverty rate is 6.9%, which is pretty low. It's a a smaller city city with about 53,750 people. You can expect to pay around $2,422 for rent here. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Nice parks and trails
- Diverse community
- Lots of new development
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Boring for young people
Anyone in a similar situation? Thanks! Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
