Raising a family in Monterey Park -thoughts?

OK so I'm retired and Poverty rate is 10.7%, which is around average. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Worth the trade-offs? Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.

I've been here 5 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is healthcare. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the public transit is legit. And if you're into running, this place is excellent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Pine Hills side vs the Old Town side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

It's not for everyone but it works for us..
