Freelancing from South El Monte -experience?

Homes are going for about $578,100 on average. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. What do you all think? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from San Francisco about 4 years ago. The main reasons were school and school.

Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Affordable housing options
- Diverse dining options

Cons that are real:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Limited high-paying job options

Financially, we've found it improving compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are reasonable, gas is tough.

Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
