Life in South El Monte as a young professional
Hey, I've been here for 18 years and Homes are going for about $578,100 on average. Household incomes average around $67,153 in South El Monte. Median household income is $67,153, which feels about average for the area. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Walkable downtown
- Good internet infrastructure
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Mosquitoes and humidity
