Monterey Park, beyond the house.

The neighbourhoods

Where Monterey Park actually breaks down, in the desk's own words.

Full neighbourhood file →

Monterey Hills / King's Hills

The oak-covered hills that gave the city its name on an old government survey map; U.S.

Midwick View Estates (the Cascades)

A 1920s garden community designed by Peter N.

Ramona Acres

Platted in 1906 north of Garvey Avenue and east of Garfield Avenue, it was the area's first subdivision, laid out a decade before Monterey Park incorporated.

Monterey Highlands

By 1920, Asian immigrant farmers were growing potatoes and flowers and running nurseries here, improving the old Monterey Pass Trail — now Garvey Avenue — to ship produce into Los Angeles.

Atlantic Times Square

Monterey Park's largest redevelopment project, opened in 2010 with roughly 205,000–230,000 square feet of retail, an AMC multiplex, and 210 condominiums on the floors above.

A day around here

Ordinary life in Monterey Park, the way it actually runs — not a highlight reel.

Morning

An early walk at Barnes Memorial Park, before the day starts properly.

Afternoon

An hour at Langley Park, between the errands that never show up on a listing sheet.

Evening

Dinner at Longten Cafe, then a short drive back to whichever neighbourhood you call home.
