The neighbourhoods

Where Rowland Heights actually breaks down, in the desk's own words.

Full neighbourhood file →

Colima Road / Nogales Street business district

The community's commercial spine, lined with Asian supermarkets, strip-mall restaurants, and import businesses that grew alongside the 1990s wave of Taiwanese and mainland Chinese settlement that gave the area its "Little Taipei" nickname.

Rowland Homestead area

Built over what was originally a working pig farm and orange groves on the Rowland family's own share of Rancho La Puente; the family still owns and leases part of the property near Gale Avenue and Nogales Street, behind today's 99 Ranch Market.

Schabarum Park area

The hillside tract surrounding Peter F.

Fullerton Road corridor

A north-south commercial and residential corridor that became one of the region's busiest streets after Harbor Boulevard opened a direct 1992 connection to northern Orange County and the city of La Habra.

Pathfinder Road hillside tracts

Later-built hillside residential tracts along Pathfinder Road toward the Diamond Bar border, briefly the 2012 parking spot for the 340-ton Levitated Mass granite boulder on its journey to LACMA.

East Rowland Heights (Rancho Rincón de la Brea)

The section between Nogales Street and Brea Canyon Road that falls within the separate Rancho Rincón de la Brea land grant rather than Rancho La Puente, bordering La Habra Heights and Brea to the south.

A day around here

Ordinary life in Rowland Heights, the way it actually runs — not a highlight reel.

Morning

An early walk at Carolyn Rosas Park, before the day starts properly.

Afternoon

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

Evening

Dinner at Duo-Pot, then a short drive back to whichever neighbourhood you call home.
