Los Angeles - Pasadena/Alhambra area
I might have to live in the Pasadena, Alhambra or Monterey Park
areas. What parts of these places have crime problems? I am told the part of Pasadena near Alta Dena is not so good, but the others are okay. I've driven through MP and Alhambra and it looked pretty nice. |

Los Angeles - Pasadena/Alhambra area
There are crime problems everywhere in LA. * *There are crime problems everywhere. All very true, but don't forget about the statistician who didn't know how to swim -- drowned in a river with an average depth of three inches. Your risk of crime can vary a lot even from one neighborhood to another, let alone one city to another. These sites suggest that if the original poster is determined to live in the LA area, as many millions of people do, Pasadena and Alhambra would be examples of relatively nice places. http://www.idcide.com/citydata/ca/alhambra.htm http://www.lapdcrimemaps.org/ City websites are also useful, since the LA area is a conterminous hodgepodge of jurisdictions, a lot of which do their own reporting. These all *are* cities and one should never quite let down one's guard, of course. Beyond that, I'd suggest that he or she size up shortlisted neighborhoods by watching and listening at various times of day. Are there signs of blight? Young adult males idling around with nothing to do during the work day? At night, is there an active social life, or a sense of menace, or just emptiness? How are people behaving? Don't forget that there are threats other than crime. In some parts of the general vicinity, wildfires and their aftermath partner, mudslides, can be a concern, and of course one must be prepared for an earthquake, in terms of not only having supplies in home and car, but also choosing a dwelling wisely in terms of construction style and location. Getting a bit out of the safety/security realm and into more general issues of well-being, consider smog, noise, and above all, commute traffic when matching jobsite to homesite. Best of luck, --Joe |
