Living in Pomona, CA

For those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of living in the big city, Pomona offers a far quieter way of life. This mostly residential suburb isn’t all cookie cutter homes though, the historical downtown area is home to various bars and restaurants that do stay open later, and while the nightlife doesn’t really compare to downtown LA, you’ll find something to keep you entertained.

Pomona has occasionally been given a bad reputation in the past, though many residents are happy with the rate of change, and development in their city. Empty spaces are being filled, and more businesses are coming in. With them, the streets are undergoing essential repairs and the city as a whole is being given a facelift.

Things to Do in Pomona, CA

While Pomona certainly has a mostly urban feel, there are several parks and green spaces to enjoy within the city. Lincoln Park Historical District is a favorite of many locals, and while it’s by no means the largest, or most well-equipped, it offers peace, tranquility, and privacy, making you feel a million miles away from the city. Alternatively, the Veterans Park is good for dog walking, sports and summer concerts every Wednesday evening.

Shoppers can enjoy the Rio Rancho Mall complex, which features a wide variety of stores, from fashion to groceries, as well as a wide range of restaurants, gyms, and other services. Alternatively, the Downtown Collectors Street Faire is a great place to soak up a fun and friendly vibe and bag a bargain. With live music, food stands, and antique collectors and vendors, it’s part festival, part marketplace.

Lovers of the arts can take in shows and exhibitions at the Fox Theater, where you can enjoy fantastic local bands, theater shows, and much more. The art walk is another great way to take in arts and crafts from local and international artists. Running every second Saturday of the month, galleries across town take part, showcasing their latest exhibitions. For something a little different, seek out the Chalk Art Festival every November, and enjoy as the city bursts into color — why not try it yourself?

Finally, Pomona is home to the Los Angeles County Fair. Linked to the region’s agricultural past, the fair runs for over 20 days each September. Events ranging from concerts, competitions, and marching bands fill the days and nights, and there’s a wealth of things to do for all the family, including, of course, a huge variety of funfair rides and sideshows.

Tips for Renting in Pomona, CA

Your opinion and experience of living in Pomona can vary drastically depending on where you’re coming from. If you’re moving from LA proper, you can expect Pomona to be far quieter, with a slower, more rural and suburban pace of life. Having said that, the downtown area is still rather vibrant compared to other suburban cities of LA, and the city has a thriving arts and culture scene. You’ll also find that you’ll get more bang for your buck, as living costs are lower compared to downtown LA. On the flip side, you’ll probably have to travel further for work, and face long, frustrating commute times, as there are fewer employment opportunities within the city.

If you’re moving to Pomona from another state, the cost of living is 10% above the national average, so the chances are you’ll find it more expensive than you’re used to. The weather can also be an issue for those from colder, more northerly states, and the scorching summers can take some getting used to. Seek out houses or apartments with AC for a more comfortable life, and if you drive a private vehicle, AC will make those commutes a little better.
