The Neighborhood

The Alhambra holds all the charm of a small neighborhood, with all the conveniences of the city right at your doorstep. Known as the ‘Gateway to San Gabriel Valley,’ Alhambra is a city of quiet, well-manicured residential neighborhoods, a charming downtown district and all the amenities you’ll ever need.

Pick up fresh produce and delicious local specialties at the weekly Farmer’s Market. Take a swim at the Granada Park aquatics center. Step into Franciscan history at the nearby San Gabriel Mission - one of the four oldest missions in all of California - or enjoy Sunday services at any of Alhambra’s many churches, temples and synagogues. Then browse to your heart's content at the nearby shops at Fremont Plaza or the quaint shops on Main Street.

Our Downtown is also home to more than 100 eateries featuring menus for a wide range of tastes. Enjoy specialties from China, Cuba, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Middle East, Thailand and Vietnam. There are also traditional American-style restaurants located throughout the city, and other fun places to “grab a bite.”

The peace and quiet of the countryside and the conveniences of a thriving city. Enjoy the best of both worlds at The Alhambra Retirement Community.
