Whittier

Whittier has an old-town feel that a lot of the surrounding San Gabriel Valley cities lost decades ago, largely thanks to Uptown Whittier and the historic district around it, where the original brick storefronts and Quaker-founded roots of the city are still visible. Housing near there tends to be older, 1900s through 1930s Craftsman and Spanish-style homes on modest lots, while the Friendly Hills and East Whittier areas further out bring in larger mid-century and later homes with more space, some climbing into the hills with a bit of view and separation from neighbors.

Whittier College gives the city a small academic anchor, and that college-town thread runs through Uptown's older architecture and slower pace even though the city as a whole is fairly large and spread out. Families are drawn here for a mix of reasons, good access to the 605 and 60 freeways, a historic downtown that still functions as an actual gathering place, and housing stock with real character that's harder to find at similar prices closer to the city core. A lot of people who grew up in Whittier end up staying or coming back once they have families of their own, which gives certain neighborhoods a real generational continuity.
