Housing

I heard that pomona has some pretty rough neighborhoods. What city is a good place to live if you're going to pomona? So a place right by school is pretty rough too? And what do people mean when they're saying rough?

According to what I hear from faculty, Pomona has one of the highest crime rates in the nation. HOWEVER, I've never even suspected that fact because the campus and close-surroundings are quite safe.

You should live in:

SOUTH OF CPP
1. Diamond Bar (2+ miles from CPP) -Very clean & Asian populated. Nice neighborhood.
2. Walnut - city adjecent to Diamond Bar

WEST
1. West Covina - it's nice plus it has a shopping mall, ikea, and other retail stores all around.

NORTH
1. San Dimas - calm place, but pricey since part of the city rests on a hill
2. Glendora - i think that rent is expensive, but it's quiet

EAST
1. Montclair (5-10 miles) - Slightly more upscale, but expensive

My preferences based on value: Diamond Bar, West Covina, Walnut. The rest are either too pricey for me, distant, or lacking some aspects of life (ie entertainment)
