Walnut is a highly-Asian dominated area, and many people come here for the small and safety community. It's elementary, middle, and high schools are all ranked very well and have good teachers and staff. Walnut is very small, which I believe is a plus; It is surrounded by larger cities such as Diamond Bar, Rowland Heights, and Pomona. Another pro is that it contains Mt. Sac, one of the best community colleges, and is also extremely close to Cal Poly Pomona College. There is a variety of stores and restaurants throughout Walnut, but not much entertainment besides parks and the teen center.
The houses are very expensive, but the community of people who live there is very close-knit and friendly. Their public school system provides a very good education, but as a result, there is a poisonous competitive nature among the students in each school. Restaurants and grocery stores are very easy to reach, and there is also shopping available. It has access to the Metro bus system for the commute. Overall, a very good town!
Walnut is one of the most beautiful suburbs of Los Angeles county. The city has a rural Forrest feel to it and is full of outdoor hiking trails and public parks. The city is exceptionally clean and people are very nice. Violent crime is non existent thanks largely to a great sheriffs department that patrols the area. The city offers lots of things to do like concerts in the park, trick or treating festivals, movies in the park, food truck festivals and much more. It’s convenient access to OC and LA make it a great place to call home. Walnut remains one of the few places in California where children grow up in a wholesome environment. I wouldn’t raise my family anywhere else.
