ChinaTown - Basically Monterey Park, Alhambra,
Arcadia (great school districts), Temple City, Hacienda Heights, Rowland Heights,
San Gabriel, San Marino, Walnut, and Diamond Bar all have a high Chinese
Populations. If a city has a good school district, it usually has a high
Chinese and/or Korean population. See www.chinesediner.com
for restaurants. Monterey Park and Alhambra is not so much the school
district, but being close to Los Angeles without being in LAUSD. Monterey
Park and Alhambra are now for more recent immigrants and most Chinese have moved
out to areas with better school districts. City of Industry is also a
magnet for businesses and is surrounded by communities with a high proportion of
Chinese if there is a good school district. El Monte due to the cost of
land is attracting more Chinese, which is a huge change for the city.
