El Monte, California has a long history as a diverse, working class town going back to New Deal programs that resettled Dust Bowl farmers in the area and the El Monte Berry Strike, where Japanese and Mexican laborers protested low pay and institutional racism. These days, many residents work in education and health care instead of the fields, though a rural heritage remains. Residents appreciate the excellent schools, variety of small local businesses, and close-knit community.
Though El Monte is more affordable than many LA suburbs, housing prices are still above national averages. The average rent on a one-bedroom apartment is $2,300, up a whopping 28% over 2021. The median house price is $700K, up 19.1% since 2021. Moving to El Monte may mean waiting for the right property to open up or settling for less storage space.
That’s why you should keep self-storage in mind for any move to El Monte. With facilities all over town, it’s easy to find a place that’s close to home. And whether you need a short-term lease while you wait for a house closing or want a longer term storage solution, self-storage is likely cheaper than you think. If you’re thinking of a move to this great LA County city, be sure to consider self-storage.
