We moved from Temple City and settled down in Walnut since 2015. We love Walnut so much. It's located in Los Angeles County and it is one of the best places to live in California. It's great for young families because the Walnut Valley Unified School District is known to be one of the top public school districts in all of Southern California and many people who live here are very well educated. Another reason I like our city because it is so green and beautiful and it gives me a balance of small town living and city life. Some people like their cities have more restaurants or businesses but we like Walnut because it's more residential yet convenient and it's next to Rowland Heights & West Covina. The largest Walnut racial/ethnic groups are Asian (65.2%) followed by Hispanic (18.5%) and White (9.8%). The city of Walnut also provides a lot of city services and they maintain the road quite well. The crime rate here is much lower than other cities but there are more bulgary crimes in recent years. However, we still feel safe to live here because we have neighborhood watch and we know many of our neighbors and the people are friendly here.
There are some good restaurants in city of Walnut and you can find some good ones across the Mt. Sac (Mt. San Antonio College). I would suggest the poke place I like "Poke Maki by Mr. 7" on Grand & Amar, Taco Nazo and Pro Tacos, Curry Pizza Company on Lemon (fusion style Indian x American style pizza for to go), Aroma Craft Coffee and Native Fields on Amar (good for breakfast or lunch), and Ninja Sushi (delicious and authentic Japanese sushi), Big Rice Korean Cuisine and Bangkok BBQ on Lemon & La Puente Ave (Vons plaza), and Starbucks, Pieology pizza are located at The Village (on Grand & Valley). The shopping area are pretty much located at the Village with my favorite stores TJ Maxx, Home Goods, and Kohls is located on the other side close to In N Out.
They also have Chinese New Year event, 4th of July celebrations, music festival, winter festival, etc. We are proud to live in our city of Walnut.
