La Verne Real Estate

 With the craggy background of the San Gabriel Mountains, the city of La Verne provides residents and visitors a hint of the past in the midst of modern living. La Verne is just to the east of San Dimas and just to the west of Claremont. Though it used to be a center for the agriculture industry, especially citrus, La Verne is now attracting urbanites from Los Angeles and its huge suburbs. People are drawn to this community because of its scenic beauty and excellent location. According to the 2000 census, the population is about 32,000. The median age of residents is 37.7 and the estimated median household income in 2005 was $70,100.

La Verne Parks and Recreation

 La Verne is home to 18 parks, which provide a diverse mixture of recreation and leisure activities. The recently constructed Sports Park located at "D" Street and Durward Way borders Bonita High School. This million-dollar compound features several versatile fields for soccer and other sports, two baseball diamonds, an track that can be used in any weather, and lighted tennis courts.

 Heritage Park is located in the northern section of the city at Via de Mansion and Wheeler Avenue. Every spring, residents and visitors have the chance to pick oranges in the middle of the La Verne’s farming and citrus park and museum. The Sierra La Verne Country Club and Golf Course inhabits 111 acres in north La Verne. This private project offers golf in a striking foothill setting and offers local organizations to host golf tournaments. The banquet facilities can be rented for occasions such as parties and weddings. Marshall Canyon Golf, along with numerous equestrian, hiking and bike trails all give other opportunities to experience outdoor life in La Verne.

La Verne Neighborhoods and Home Prices

 Because of its prime location in the Inland Empire region of Southern California, La Verne is also a prime real estate market. Steady growth is expected to continue for some time. In 2005, the estimated median home value in La Verne was $555,600. This indicates a sizable increase from just five years earlier, when the estimated median home value was less than $300,000. The city is also home to the University of La Verne and close to Cal Poly Pomona, so it draws its share of college students as well. There is a mix of historical and contemporary homes in the city.

La Verne Entertainment

 La Verne also offers plenty of entertainment opportunities. The Old Towne Family Festival is always a big attraction, as is the local Farmer’s Market, which is open Saturdays from 9 am to 1 pm. The Los Angeles County Fairgrounds and Raceway are also nearby, providing thrills for racing fans. Bracket Airfield, which is also fairly close by, sometimes hosts amazing air shows. In addition, La Verne is home to many excellent restaurants and dining facilities, such as Wharehouse Pizza, Café Allegro, Tenderloin and the legendary Gambino’s restaurant and bakery. There are also a plethora of superb equestrian and hiking trails throughout the city and surrounding area, as well as many fine golf courses.

 
Ontario International Airport is also nearby for La Verne’s passionate travelers. And La Verne’s neighboring city, San Dimas, provides a look into the history of California through a variety of local museums.
