Alhambra is a great gateway to LA
With its contemporary condos, affordable apartment stays, and well-connected Alhambra vacation rentals, this cut out of the San Gabriel Valley could just be the perfect ticket for a family trip to the City of Angels. Not only will you get to enjoy all the bucket-list-busting sights to the west, from Hollywood Boulevard to the Dodger Stadium to Universal City and the beaches of Santa Monica, but you'll also be perfectly placed for explorations along the trails of the Angeles National Forest, the rugged San Gabriel Mountains, San Bernardino, and beyond.
Explore LA's iconic sites from Alhambra
There's no reason why an all-out tour of the major sights of Los Angeles can't be launched from a base in Alhambra. In fact, just a short jaunt from here and you'll be strutting between the glowing brass plaques on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, or rubbing shoulders with celebrities on Sunset Boulevard. Keep going and you'll reach the lanky palms and powdery sands of Santa Monica Beach. Or go south, to central LA, where totemic attractions like the Grand Central Market, the Japanese American National Museum, and the Dodger Stadium poke above the streets.
Chinese five spice and festivities in Alhambra
If you've booked your Alhambra vacation rental for the wild festivities of the Lunar New Year celebrations, then great _ this whole district comes alive with sizzling Chinese food stalls and whirling dragon processions. If not, then there's still plenty to get up to. Think about taking guided tours of the Hollywood Hills and the iconic star-studded walks of LA to the west. Or, you could strap on the walking boots and hit the highlands _ the reserves of the Angeles National Forest rise with the peaks just 30 minutes by car to the north.
Score Alhambra vacation rentals in the summertime
While the price of condos and villas all around central Los Angeles and the Hollywood Hills soars in the summertime, the cost of bedding down in little Alhambra remains reasonable. That's one of the main reasons that this cut out of San Gabriel is popular during the warmer season in South Cali, which typically hits its height between June and August. Of course, renting in the spring and fall is even easier on the wallet, and still means seeing the LA sights with sunny, dry days aplenty.
