Nestled within Los Angeles County, La Verne is a quaint community located at the foothills of the gorgeous San Gabriel Mountains and just on the edge of Pomona Valley. When it was established in 1906, residents made money by selling citrus fruits from the trees throughout the city. Most of the residents stopped tending to the trees after World War II ended - there are only two remaining orange groves left.
People looking for La Verne apartments for rent have several neighborhoods to choose from. Wherever they choose to settle down, residents will have a number of restaurants, movie theaters, and other attractions throughout La Verne.
The majority of people living in La Verne are senior citizens. The small-town charm that La Verne encompasses is a great fit for anyone looking to settle in a close and friendly neighborhood. There are a number of elementary schools, two high schools, and the University of La Verne, a private research institution, which is a central part of the tight-knit, agricultural community.
Each month there are a number of diverse activities and events that bring the community together. Every Halloween, children and their families get together for a fun-filled parade where kids can show off their costumes and socialize with one another. Throughout the summer, the La Verne Heritage Foundation and the city of La Verne collaboratively host a summer concert series at the community's historical Heritage Park. Every two weeks, residents can bring blankets or lawn chairs and post up to watch the music. If they feel like moving around, people can snack on funnel cakes or purchase homemade pizzas and hot dogs to eat during the community-focused event.
