Walnut City

Walnut city is located 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles and encompasses 8.9 square miles.

The picturesque greater Walnut Valley is located between the steep San Jose Hills mountain range (at an elevation of 1,375 feet) to the north, and the gentle Puente Hills to the south. Walnut is located between the San Bernardino (10), Orange (57), and Pomona (60) Interstates with easy accessibility to four counties. Quality housing consists of master-planned single family homes ranging in size from 1,800 to 11,200 square feet. The City hosts a top rated state school system and the renowned Mt. San Antonio College, home of the annual Mt. SAC Relays. Walnut is proud to be identified as one of the cities with the lowest crime rates in the San Gabriel Valley.

The City of Walnut provides a pleasant blend of living in a semi-rural country, a hometown atmosphere, urban conveniences, and close proximity to metropolitan areas, deserts, and beaches. Walnut offers a great environment to live, work, or spend quality leisure time.
