Alhambra is a city of charming,
well-manicured residential neighborhoods and growing
number of businesses. 
It is situated within a "Sixty Mile Circle" centered on Los Angeles--
a dynamic concentration of population, employment, business, industry and finance with two-
thirds of the State's 100 largest corporations headquartered within this circle. Educational, medical
and transportation services abound, and Alhambra has some of the region's strongest retail centers, drawing sales from auto dealer-
ships and shopping districts.
The renaissance of Downtown
Main Street has been a top priority. Today there are numerous attractive destinations to shop, dine and be entertained locally. Numerous recreational and sporting venues
are also available in the area.
