Posted: December 16, 2010 in Notes

Latest yahoo article praised my U.S. hometown for being the best place to raise kids in California. They included an honorable mention of my High School too!  I believe this gives me bragging rights.

Best place to raise kids in California: Rowland Heights
Population:
46,793
Median family income: $72,985

In San Gabriel Valley about 25 miles from downtown Los Angeles, Rowland Heights is home to a large Asian community. According to data from Onboard Informatics, nearly half the population is Asian and 33.2 percent is Hispanic. The area has several highly regarded schools, including the John A. Rowland High School and Killian Elementary School. “Rowland Heights is … close enough to Los Angeles and all the excitement of big-city life, but [Rowland Heights] benefits from an influx of residents looking for a subdued setting,” states the website of real estate agent Vincent Gottuso.
