Azusa, California, also known as “The Canyon City” has recently come into its own. I remember back in the ’90s, when I was a junior in high school, I took a bus tour down from Northern California to Southern California to attend a college preview weekend at Azusa Pacific University. I had no clue where Azusa was located. All I knew was that they had a great music program and I wanted to attend.
Soon I learned that Azusa has more to offer than meets the eye.
Top 3 Reasons To Live in Azusa
Nestled Against The San Gabriel Mountains

Azusa is located 27 miles northeast of Los Angeles and nestles up against the San Gabriel Mountains. In 2014, the San Gabriel Mountains became a national monument and is now considered the recreational “backyard” of Los Angeles. The mountains are a pretty backdrop to city life, offers numerous hiking trails and boasts a plethora of thriving wildlife. It is also a popular camping destination for locals.
Close To Southern California Attractions

Wow! you've given us valid reasons to consider Azuna California. I would want to experience those Southern California attractions, too, which aren't too far.

I will be honest a few years ago I really wanted to move to California (we live in NY state). As I have gotten older the cold is terrible, worse I guess than when I was younger. THEN we had grandkids and they live here so now I put up with the cold instead. This area looks like a beautiful place to live, and the mountain view is amazing.
