I was born in Glendora in 1981, and moved to the east coast in 1996. When I left, Glendora was a really nice place to live. Crime was very low, the police had a strong, positive presence in the city, and the school district was really nice (Williams E.S., then Goddard M.S., then 1 year at G.H.S.). Overall I really enjoyed growing up there. An aunt and uncle of mine still work in Glendora, and from what they tell me, nothing has changed!

I live in the inland empire currently, I attended Private School just south of Glendora,

I can tell you that city is quite safe and has class to it.. crime rate is very low, and I would consider it a priviledge to raise children there..

I have a college friend who grow up in Glendora. He went back to work for rainbird in Glendora after graduation. Visited his pads a few times. Look like a nice quiet neighborhood, green lawn, picket fences, etc. He seems to love the city and have no intention of leaving. As far as demographic, most of the neighbors are white with a few asians, I don't think I see any Indians though.

If education is important to you, why don't you also look into Claremont which is right next door? It's where the Claremont Colleges are located. 28% of residents hold graduate degree! You can't go wrong surrounding your son with children of educated parents.

Good luck!

I've read these few posts and realized that the posters probably haven't been to Glendora lately. My parents have lived there for years, and gone are the good 'ol days.

First off, the best area is in North Glendora, but even there the 'Village' as it's referred to has gone down hill, most of the shops have left, and what remains don't offer much other than the cute trees.

There is only one fairly decent restaurant to eat left in Glendora, and it's on Route 66 (formally Foothill Blvd) which has become a crappy area.

I long for the good 'ol days in Glendora, but nothing stays the same out here in Southern CA

I grew up in Glendora, and raised two out of three kids in Glendora. And, no it's not the same. It is a bit run down from what it used to be, but I wouldn't say it's a bad city by any means. The crime rate is low and the schools are good. For elementary, Sutherland and for junior high, Goddard. (You can check out their API scores on the internet.) If you are looking for an apartment, stay above Route 66, and preferably north of Foothill Blvd. If you are looking for a higher demographics of an Asian/Indian population, then my advice would be to move to Chino Hills and commute to Glendora to work (11 miles). The schools are outstanding there, you get a lot more house for your money (and newer housing), and it's a great community to live in.

I went to high school in Glendora I remember it being one of the nicest cities I've ever lived in also one of the most expensive. I loved living there

if you are looking for a good pre-school Windham preschool and Kindergarten is very good

All of the public schools are great

rent runs anywhere from 700-1000 month and I would say that is low estimate

asian population isn't very high

for the past few years we occasionally went to glendora to visit family- i was always amazed at how dirty the air was there, overcast with fog at all times of the day & year- really depressing, our family moved away & when they did their kid's terrible asthma disappeared

i always thought it looked like a decent area except for the air which imo is a dealbeaker ten times over

sorry, i meant overcast with smog, not fog
