reviewsMy children and I moved to Pomona about 3 years. Our first 2 years we lived in the North side of Pomona and for the last year (just renewed our lease) we have lived in the south side of Pomona. We love the atmosphere, the calmness, the feel of safety, and the neighborhood and neighbors have been unbelievably welcoming. Coming from previously living in Las Vegas and prior in South Los Angeles, Pomona has been very different for the best. I would highly recommend!

reviewsPomona is a great place to live in certain neighborhoods. The problem is there are more unsavory characters than there are police. It makes living here difficult due to all the illegal activities that occur. This city could be great like surrounding cities of La Verne and Claremont yet it gets all negative remarks due to all the criminal activity.
