Azusa is one of the San Gabriel Valley's most compelling value stories, an affordable foothill city with outsized access to the outdoors and higher education.
Gold Line stations, Azusa Pacific University, Citrus College, and a revitalizing downtown have made Azusa increasingly attractive for first-time buyers and investors. The canyon access and mountain backdrop give it a character all its own.
One of the SGV's oldest cities, incorporated 1898
Azusa was incorporated on December 29, 1898, making it one of the oldest cities in the San Gabriel Valley. It grew at the mouth of the San Gabriel Canyon, where the river leaves the mountains. Local lore claims the name means “everything from A to Z in the USA,” though it actually traces to the Tongva and Spanish “Azuesca.” Historic Route 66 still runs through the heart of town.

Recently revitalized around the Gold Line station, Downtown Azusa on Azusa Avenue (historic Route 66) hosts the city's restaurants, breweries, and the annual Azusa Golden Days festival.

Where Azusa eats

Azusa’s dining leans local and unpretentious, the taquerias, family restaurants, and coffee stops along historic Route 66 and revitalized Azusa Avenue feed students, hikers, and longtime residents alike. Pack a taco lunch and head up San Gabriel Canyon Road, the river, the East Fork, and the trailheads are minutes from downtown, a combination almost no other SGV city can offer.
