I have lived in Alhambra for over a year now and I can truly say that I would recommend living here. It is truly a safe, quiet, very Asian populated city. I am a huge fan of Main St, where you will find a lively downtown full of restaurants, bars, a movie theatre and nightlife. One of my go-to places for eating out is The Chicken Koop! The drinks are great and the food is even better! The ambiance is very classic with metallic and wooden features. Highly recommend trying their juicy chicken. If you are unsure about the area or the neighborhood, contact me and I will give you an honest opinion.
