Nestled just 30 minutes from LA and an hour from the nearest beach, Pomona offers a small-town California vibe with big city convenience.

Make sure your home is just as nestled in with an ADT monitored home security system. Get 24/7 professional monitoring for security cameras, motion detectors, and smoke alarms—all while getting automated control from your smartphone. Once your new place is bolstered with a security system, you'll be ready to explore everything P-Town has to offer.

Since Cal Poly Pomona attracts young college students from all over the state and the US, the city is infused with a young feel, tons of artists, and plenty of entertainment. Stroll the Art Walk or sample the food trucks during the monthly Pomona Night Out, offering a consistent backdrop of live music and a steady stream of locals. For a quieter vibe, stop by the Arts Colony downtown and take in local galleries and murals all month long.

When you need to pick up your produce for the week, skip the grocery store and walk through the year-round Pomona Valley Farmers' Market by Pearl St. and Garey Ave. If you're hankering something fast and fried, hit up Pomona's own Donahoo's Golden Chicken for some chicken strips and fries.

Oh, and don't miss the popular Los Angeles County Fair, where you can witness Esmeralda's Steampunk Circus, play vintage arcade games, visit the Rock Candy Factory, or ride the G Force before feasting on local confections and slurping on a microbrew. The choice is yours in Pomona.
