Duarte is a foothill San Gabriel Valley city best known as the home of City of Hope, the major medical and research campus that anchors local employment, set against the San Gabriel Mountains along the 210 freeway and the Gold Line. Housing runs from post-war and mid-century homes in the Duarte Mesa and Royal Oaks areas to properties near Bradbury Hills and the City of Hope campus, on lots that often accommodate accessory units. A stable medical and research workforce, transit access, and prices below the SGV's luxury suburbs make Duarte a practical, cash-flow-and-appreciation investor market.
