La Verne is a small city between San Dimas and Claremont. It's home to the University of La Verne, and its Old Town runs along D Street.
Much of the city is residential, with streets that climb toward the foothills on the north side.
The honest take
La Verne is quiet and doesn't turn over a lot of homes. Buyers who want Claremont's feel sometimes find more options here, so it's worth looking at both.
Schools
