Pomona is home to the Fairplex, where the LA County Fair runs each year, and to Cal Poly Pomona. Downtown has an arts colony along 2nd Street.
It's in LA County, on the San Bernardino County line, with the 10, 60, 57 and 71 all close by.
The honest take
Pomona's historic districts have some of the most character in the area, and buyers who want an older home with real detail should look here. Condition varies a lot from house to house, so a good inspection matters more than usual.
Schools
Mostly Pomona Unified, with small edges in Bonita Unified and Claremont Unified.
