A small, high-value rental market

Walnut has about 27,000 residents and a median home value above $1 million. Only about 16% of homes are rented, so a well-kept rental in Walnut draws strong interest, especially from families.

• Near Walnut High School and Walnut Valley schools. Family homes within Walnut Valley Unified boundaries lease fastest ahead of the school year.
• Hillside and equestrian neighborhoods. Larger homes on the city's hills and in its older horse-keeping areas offer space and views, and need slope and fire-safety care.
• Near Mt. San Antonio College. Mt. SAC's campus in Walnut brings students, faculty and staff looking for rooms and smaller homes; Cal Poly Pomona is next door.
• Townhomes near Valley Boulevard. Smaller homes and townhomes near shopping suit smaller households and commuters.

Walnut renters include families choosing the schools, Mt. SAC and Cal Poly Pomona faculty and staff, professionals working across the San Gabriel Valley, and households relocating from overseas who rent before buying.
