The Great Sierra Madre City 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) The city of Sierra Madre is one of the best destinations for couples, a family or even for any person willing to get a new experience. The town is based at the foothill of San Gabriel Mountains. For the years I have lived here the city has been the haven for artists, filmmakers, ...Read More and writers such as Howard Whalen, Igor Dekansky, Howard Miller, among others.


This great city features triangular park that works as the great city square. Incredible Cafes, restaurant, outstanding art galleries, modern and vintage boutique shops and other amazing establishments line up in the streets giving the entire town a feel of the mixer of the American village along with European village making it similar to the Mayberry.


Living in the Sierra Madre is relatively cheap with plenty of resources and quality housing. Plenty of investment opportunity also lies in this great city for people who in it, and people from other parts of the world. For people who are willing to enjoy the best areas in the Sierra Madre, the outstanding parks and nightclubs could be the ideal places you should consider. Read Less
