Outstanding and Safe City - 2/15/2017
La Verne is probably the cleanest city I have ever been to. Beautiful clean streets, all kinds of shops ,restaurants, and beautiful real estate. This small city is very safe and has some of best statistics. They have an excellent school system. Their schools rank 8-9 /10 which is high for public schools. And of course there is University of La Verne. Many people I know who live there describe La Verne as the best and safest place to raise a family. No wonder more and more people are moving there.

City declining. Houses going up for sale - 3/25/2015
After living here for 30 years, its time to move like others are doing. The local police no longer patrol. If you call them for a crime, you are made to feel you are at fault for calling them. You are lectured, talked into not making a report. If you do end up filing, they will tell the suspect if caught who told to stop you next time from calling them.
As for the schools, are you buying here because of the schools? Don't. The school police are at the high school daily for fights and drugs. Why? The school district is very much into "inter district transfers". So, your kids are going to school with kids from Pomona! I think the ratio is 70/30. Meaning 70% are from Pomona. So, why buy here when you kids will go to school with kids from Pomona? Don't think your going to the district to complain. Their not going to care. Here is a quote from the admin "if we remove them, they will sue".
Crime? Just had a double homicide. My garage has been broken into and two

For the most part it seems quiet and slow pace compared to most in S-Cal
Over the years it has changed but same with others.

The city could be doing more to keep the business up to-date and have a better shopping area. The old town area need more
