It's hard to imagine when you take a look around today, but prior to the 1960s before Charter Oak, California was swallowed up by the suburbs of east Los Angeles County, it was a small agricultural community consisting primarily of citrus orchards.
Charter Oak, California is an unincorporated community in the San Gabriel Valley of east Los Angeles, often spoken of in the same breath as the cities of Covina (to the west) and San Dimas (to the east) due to its geographical location right at the center of those two towns. Charter Oak's northern border is the City of Glendora and the South Hills -- that may sound funny, but it's correct; the South Hills are on the north end of Charter Oak -- and the Covina Hills to the south. The area considered Charter Oak essentially is one big bedroom community surrounded by Interstate-210 to the north, Interstate-10 to the south, the Orange Freeway to the east and Covina to the west. Yet it's an area that people often notice while looking at a map of Los Angeles due to its proximity to the San Gabriel Canyon and the San Gabriel Dam, which is about a 30-minute drive from the center of Charter Oak.

Finding apartments with a washer and dryer in Charter Oak offers more freedom and flexibility to your weekends. Throwing in the laundry before work or a Saturday afternoon bike ride and finishing it up later is inconvenient, if not impossible, without your own set-up.
There are a few things to keep in mind while looking for apartments with a washer and dryer in Charter Oak. Ask how old the appliances are before you sign. A washer and dryer over 10-years-old may need to be serviced regularly or have an expired warranty. You should also ask the property management who services the washer and dryer. Some leases stipulate that the landlord will pay for repairs to an essential appliance like oven or refrigerator, but require the tenant to service the washer and dryer.
Finding apartments with a washer and dryer in Charter Oak can go quickly, so come prepared with your bank statements, pay stubs, identification, and letters of recommendation to sign your new lease.
