Glendora sounds like a fictional Shangri-La in the middle of California -- even the name Glendora sounds fanciful and made-up. Well, the name actually was made up. George D. Whitcomb created the name by combining his wife's name Leadora with the fact that the location was in the glen of the San Gabriel Mountains. This little 23-mile plot of land has been a stereotypically sunny place nestled at the foothills of the mountains where people have escaped L.A., even before it was incorporated as a city in 1911.Whether your turn-ons are well-kept suburbs, downtown excitement or hidden hill tops, Glendora can satisfy. It houses such major firms as Rain Bird Sprinkler Manufacturing, provides shopping through major chains and individually owned stores, and keeps you amused with a golf course, outdoor trails and parks. In short, you can live, shop and play without ever leaving the city.
"Location, location, location" applies not only to home-buying but to renting as well. Decide first where in the city you want to live and then the style of housing you prefer. Apartment complexes are easy enough to locate online with Google Search. However, if you prefer renting single-family homes, consider engaging a real-estate agent who specializes in leases. She'll hear about any available properties before they make it to the Internet, can negotiate more favorable lease terms, and may be able to turn a house-for-sale into a rental if you really like it.
Then decide on how much to spend
