The City of Duarte is a small progressive community located at the base of the picturesque San Gabriel Mountains, approximately 21 miles northeast of Los Angeles. At 6.8 square miles with a population of 21,486, Duarte isn’t the biggest city in the valley. But it just may be the best. Duarte is a richly diverse community of stable neighborhoods and friendly residents. Lush green foothills, parks, hiking and bike trails, and beautiful new social and recreational gathering places enhance the livability of the community. The City of Duarte is also host to City of Hope, a world-renowned cancer research center and a nationally recognized hospital dedicated to improving the physical and mental well being of its patients. Residents can also enjoy the Senior, Teen and Performing Arts Centers. The map below highlights these and other popular local destinations.
