HOMES
Duarte’s housing varies widely from affordable homes to expensive showplaces. Condos/townhomes, homes adjacent to the Rancho Duarte Golf Course, and executive style-homes on the Duarte Mesa with sweeping panoramic views are just a few of the many options for homebuyers. Seventy percent of all homes in Duarte are
owner-occupied, leaving only 30 percent for the rental market. Home ownership creates more pride in a community and that is evident when driving through Duarte’s residential neighborhoods. Both location and economics create an opportunity for a home for nearly everyone in Duarte.
