📍 Where Monterey Park is
Monterey Park sits in Los Angeles, Southern California. Nearest major airport: Hollywood Burbank (~17 mi / 27 km). It's roughly 7 mi (11 km) from Downtown LA and 108 mi (174 km) from San Diego — SoCal traffic can make a drive take far longer than the distance suggests, so plan around it.
