Comprised of numerous restaurants, retail, service and entertainment venues, as well as the Alhambra Auto Row, the intersection of Main Street and Garfield Avenue has been a center of commerce since 1895. By the 1950s, Main Street took on the upscale look of Wilshire Boulevard's Miracle Mile and was the "in" place in the San Gabriel Valley. In recent years, an intensive revitalization program has led to a variety of dining, entertainment, retail, mixed-use, and auto dealerships, along with the newly-created West Main Street Corridor.

Main Street Entertainment

Main Street Auto Row
The Main Street Auto Row, located west of Atlantic Boulevard, is known throughout Southern California for its fine auto dealerships.
Main Street Mixed-Use Facilities & Commercial Centers
New construction: Mixed use facilities, such as the Regency Plaza, Plaza on Main, Main Street Collection, Casita de Zen, Alhambra Pacific Plaza and Alhambra Place combine residential and commercial aspects, providing urban living opportunities for those who prefer to live and work without the commute, or who desire convenient access to retail, medical/hospital facilities, banks and other services. The West Main Street Corridor provides the framework for the redevelopment of Downtown Alhambra between Garfield Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard within the existing "Industrial Added Area A" redevelopment area.
