You are familiar with the city of El Monte, right? It is a city you would rather not live in. If you are a stranger and are looking for a room to rent then you're asking for trouble. I wouldn't take that chance.

I would move to Temple City, Rosemead, or San Gabriel which are all nearby and are alot better then EM. A one bedroom apartment or home can be anywhere from 700-1500 in those areas, including El Monte.

Look on craigslist for room rentals. They should probably cost between 500 to 900 depending on how big the room, the house, what amenities will be available to you, etc.
