Hell no I lived here most of my life since 90....It was bad in its day and the occasional bullshit happens but GVR is a great place for a young family to be raised it is mixed putting good as far as races, Mexican, black white, asian there is not dominate race period per household..Montbello/GVR gets alot negative press every time something happens they have to mention MONTBELLO but when a shootings or something happens on the westside of town they dont mention Curtis Park or Park Hill shootings its just got a bad rap...
