Cal Poly Pomona resides in the largely suburban city Pomona (that is part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area). The city of Pomona is located in the eastern portion of Los Angeles County and borders the neighboring county of San Bernardino. The university’s 1,725 acre campus makes it the second largest in the California State University system. Cal Poly has many facilities scattered throughout Southern California: such as a 53-acre ranch in Santa Paula, California, a 25-acre campus at the former Spadra Landfill (now known as "Spadra Ranch"), and the Neutra VDL Studio and Residences in Silver Lake, Los Angeles. The university is currently negotiating the transfer of the 302-acre Lanterman Developmental Center from the State of California. The transfer of the land is part of the Governor's 2015-2016 Proposed Budget. The land is to be used for academic purposes and expansion of the Innovation Village; it is to be shared by the California Highway Patrol, the California Air Resources Board and the California Conservation Corps.

Although it is part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, the university is in close proximity to two other large metropolitan and culturally-defined regions, the Inland Empire and Orange County. The university has a tier 1 area that is roughly bounded by the San Gabriel Mountains to the north, the city of Chino Hills to the south, Interstate 605 to the west, and Interstate 15 to the east. All of Cal Poly Pomona's campus buildings vary in age and style. Built in the 1920's, the Mission Revival Kellogg Horse Stables and the Kellogg House is an example of the Spanish colonial architectural heritage of Southern California. The styles range from the modernist box-like portion of the library completed in 1969, to contemporary dormitories, engineering, science and library-expansion facilities completed in the early 21st century.
