WWII bedroom community bordered by the San Gabriel River
Twenty miles from downtown Los Angeles, suburban Bellflower is the oldest city in Southeast Los Angeles County. The town began with around 100 residents in 1906 and today has nearly 78,000 people. It offers green spaces, an expanding dining scene and access to the rest of the county’s attractions, including beaches and theme parks. The densely populated city occupies six square miles and was once an agricultural powerhouse filled with dairy farms and apple orchards. In fact, it was likely named for the Belle Fleur apple, one of the main fruits grown in the area in the early 1900s. “Bellflower is a working-class area with a lot of contractors and nurses. Not many people know you can see mountains in the winter when the Santa Ana winds and low humidity make the air really clear,” says Wesley Lambert, a real estate agent with Re/Max College Park Realty who’s sold in the area for over 20 years.

Thirteen parks, the San Gabriel River Trail and local museums
The city maintains 13 parks, three community and recreation centers and one multi-use trail across 100 acres. Ruth R. Caruthers Park is one of Bellflower’s largest green spaces, covering 20 acres with a skate park, playgrounds and a fitness center. Plus, athletes can use the lighted baseball fields, tetherball courts, 2-mile walking path and 2.5-mile biking trail. T. Mayne Thompson Park is home to an aquatic center with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, recreational classes and a gymnasium. A fenced playground has slides, climbing areas and swings, while lighted softball fields allow for evening games. Pirate Park is a playground designed to activate children’s imaginations. It features a pirate ship, skull cave and fort. The 36-mile San Gabriel River Trail connects to several other pathways, such as the Bellflower Bike Trail. The multi-use paved river route is known for scenic views of the San Gabriel Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
The Los Angeles County Fire Museum showcases the history of the Los Angeles County Fire Department with exhibits of fire engines from the mid-1800s through today. A block away, the Bellflower Farmer’s Market highlights handmade crafts, locally grown produce and artisan food items each Monday afternoon.

Competitive housing market in Los Angeles County
Bellflower’s housing was primarily developed in the 1940s and 1950s, with midcentury ranch-style homes with two to three bedrooms being the most common. Almost 50% of the housing consists of single-family homes, while townhouses, manufactured homes and condos make up another 13% to 15%. New housing is still being constructed, such as the Edgeway Downtown Bellflower, a mixed-use property with 91 residential units. “The lots are often a little bigger than other areas. There are some horse properties along the 605 Freeway with acre lots, and there are big lots in the west of the city near Lakewood. Habitat for Humanity redeveloped that area with new houses a few years ago,” says Lambert. Homes here sell for a median price of $770,000, which is 6% more than in 2023. Prices are above the national average of around $400,000 but are less than most of California, creating a competitive market.

Bus routes, freeways and the Los Angeles International Airport
Thanks to a network of sidewalks, many errands can be done on foot in Bellflower. The city has limited bike lanes. However, Bellflower Bus, Long Beach Transit and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority operate regular bus routes through Bellflower and surrounding cities like Lakewood and Norwalk. The 91 and 105 Freeways connect to Interstate 710, which leads 20 miles to downtown Los Angeles or 15 miles to Long Beach. Interstate 605 runs just outside the city’s eastern border, and together, these large roadways create traffic noise throughout the day. People in Bellflower typically have a 30-minute one-way daily commute, slightly longer than the national average of 27 minutes. Long Beach Airport is 6 miles away for domestic flights, while the Los Angeles International Airport is 19 miles northwest.

Healthcare is a significant industry in Bellflower. Five hospitals, including the Kaiser Permanente Downey Medical Center, Coast Plaza Hospital and Kindred Hospital Paramount, are within 3.5 miles of the city.
