How Artesia feels like home near busy LA

Artesia offers a small-city feel in the middle of the Los Angeles area. The community is known for its restaurants along Pioneer Boulevard and a busy calendar of annual events. You're also moments from shopping centers full of national brands. While homeowners have all these exciting amenities, there are also residential comforts like convenient schools and a central park.

What housing options and prices look like throughout the city

Artesia is a small, densely packed city in Los Angeles County where single-family properties make up the majority of the housing. You'll find plenty of Spanish-inspired and Craftsman-style homes, and some of the newest builds are townhouses. Prices generally range from the upper $400,000s to about $1.7 million, depending on size and condition. Whether you live in a townhouse or a detached home, neighbors are close by because of the city's layout. “We’re part of the Los Angeles area, but still feel like a small city,” says Rohini Bedi, the owner of Fashion By Rohini and past president of the Artesia Chamber of Commerce. “When walking downtown, everyone seems to know each other."

Some of the locally owned favorites are:
