Located about 10 miles south of Los Angeles, Bell offers easy access to the many things the City of Angeles offers: Dodger Stadium, the Staples Center, the Walt Disney Concert Hall and LAX. But Bell also offers affordable homes, residential streets dotted with mature trees and proximity to parks, schools and restaurants.
Homes in Bell are mostly bungalows built between the 1920s and 1940s, with recessed front entryways and Spanish-style influences like barrel tile roofs and stucco facades in warm colors. Big front windows let in natural light and small front porches provide just enough space to visit with a friend. Lot sizes can run small, but there’s still plenty of room for a grassy front yard landscaped with drought-resistant plants. While most homes have garages, the streets are wide enough for parking, and sidewalks are plentiful, perfect for a trip to the corner store or a simple afternoon stroll. Prices range from $420,000 for 760 square feet to $945,000 for 1,200 square feet.
The Los Angeles Unified School District encompasses the public schools in Bell and children often start their education at Ellen Ochoa Learning Center, which serves kindergarten through eighth grade, then move on to Bell High School. Ellen Ochoa Learning Center has a C rating on Niche and Bell High has a B-plus. Bell High serves about 2,400 students and has a student-teacher ratio of 23-to-1. It offers many support systems for students, including its Social Emotional Team, which is equipped to support students’ well-being and are first responders when a student is in crisis. Bell High also offers a Magnet option, which offers a variety of AP classes. Families considering private education for their kids have multiple faith-based schools in the area to choose from.
Among the parks in the area is Veterans' Memorial Park, located off Wilcox Avenue, where residents often head to for fresh air and exercise. There are many amenities, including a large playground with covered equipment so kids can play in the shade and a splash pad that is active during the summer months. Locals practice their jump shot on any of the basketball courts and cheer on a local youth baseball team at the diamond, complete with stadium seating. A rose garden and monument commemorating contributions made by US veterans are in the northeast corner of the park, surrounded by tall, shady trees, making it a popular spot to find some tranquility amid the bustling city.
La Casita Mexicana, located off East Gage Avenue, is a popular go-to for exciting Mexican dishes. This local eatery is run by chefs Jaime Martin Del Campo and Ramiro Arvizu and has received accolades from top food critics and has earned a James Beard nomination. Popular dishes include the chefs’ signature Guacamole al Tequila (fresh guacamole spiked with tequila), and the Traditional Mole Poblano with chicken, an entrée made with the 46-ingredient recipe for mole that Del Campo and Arvizu got from their grandmothers.
For shopping, locals head to the small businesses lining Bell’s main arteries Florence Avenue, Gage Avenue and Atlantic Avenue, where they purchase anything from auto parts to skateboards. In nearby South Gate, residents complete their weekly to-do lists at Azalea Regional Shopping Center, which offers national retailers like Walmart, Petco and Ulta.
Thanks to its central location, residents can take in a game at Dodger’s Stadium, just 13 miles away, or attend a concert at the Staples Center, less than 10 miles away – a convenience many Los Angelenos would envy. Interstate 710 runs through along the community’s eastern side, providing access to Long Beach and the Pacific Ocean.
