Established homes are close together throughout the city
Ranch-style, Spanish-inspired and manufactured homes fill Bell Gardens. Properties tend to sit close together across the area. Many homes were built around the 1940s and 1950s, so you'll see plenty of properties with detached garages, long driveways and fenced-in front yards. Prices usually range from the low $100,000s for manufactured homes to the upper $700,000s for some of the larger single-family homes. “It’s very community-based, and everyone knows each other,” says Betty Lopez, broker and owner with Better Homes Realty, BHR Whittier Inc. “The area is beautiful. Homes are sought after here, and residents take pride in their lawns.”
Some homes in Bell Gardens have Spanish-inspired styles.

How to get from Bell Gardens to Los Angeles and Long Beach
Interstate 710 runs directly through Bell Gardens, providing a roughly 20-mile route to Long Beach and a connection to Interstate 5 on the roughly 10-mile drive to Downtown LA. “You’re close to South LA and downtown,” Lopez says. “There’s traffic, of course, but it’s pretty easy to get around.” Parkwest Bicycle Casino is a major employer in the area, so some people have short commutes to work.

The streets are lined with sidewalks, and you have bike lanes on roads like Florence and Gage avenues.
