How Bellflower grew from farmland into a suburban city
Bellflower is a city in southeastern Los Angeles County with roots in dairy farms and orchards, and its name is a nod to the Belle Fleur apples that once grew here. In the 1950s, farmland gave way to homes and neighborhoods, helping to create the established residential setting it is known for today. With its parks, relatively spacious lots and range of local businesses, the city delivers a comfortable suburban lifestyle without sacrificing access to jobs and amenities throughout Southern California.

The community has an established suburban feel.

Midcentury bones with updates, plus large lots for LA County
The city experienced much of its growth during the mid-1900s, and many homes still date to that era, though plenty have been updated or remodeled over the years. The median sale price is around $800,000, putting it in line with neighboring Downey and Lakewood while remaining below the Los Angeles median. Single-family houses usually range from the mid-$500,000s to around $1 million, although ones with modern upgrades can reach about $1.5 million. Townhouses generally sell from the mid-$500,000s to the mid-$700,000s, while condos range from the low $400,000s to the low $700,000s.
One reason homebuyers are drawn to Bellflower is its property sizes. Compared with many Los Angeles County communities, “The lots are often a little bigger,” says Wesley Lambert, Realtor with Re/Max College Park Realty. Along the city's eastern edge, he notes, there are even a handful of properties zoned for horses. Many owners make the most of their spacious lots by installing pools, planting gardens or enlarging their homes.
Home styles vary by street.
Some properties have been renovated or expanded.
You'll also see some Spanish-style houses.

Downtown LA is approximately 20 miles away, with commutes often taking 45 minutes to 90 minutes in peak traffic.
Several bus routes run through Bellflower, and Metro C Line stations are located just north of the city. However, driving is often the most convenient way to get around. Local streets lead to nearby freeways, including Interstates 605 and 105.
Public and private schools for Bellflower families
Children are served by the Bellflower Unified School District. Bellflower Middle and High School hosts an early college academy that allows students to earn credits from Cerritos College while they work toward their diplomas. Private options include St. John Bosco High School, which earns an A-plus from Niche and offers academic pathways in STEM, sports medicine and media arts.

Playing sports, riding horses or exploring the San Gabriel River Trail
You'll find several parks spread throughout Bellflower. One of the largest is the roughly 20-acre Ruth R. Caruthers Park, which has lighted athletic courts, a splash pad and multiuse trails. Simms Park adds more space for sports and an auditorium that hosts community events, while Pirate Park offers a nautical-themed playground. Beyond local parks, the San Gabriel River Trail runs along Bellflower's eastern edge, providing a long-distance route for running, biking and horseback riding. The 80-mile trail stretches from the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains to the Pacific coast at Seal Beach.
