What living in East LA offers from homes to food

Residents have a range of housing options, from classic bungalows and Spanish-inspired homes to newer builds and apartments.

Where to dine out and shop
East LA is known for its restaurants. Whittier and Atlantic boulevards are lined with options, from small taco shops to sit-down experiences. “There’s a big food culture here, which is bringing a lot of foodies into East LA,” says Mario Coral, Library Assistant at the Chicano Resource Center located in town. You can grab a bite to eat at popular spots like:
La Azteca Tortilleria, a longtime neighborhood spot known for handmade tortillas and burritos
Tamayo Restaurant & Art Gallery, where you can choose dishes from the full menu and feel immersed in Tamayo art
Little Mexico Seafood & Mexican Restaurant, which offers dine-in, to-go and catering options
Whittier Boulevard has stores as well as restaurants, and the Commerce Center is a major destination. You might visit the center to shop at Target or get groceries at El Super.
How close East LA is to downtown and transportation options
“Downtown LA is just down the street,” says Fabian Garcia, a local and Realtor at Century 21 Realty with over 20 years of experience in the area. “Go a few miles in any direction, and you’ll find something to do.” Living in East LA means being about 6 miles from downtown LA. You’re close to Interstates 5 and 710, as well as the Pomona Freeway. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority manages the A Line light rail, which has several stations in the area, providing a direct ride to downtown LA and as far west as Santa Monica. LA Metro also operates bus routes throughout the community. The El Sol Shuttle connects riders to shopping centers and colleges in the area.
Murals are scattered throughout East Los Angeles.
Residents celebrate holidays during annual events
You’re a short drive from downtown LA, which always has some kind of event going on. East LA has its own annual events, too, like:
East LA Mexican Independence Day Parade & Festival, a celebration along Cesar E. Chavez Avenue with marching bands and a festival with live music
Día de los Muertos Celebration, hosted by Self Help Graphics & Art each November with all kinds of free activities
Holiday in the Park, when parks across the region celebrate with free seasonal activities
James A. Garfield Senior High School holds classes in East Los Angeles.
Two districts serves students in East LA
Most of the neighborhood is served by the Los Angeles Unified School District, but some families might be in the Montebello Unified School District. East LA has a number of schools, from options like James A. Garfield High School to private schools like Ramona Convent Secondary School.
The community has green spaces to explore
There are parks spread throughout East LA, but Belvedere Community Regional Park is one of the more popular spots. People also use the athletic courts and fields, and the aquatic center has a large in-ground pool and splash pads. City Terrace Park also stays busy with visitors using the pool or joining programs in the community center.
