Harbor City has restaurants, parks and hospitals within its blocks
Harbor City is a small community in Los Angeles' South Bay, bordered by Interstate 110. Residential blocks, restaurants and medical centers converge within its narrow footprint. "It's a small community with a mixture of homes and businesses," says broker Marivel Kuenstler with Compass Real Estate, who's been selling in South Bay since she moved here in 1987. "What makes Harbor City special is that you don't need to leave for anything. It has hospitals, restaurants, parks and schools." It also has a mix of housing; buyers can find a convenient condo or a spacious Spanish Revival within a few blocks of taco shops, green spaces and employers like Kaiser Permanente South Bay Medical Center.

These manufactured homes range from $100,000 to $330,000 for larger models. Midsize condo units and spacious luxury townhomes in the city can cost $300,000 to around $830,000.

There are eateries and markets scattered throughout Harbor City. Lomita Boulevard, running east to west through the city's center, is especially known for its dining.

For example, Lomita Plaza on the boulevard has Inferno Kitchen, Mama's Tacos and Don's BBQ — an Asian fusion spot — all in one strip. Specialty markets like La Bodega Ranch Market, a Mexican food store, can also be found around the blocks.
