A growing gateway city
Known locally as “HP,” Huntington Park is one of South Los Angeles' "Gateway Cities," bridging the gap between Downtown Los Angeles, about 8 miles north, and the Orange County line, about 20 miles southeast. Home to approximately 60,000 people, Huntington Park is known for its vibrant Latino culture, strong sense of community and appeal to real estate investors. “HP is developing close behind Los Angeles,” says Tony Zeng, a developer and owner of Metro Real Estate Group with over 20 years of experience. “It’s close to Inglewood, which is becoming an entertainment hub with the new SoFi Stadium and the YouTube Theater. Nearby neighborhoods are being impacted positively with the new employment and business opportunities those places bring.”
Incorporated in 1906, the city has long been home to residents employed by factories, warehouses and distribution centers in neighboring cities like Vernon and Commerce. Whole Foods Distribution Center, Overhill Farms Incorporated and Modu Food Service are only a few of the major nearby employers. “This is a community of hard workers, and when you work hard, you party hard,” says Daniel Calderon, a Realtor with 35 years' experience in the area. “If you’re the type to file noise complaints when you hear your neighbors playing music at 8 p.m., this is not the place for you.”
Huntington Park locals love to explore the locally owned retail and dining along Pacific Blvd.
Huntington Park is a sprawling suburban city a short drive from downtown Los Angeles.
