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.”

Compact colorful homes and condos

Huntington Park's median home price is around $645,000, lower than L.A.'s overall median of roughly $1 million. More than 70% of Huntington Park's residents rent their homes rather than own, so this is largely an investor's market. Most homes here are either early 20th-century Craftsman bungalows with colorful exteriors and small front porches, or mid-to-late 20th-century ranch-style homes with Spanish-style details like barrel-tile roofs. Condominium buildings and attached townhomes are concentrated north toward Vernon, most built in the 1980s and often incorporating Craftsman- or Spanish-style elements.
