Lennox shares its identity with Inglewood and offers urban access
Do you have a pet chinchilla? Your pet's origins can likely be traced back to Lennox in Los Angeles County's South Bay. At one time, the area was home to a large chinchilla farm to which most domestic pet chinchillas can be linked. And that's not all; Lennox also was the site of the world's largest parrot aviary. Today Lennox is not particularly known for furry or feathered friends — it's a mixed-used residential neighborhood with access to schools, a park, and various spots to shop and eat. Lennox's identity is tied in with Inglewood's, and it's notable for its closeness to Los Angeles International Airport.
Midcentury homes and Spanish-style architecture line long blocks
As you walk along the sidewalks of Lennox, you'll notice most homes here have front yards, many with palm or flowering trees and shrubs, and a good portion are surrounded by decorative iron fencing or stone or brick walls. Stroll along long stretches, as the blocks running north-to-south are fairly long. When you reach a busy street like Lennox Boulevard, look for a market on the corner and some small businesses. There's a good range of real estate here, with sale prices such as $525,000 for a two-bedroom of under 800 square feet to more than $1.25 million for a newly constructed, two-story four-bedroom. Home styles in Lennox include midcentury bungalows, often with porches and large front windows. One-story homes are prevalent. You may see Spanish-style architecture, including stucco exteriors, archways and clay tile roofing. Lennox also has apartments available.
Lennox Park offers sports, swimming and year-round programs
Jose Jaime, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Service, recommends Lennox Park. "It's in walking distance from most homes, and is family oriented," he says. A social hub for the community, the park has more than five acres of space and plenty of outdoor amenities, including sports areas and a swimming pool. Aerobics, teen club, after-school programs, and senior luncheons are just a few of the park's recreational offerings. Annual events include the Hispanic Heritage Festival and the week-long Cinco de Mayo Celebration. About Cinco de Mayo, Jaime says, "It's packed. It lasts for a week and all the people from the Lennox area and neighboring cities are there."
Public and charter schools offer bilingual and extracurricular options
Kids in the neighborhood may attend public schools in the Lennox School District, including Buford Elementary, one of two elementary schools in the district to offer dual language with English/Spanish curriculum. Students can continue their bilingual progress at Lennox Middle School. The school has a wide array of sports opportunities, including volleyball, basketball, and intramurals at lunchtime. For extracurricular fun, students can engage in Pokémon club, engineering club and games club. At the secondary level, Ánimo Leadership Charter High School is free to attend, with seven competitive sports teams and multiple clubs, including drama, dance and art. Yearly field trips to local universities kickstart students' college readiness.
Neighborhood markets and eateries offer everyday essentials
There are quite a few neighborhood markets in Lennox, like Numero Uno Market and La Mexcla Market. A small shopping plaza provides necessities like phone services and a dental clinic. For a bite to eat, check out one of the eateries in the neighborhood. Burgers, Mexican food and seafood options provide variety, depending on what you're in the mood for. And for a sweet treat, Lennox has a couple of doughnut shops. Rose Doughnuts is a tasty choice, whether you like toppings like sprinkles and coconut flakes or jelly filled.
Lennox is close to beaches, stadiums and major shopping areas
Jaime also emphasizes Lennox's convenient location, close to SoFi Stadium and shopping in Torrance at the South Bay Galleria. For a visit to the shore, he says, "Redondo Beach is very popular; many people from the area go there and to Manhattan Beach. Some people like to go to Santa Monica Promenade for the activities." The Promenade is a draw for foodies and shoppers alike, with over 80 stores and plenty of restaurants.
Highways and LAX make commuting and travel convenient
Besides the close beaches, Lennox has other enticing amenities nearby. It's only a few miles from LAX and multiple Inglewood sites, including the Kia Forum indoor arena, the SoFi Stadium, which attracts huge crowds for games and concerts, and the Intuit Dome, which will be the home of the Los Angeles Clippers. Convenient for commuters, Lennox has highways on two sides, with Interstate 405 running along the west side and Interstate 105 along the south. Whichever way you turn in Lennox — beachward, toward Downtown LA, or into the sky on an international flight, this South Bay neighborhood has plenty of benefits.

Lennox is a small tight community. Mostly all Hispanic if not 99%. Not really family friendly unless you’re from there. Poverty stricken area with crime due to gangs. Be careful during the day but especially at night.

Some thing I like about Lennox is that it's very family friendly everyone knows each other. Also I feel like people watch out for each other in a way either family or just friends. I would like to see one change be for it to be safer for kids and adults. Therefore if there was something that could be changed about Lennox I would say just the safety. I've lived in Lennox since I was young and it's just been my community for a very long time and I would like it if it were safer for younger generations to grow.

What i like about Lennox is that everyone seems to know each other. But I do not like that at night there's always cops and helicopters looking for someone.

Lennox is a small community in which low income families live in. Even though families struggle financially and socially, we manage to stay united and strong. We support each other and make sure everyone is successful.
