An urban center with career opportunities
The heart of a mid-sized city in the Antelope Valley, Central Lancaster’s appeal — first and foremost — is logistics. Those looking for quick commutes to companies like Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman are in luck. "We're a military aerospace community and the last city in LA County north of LA," says Realtor Leonard Egstrom, who works with eXp Realty of California, Inc. and has over a decade of experience in the area. Proximity to a wealth of career opportunities is the standout reason to choose Central Lancaster. "People are relocating here for the jobs, and they're also commuting to LA," Egstrom says.

Local workplaces and commuting to LA
Separated from LA by about 80 miles and the San Gabriel Mountains, Lancaster has easy access to travel north or south via State Route 14. "We're an hour away from everything — the mountains, the city, the ocean,” Egstrom says. “That's the beauty of this place." Amid the desert landscapes and aerospace advantages, a home in Central Lancaster is within reach of everything by car, although commuters can also access public transportation with Antelope Valley Transit Authority buses or hop on a train at Lancaster Metrolink Station. The closest hospital is Palmdale Regional Medical Center. For further travel, residents can take flights from Palmdale Regional Airport.
