Lawndale
Located in Los Angeles County
For many Los Angelenos, living in an area that is not only near the beach, but also easily accessible to other parts of the city is just a dream. But for residents living in Lawndale, located in LA’s South Bay, that dream is a reality. “You’re close to the freeway, if you need to commute into downtown, but you’re also close to the beach — close enough you don’t have to take the freeway,” says Cheyne Inman, Realtor with RE/MAX Estate Properties. “And it’s affordable, relative to the South Bay. For first time home buyers, it tends to be on their lists for that reason.”
You’ll find a mix of single-family homes along the residential streets, including petite midcentury-era California bungalows with low-pitched roofs and big front-facing windows, sitting next to more Contemporary homes built in the last 20 years and boasting more square footage than their older counterparts. Lot sizes are long and narrow, so while houses sit close together, there is space for small front yards landscaped with local flora and backyards big enough for garages or Accessory Dwelling Units. The streets are wide and lined with sidewalks, perfect for an afternoon stroll. Prices range from $588,000 for 1,200 square feet to $1 million for 1,400 square feet. You can also find town houses and condos throughout the city, with prices ranging from $300,000 for 600 square feet to $1.2 million for 2,600 square feet and boasting amenities like private parking and additional storage.
Children attending public school may begin their education at Mitchell Elementary, then continue to Jane Addams Middle and Lawndale High. Billy Mitchell Elementary and Jane Addams Middle are part of the Lawndale Elementary School District, and Lawndale High is part of the Centinela Valley Union High School District. It also serves approximately 2,300 students from ninth to twelfth grade and has a B rating on Niche.
Many residents gather at Jane Addams Park when they want to get some exercise or celebrate special events. The park offers amenities like baseball fields, where you can cheer on the local Little League team, basketball courts where you can practice your jump shot and a big athletic field, perfect for a pickup soccer game. There are multiple picnic areas, complete with barbecue grills, for when you want to gather friends and family, and a playground with a wading pool that will likely keep kids occupied for hours. You’ll also have easy access to Alondra Park, which boasts sprawling green space and a lake where you can fish or simply relax on a warm summer night.
Find national retailers along Hawthorne Boulevard, the city’s main thoroughfare, that will help you cross everything off your to-do list, like Target, Smart & Final Extra, and the UPS Store, plus services like nail salons, cleaners and veterinarians. If you’re looking for a day of retail therapy, head to the South Bay Galleria in nearby Redondo Beach for its traditional mall stores like Macy’s and Kohl’s. You’ll also find many dining options along Hawthorne Boulevard, including local favorite Quality of Bombay, where residents head to when craving authentic Indian cuisine.
Thanks to I-405, which runs through the city, you’ll have easy access to LA’s South Bay region, including Manhattan Beach and El Segundo. If you need to go a little further, Lawndale is less than eight miles from Los Angeles International Airport, which offers flights around the globe.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
