Harbor Gateway offers fast access to South Bay amenities and LA travel

As its name suggests, Harbor Gateway functions as the gateway to LA’s harbor region, which is comprised of the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach. That might not seem like a big deal for non-mariners, but what it actually means is that the neighborhood is one of the most centrally located spots in Los Angeles, offering direct routes not only to the Harbor Region but to the South Bay Cities and Central LA. “It’s technically part of Los Angeles, so you don’t get South Bay schools, but otherwise you get nearly all the benefits of living in South Bay,” according to local Realtor Garrison Comstock. “The beaches, the restaurants, the shopping — it’s all right there.” Harbor Gateway is a perfect landing spot for those who need to get around LA quickly but want to come home to a quiet suburban lifestyle.

Residential areas feel like South Bay but prices tend to be lower

The neighborhood borders more commercial areas like West Rancho Dominguez, but the residential blocks of Harbor Gateway feel pretty similar to the rest of the South Bay area. Like most South Bay neighborhoods, Harbor Gateway’s sun-drenched streets are lined with mid-century homes, most of which have been substantially remodeled and expanded to feature layouts between 1300 and 2000 square feet. There are also a fair number of more modern condos and townhomes in the neighborhood. The neighborhood’s houses are significantly less expensive than what you’re likely to find closer to the coast, with local single-family homes ranging from $600,000 to just under a million.

Rosecrans Park offers sports fields and a community rec center

Access to I-105 and about 10 miles from LAX

Harbor Gateway is bounded by interstates 105, 110 and 405, which might not seem important if you’re not from LA. What it means for locals is that they’re about 10 miles from LAX, the beach, and the employers of Torrance and Hawthorne, and less than 20 minutes from both Downtown LA and Downtown Long Beach.

Harbor Gateway runs along the 110 Freeway and offers multiple transport options.
