Densely populated and nearly 100 years old
Vermont Knolls, a South Los Angeles neighborhood, is nearly 100 years old. It was once home to Pepperdine University, but as the institution grew, it eventually relocated to Malibu.

Vermont Knolls as a whole remains a densely populated community, packed with single-family homes and multi-family units.
Many residents come together in worship at this domed-roof church in Vermont Knolls.

Redevelopment at inexpensive prices
“There is a lot of redevelopment happening in the area, and it’s really drawing buyers,” says Christian Limon, Realtor at Century 21 A Better Service Realty who has sold homes in the area. Most homes in Vermont Knolls are from the 1920s and 1930s and have varying levels of decline. He says, “Many people buy these homes as investment properties, but there’s also plenty of people buying them as is.” Pueblo and Spanish-inspired bungalows are the most common style available, with many residences bearing the seemingly universal tan hues and red roofs of Southern Californian housing. Homes typically sell between $500,000 and $850,000, with prices depending on properties’ size and renovation status. However, according to Limon, “Prices are much cheaper than in the Westchester, Inglewood and Hawthorne neighborhoods nearby, but homeowners are still close to the same amenities.”

Dinner then a show at SoFi Stadium
The neighborhood has limited shopping and dining, but some options are peppered throughout the neighborhood. Natives like to start their day with small-batch roasts from Coffee Del Mundo, which offers a dairy-free menu specially curated for the community by the local owner. After work, residents swing by Tacos el Vecino for savory tacos doused in house-made salsas or pop into Jean's Ice Cream for refreshing sweet treat. For groceries, El Super Fresh and Smart & Final are the closest choices. However, Limon says most people "shop at the shopping center on Century and Crenshaw" 3 1/2 miles away for heavy-duty hauls. The center features big-box stores like Target, Home Depot, Aldi and Costco. In terms of entertainment, Vermont Knolls is also within 4 miles of SoFi Stadium, home to the Los Angeles Chargers and Rams and host to some of the biggest names in music, such as Taylor Swift, The Rolling Stones and Beyoncé.
El Super is a large grocery store located all around Southern California.
