Colorful homes and tasty cuisine 9 miles south of Los Angeles
Just 9 miles south of Los Angeles’ downtown center, Vermont Vista residents take advantage of proximity to the freeway and comparatively lower prices. "It felt like home the second I got here," says recent resident Step Curry. "I was greeted by friendly, kind, genuine residents who offered their resources and welcomed me. It reassured me I was in a good place." Curry hopes to start a community garden in Vermont Vista, to create a space for art and for people to come together. Students attend schools within the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is rated an overall B-plus on Niche and includes over 600 schools.

Street parks and the Algin Sutton Recreation Center
Algin Sutton Recreation Center has several amenities for playing sports, getting outside and gathering together in town. With tennis and basketball courts, a playground and a stage, this multipurpose space is a community hub. The center also has a public pool where residents can swim laps or cool off on hot California days. The L.A. Kids program, free to area youth since 1996, offers free dance classes at the center. Tucked between buildings and homes are a few small parks, such as 97th Street and 105 Street parks. Supported by the L.A. Parks Foundation nonprofit, these enclosed spaces around town have little playgrounds, sitting areas and native plants. "The purpose of the pocket parks initiative is to substantially increase the number of parks and facilities available across the City, with a specific focus on densely populated neighborhoods and communities that lack sufficient open space and recreational services," says Tony Budrovich, CEO & Executive Director of the Los Angeles Parks Foundation. "Our mission is to enhance, expand, preserve and promote public parks, recreation and open space for the diverse people of Los Angeles."
