A small tight-knit city, big on community
While it may fly under the radar of some of Southern Los Angeles’ flashier cities, Lynwood is at the heart of it all. A short drive from the beach, the vibrant city center, a variety of outdoor recreation and eclectic cuisine, Lynwood gives residents a unique suburban experience at a more affordable price than surrounding areas. Lynwood is a quiet residential area but takes pride in keeping it close and keeping residents engaged with initiatives, cultural festivals and city-wide events. “It’s a small city, but it’s very tight-knit, and there are a lot of multi-generational families who live here,” says Oliver Merchant, Recreation Coordinator for Lynwood Community Center for four years and local resident. “Lynwood has a really small-town, charming vibe, and you feel the love and support when you move in. It’s like a large family here.”
Lynwood, CA is a short drive to Downtown Los Angeles.

Latin flavors abound in Lynwood

The plaza offers a variety of national and local shopping and dining options while also celebrating Mexican culture and architecture. The plaza also hosts regular celebrations, including Cinco de Mayo, Dia de los Muertos and Mexican Independence Day. Tweedy Boulevard is also home to an array of local shops and restaurants. Just as its plaza celebrates the city’s Mexican culture, the dining scene represents various Latin flavors. The 24-hour Lucy’s Restaurant is known for its huevos rancheros and chile relleno burritos. And Tacos Estilo Guadalajara serves up authentic Guadalajara-style street tacos. BALAM Mexican Kitchen and Salvadoran and Peruvian restaurant El Cielo are also local favorites. “There are a lot of really good options,” says Merchant. “El Asadero is a high-quality taqueria that I like to go to, and there’s an Italian spot that opened up called La Pasta that’s really good.” Satisfy that sweet tooth at La Favorita Bakery, which offers fruit-filled Mexican pastries, and get essentials at Superior Grocers or one of Lynwood’s family-run specialty markets.
