Quiet LA suburb just south of Downtown
Named for May Wood, a popular local office worker at the dawn of the 20th century, the City of Maywood is a small suburb located just a few miles south of Downtown LA. Throughout the city, locals enjoy easy access to ample shopping and dining options, along with the extensive LA River Bikeway. “In a way, there’s not much to say about Maywood, but I think for a lot of people, that’s the appeal,” says local Realtor Fabian Garcia, who has worked in the area for over a decade. “You’re close to East LA, South LA, Downtown. It’s pretty easy to get around, at least when there’s no traffic. But the area itself is fairly quiet, which is definitely a plus for most residents.”
