Maywood is one of the smallest cities in Los Angeles County, but the size means residents live close to schools, restaurants and parks. Homebuyers and renters are drawn to the area for lower home prices and direct routes to downtown Los Angeles. Aside from the occasional annual event, things are quiet in Maywood.
The streets are tightly packed with residential properties, mostly bungalows and Spanish Revivals, with paved driveways leading to detached garages. Home prices here tend to range from the lower $500,000s to the mid-$700,000s. Converted homes with multiple units have sold for more, up to the mid-$900,000s. Maywood has some of the lower home prices in the county, especially compared to nearby areas. Most people here rent their homes or units in multifamily properties. “In a way, there’s not much to say about Maywood, but I think for a lot of people, that’s the appeal,” says Realtor Fabian Garcia with Century 21 Realty Masters. “But the area itself is fairly quiet, which is definitely a plus for most residents.”
Maywood has convenient access to major freeways, including Interstates 5 and 710, which extend into the greater LA area. "You’re close to East LA, South LA [and] downtown,” Garcia says. “It’s pretty easy to get around, at least when there’s no traffic.” The 10-mile drive to downtown can take around 20 minutes with easy traffic. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority manages buses in the city, and some bus lines go to downtown and to the Vernon Station on the light rail Metro A Line. The city also operates the Maywood Express, a free shuttle that runs on a fixed route throughout the community.
You don’t have to go far when you want to dine out. Most chain restaurants and locally owned spots are along Atlantic Boulevard and Slauson Avenue. You might pop into:
The Los Angeles Unified School District covers Maywood, and even though the city is small, residents are close to multiple schools. Maywood Elementary School gets a B rating from Niche and is a certified STEM school with a Computer Science Magnet program. St. Rose of Lima Catholic School is a private option in the heart of the city.
Maywood Park and Riverfront Park are the city's two largest green spaces. You can go to Maywood Park to visit the Southeast-Rio Vista YMCA or let kids run around the playground. High school baseball teams practice and play on the park’s Dodger Dreamfield. Along the Los Angeles River, Riverfront Park has basketball and handball courts, playgrounds and picnic areas with barbecues. The park offers access to the Los Angeles River Trail, a multiuse path that stretches toward Long Beach.
Maywood hosts several community events throughout the year. Of all the options, there are some that bring out crowds, especially:
