A balance of regional connectivity and suburban comfort in Norwalk
Norwalk, located in southeastern Los Angeles County, appeals to people looking for a more relaxed setting within reach of Southern California’s major employment centers. With several freeways close by, as well as Metrolink and Metro rail service, commuting throughout the region is fairly straightforward. Homebuyers are often attracted to Norwalk’s relatively low housing costs compared with nearby Los Angeles and Anaheim. Norwalk's parks, local businesses and community celebrations also help create a welcoming suburban environment.

Mostly single-family homes and a lower median than LA or Anaheim
Norwalk has a large number of early-1900s California bungalows and midcentury ranch-style homes. Over time, some have been updated or remodeled to accommodate multigenerational households or create rental income opportunities. The median sale price is around $800,000, similar to the median in neighboring Artesia, but well below the medians in Los Angeles and Anaheim. Most houses sell from the low $400,000s to the upper $900,000s, while properties with accessory dwelling units or extensive modern upgrades can top out over $1 million.
Prices and properties also vary slightly by neighborhood. “The one-way streets in the south have smaller lots than other parts of town, but it's a great area for first-time buyers,” says Steve Marquez, Realtor with First Team Real Estate. He adds, “Closer to Cerritos College, homes are a little pricier because people want to live in the ABC School District.”
Multifamily housing makes up a relatively small share of the local market. Condos typically sell from the mid-$300,000s to the upper $600,000s, while townhomes generally range from the upper $500,000s to the low $700,000s.
Homes tend to sell relatively quickly in Norwalk.
Some properties include off-street parking spots.
Residents often add personal touches to their homes or yards.

Metrolink, Metro C Line and freeways allow for easy travel
Norwalk is well positioned for commuting throughout Southern California, and drivers have easy access to Interstates 5, 105 and 605. It’s about 15 miles to Downtown LA, and the drive takes anywhere from 30 minutes to more than an hour during peak traffic. Anaheim is a similar distance away and is often reachable in under 40 minutes. You also have some choices for car-free travel, including the Metro C Line and Metrolink service.
Norwalk-La Mirada is the main school district
Students are primarily served by the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District, with portions also zoned for the ABC Unified School District and the Whittier Union High School District. Ross Academy of Creative and Media Arts Middle School, rated A-minus by Niche, offers electives in TV broadcasting, coding and robotics. Nearby private options include St. Pius X Parish School, which gets an A-plus from Niche.

Studebaker is a primarily residential enclave of the Los Angeles County city of Norwalk. This is a neighborhood, though, that places its residents conveniently close to Interstates 5 and 605, plus multiple schools and parks. <br><br>The homes that fill Studebaker's streets were predominantly built in the mid-21st century. These homes may be close in age, but they come in a variety of styles, layouts and colors. Most are single-story, though, and many include attached garages, part of square footages that usually total between 1,000 and 2,000. <br><br>A lot of these homes have been maintained well through the years, and stand on lots that stretch between 5,000 and 7,500 square feet. A network of smooth sidewalks connects neighbors to each other and links all residents to some of the amenities in the area. Sale prices for homes in Studebaker usually hover from the $500,000s to the $800,000s. "It's an affordable area,” says local Realtor Alex Felix of VIP Real Estate Firm.<br><br>Students in Studebaker can reach multiple public schools by foot, part of the Little Lake City School District. The elementary school a young student here may attend depends on their address, but each of the options — Studebaker Elementary, Cresson Elementary, Lakeland Elementary, William Orr Elementary and Paddison Elementary — includes kindergarten through fifth grade, and each has a Niche rating of at least B-. From these elementary schools, students can progress to Lakeside Middle, where extracurricular courses include journalism and chorus. <br><br>Students matriculate into Santa Fe High School for Grades 9 to 12, part of the Whittier Union High School District. Santa Fe High’s graduation rate well surpasses the state average, at almost 98%. California’s average is 87%. <br><br>Residents in Studebaker can stroll to enjoy multiple parts around the neighborhood. This includes Lakeside Park, by Lakeside Middle. This roughly 5-acre area features a playground and multiple baseball diamonds, home to Little Lake Little League. There’s also a bit of grassy, open space that can be used for a picnic or a game of fetch with Fido. Sarah Mendez Park is another option, adjacent to William Orr Elementary. Besides a playground and athletic fields, this park houses the Orr Park Community Center, a 2,500-square-foot facility with a meeting room, enclosed picnic space and a kitchen. This park also hosts multiple events, like Bunny's Glowfest in the spring, with glow-in-the-dark Easter egg hunts, and a Haunted Teen Fest in the fall with a maze and games. <br><br>People in Studebaker have quick access to food and other essentials thanks to a couple of conveniently placed retail hubs. The area near the intersection of Norwalk Boulevard and Imperial Highway is one such hub. This is where you can grab some delectable teriyaki chicken and a cold Thai iced tea from Don’s Teriyaki Grill or hop across the road to knock out some shopping at Target. Another hub is the intersection of Studebaker Road and Firestone Boulevard, where you can pick up some bubble tea from Krak Boba and finish your grocery list at nearby Smart & Final or Costco. <br><br>Studebaker’s location along I-5 and I-605 means residents can reach Downtown Los Angeles quickly, by simply taking I-605 to I-5 and continuing north, a trip of just about 16 miles. All this is available at a relatively accessible price point, too, helping make this an attractive part of Norwalk.
