Industrial powerhouse meets LA suburb
A former Spanish rancho and hot springs health resort, Santa Fe Springs’ colorful history reached its most pivotal point in the early 1920s — when one of the nation’s largest oil strikes took place. This has affected the city through the present day, with Santa Fe Springs remaining far more industrial than its neighbors. The manufacturing powerhouse is considered one of the Gateway Cities, with a location ideal for commuters working throughout the Los Angeles metro area, although there are plenty of warehouse jobs right in town. The city’s small residential section embodies the classic LA suburb, with streets of midcentury homes and strip malls.

Much of Santa Fe Springs is composed of warehouses and business centers, the only residential section being the community’s east side. With many single-family homes, the area has a laidback, suburban feel. The streets are often lined with magnolia trees and sidewalks, plus the yards are large enough for garden beds. Many are landscaped with palm trees and roses. Most of the architecture is midcentury ranch-style homes and cottages, although there are Mediterranean townhouses in the gated Villa Verde Townhomes community. The median sales price in Santa Fe Springs is $750,000, with homes staying on the market for 23 days on average, compared to the national average of 45 days.
