Historic Uptown Whittier offers walkable streets and local charm
The happening historical district of Uptown Whittier is just blocks from the Whittier College campus. With residential streets throughout, it's ideal for your long-term home. Bernadette Ramirez, a Realtor with PLF Real Estate Solutions, says, "It has a really nice vibe. It's like a downtown area, but they call it Uptown. You can walk to markets, eateries and shopping centers." Along the residential streets, you'll see lovely landscaping and well-kept lawns, some set off by picket fences, palms or flowering trees. At one time a thriving citrus ranching area and the largest walnut grower in the nation, Whittier has been designated as a Tree City by the National Arbor Day Foundation since 1984.
Uptown Whittier blends historic homes, tree-lined streets, and vibrant local shops in Los Angeles County.

Uptown Whittier housing includes vintage, midcentury and new builds
The historical nature of Uptown Whittier expands to its homes. You'll see impressive vintage architecture, including late Victorians with distinctive wood trim and bay windows, early 20th-century Craftsmans with ample front porches and 1920s Spanish Revival homes finished with smooth stucco and clay tile roofs. In terms of midcentury builds, multiunits, like duplexes or apartment buildings, are most common. And some newer homes and condominiums round out the housing options. Ramirez says, "Prices start at $700,000 and go all the way up to $2 million." The lower price points include homes of less than 1,500 square feet.

Uptown Whittier has sushi spots, murals and a food hall
There are tons of choices in Uptown Whittier when it comes to retail and dining. Ramirez recommends Azabu Sushi, which brings an LA vibe with upscale menu items like wagyu dumplings, truffle sashimi tacos and craft cocktails. Catina Urbana Kalveras pays homage to el Día de Los Muertos with colorful murals. Pick an entrée like Pasta a la Diabla, and don't miss the apple chimichanga for dessert.

With a brewery, wine bar and tasty choices like pizza, Indian food, tacos and ice cream, Poet Gardens enlivens the Whittier culinary scene. The Whittier Village Cinemas is a top spot for entertainment — you can see the newest movie releases — and there's reduced admission on bargain days.
