Gardena
A city with many trees, Gardena is also known as “The Freeway City” because it’s just minutes from LAX, Long Beach Airport, Port of Los Angeles and the Alameda Corridor.
There are approximately an equal number of apartments and single family homes. Slightly more than half the homes were built during and immediately after WW II. The newer styles have adopted the postwar model with three bedrooms.
Neighborhoods are clean and well maintained. Education provided by the Los Angeles Unified School District, ranks in the 20th and 30th percentile. Crime is about average for a city this size—population 57,500.
Amenities include a half dozen parks, community center, community gym, swim center, seniors center and first class library. El Camino Community College sits on the southern border. Gardena is six miles from LAX, five miles from the beach and 15 miles from downtown Los Angeles.
