Bell Overview

Offering scenic western views of the Los Angeles River, Bell is a charming slice of California living. Located snugly in LA County with easy access to big city amenities, this locale of 30,000+ is an excellent choice for anyone considering a move to the west coast.

What is the history of Bell?

James Bell and his family settled in the area in 1876, and their home still stands as a testament to those early years today, recently dubbed a California State Historical Resource. Cattle and small farming were the primary industries of the town, and by 1913 the city boasted a school house and a library. By 1925 the city had advanced in not only sanitation and sewer services, but also added a local newspaper and movie house to the downtown scene. Bell was officially incorporated in 1927.

How is the weather in Bell?

Bell apartment residents will certainly benefit from that famous California sunshine, with summers warm and pleasant and winters as mild as they get. Spring storms can be commonplace, and the proximity of Bell to the coast occasionally yields ground fog and somewhat clammy conditions.

How do I get around town?

A majority of those residing in Bell rentals rely on a personal car or truck for day to day travel, although some great LA County bus service can be found. Bicycling has also increased in popularity in recent years, and the Los Angeles Airport is a giant hub for air travel, located conveniently close to a number of Bell apartments for rent.

What is the Bell commute like?

Interstate 710 hugs the eastern end of the city and acts as the primary roadway leading in and out of East Los Angeles, while South Atlantic Blvd provides a default Main Street running through the center of town. Traversing the city proper is typically an easy feat, although those commuting to greater LA for work can expect to experience some of that notorious Los Angeles gridlock.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Bell Industrial Post' is arguably the most famous newspaper in the city, and Bell's proximity to LA proper means plenty of options when it comes to network television. NBC, CBS and a host of others are found with ease in most Bell apartments thanks to nearby affiliates. Radio runs the gamut from classic rock to modern country, sporting news to jazz.

Why live in Bell, CA?

Flush with local public parks and plenty of area schooling options, this LA County city is small on hassle and big on heart. Scenic natural views await, with both the roar of the west coast ocean and the excitement of Hollywood both just a short drive away. Retail shopping and world-class eateries are never far from home, and that oh-so-famous California sun always seems to be shining in this idyllic, charming city.

What Bell landmarks should I see?

The Bell House is easily one of the most famous hot spots in the city, and the Bell Library dates back to almost the turn of the century 1900. Ernest Debs Park is known all over the region for its dedication to soccer fields and play, and Camp Little Bear Lodge has been been giving kids great summer memories for years.

What is there to do around Bell?

Get into the swing of things with a visit to the batting cages at Veteran's Memorial Park, or hit the half pipe at the SK8 ramps, both just a short ride from numerous apartments in Bell. El Ceviche Loco specializes in Mexican-inspired small plates, and Ibiza is a great nightspot where you can dance the night away. The Bicycle Casino is never far away for those that wanna try their luck at the gambling tables, and of course the famous Cali shoreline is just a quick drive away.

Any annual festivals or Bell events to know?

March brings the City of Bell Carnival, complete with games of chance and plenty of tasty street food offerings, while larger scale events such as the Downey International Food Festival and LA Beer Fest are both within easy reach of a large swath of Bell rentals.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Head south to the fishing and sightseeing fun of San Diego, or simply stroll along the famous piers of San Francisco, both great vacation options for those residing in apartment in Bell. Of course, the star-studded excitement of Hollywood is just around the corner, as is a world of famous nightclubs and restaurants.

Where is the best place to move in Bell?

From family-friendly 3 bedroom rentals close to area schools to single bedroom options offering close proximity to views of the river and plenty of reserved parking, apartments in Bell aim to please a wide array of budgets and lifestyles. Start your hunt today and start enjoying all that LA County has to offer!
