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.

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?
