Bell Gardens Overview

Scenically located in the heart of Los Angeles County, Bell Gardens is a fantastic place to call home. Brimming with easy access to retail shopping, a world of dining options, a solid economic base and the Pacific Ocean just a short jaunt away, this California hot spot is sure to appeal to a wide array of lifestyles.

What is the history of Bell Gardens?

Home to the oldest still-standing house in the entire LA area, Bell Gardens dates all the way back to humble beginnings in the late 1700s. Primarily a land of cattle raising and farming, the 1800s saw a number of stately homes constructed, with the city's first school opening soon after. Japanese gardeners were early settlers of the region, granting the city a popularity in the realm of fresh produce, and helped in adding to the 'Gardens' aspect of the city moniker. Firestone Tire Company chose the city as a base of operations in the early 1920s, and Pioneer Chicken, once one of the nation's most prominent fast-food chains, continues to operate in Bell Gardens.

How is the weather in Bell Gardens?

Like much of California, Bell Gardens is prone to a hearty supply of sunshine. Summers are hot and lengthy, with temperatures typically hovering in the 80s. Winters can see some precipitation, but those residing in Bell Gardens apartments need not worry about snow. Autumn and spring are both typically quite pleasant, with cooler evening temps.

How do I get around town?

Most living in Bell Gardens rentals claim at least one personal vehicle to their name, although some bus service is available leading to the heart of Los Angeles. LAX remains the most convenient airport option, with numerous domestic and international flights daily, while rail service is in shorter supply. Ride sharing options like Lyft and taxi service are both within easy reach for most living in Bell Gardens apartments.

What is the Bell Gardens commute like?

Navigating the city proper is usually a breeze, although those commuting to LA will typically encounter some heavy traffic woes on most week days. Los Angeles Blvd and Interstate 710 both cruise past the western tier of the city limits, and I-5 also is reached with ease from a variety of Bell Gardens apartments for rent. Garfield Avenue acts as a default Main Street in the city, running through the center of town and often popular with bicyclists.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Bell Gardens Sun' is a popular smaller news periodical in the region, and of course the 'LA Times' remains the frontrunner for most locals. Radio leans towards tried-and-true formats such as classic rock, modern favorites and even Tejano jazz, with plenty of talk radio options as well. Broadcasting is similarly strong, with Bell Gardens apartments offering most major network programming thanks to nearby LA affiliates.

Why live in Bell Gardens, CA?

From historic landmarks to a long history of scenic, natural beauty, Bell Gardens rentals remain in-demand for good reason. With numerous public parks in the area and local schools that consistently make the grade, this west coast hot spot is an ideal place to call home for both young professionals and growing families alike. 

What Bell Gardens landmarks should I see?

The Gage Mansion is a must-see that dates all the way back to 1785, and the Avila Adobe also has stood proud since the early 1800s, both located conveniently from many Bell Gardens apartments for rent. The Indian Revival Church is another popular local landmark, and the Santino Bros Wrestling Academy has been teaching physical fitness and self-defense to budding athletes for decades.

What is there to do around Bell Gardens?

Take a jog along the trails of Veteran's Park, or try your luck with a visit to the Bicycle Casino, one of the largest poker casinos in the world. DEL Records is just a hop and a jump from most Bell Gardens apartments, and no kitchen fridge is complete without a visit to the famous Pioneer Chicken home base. The California Science Center and The Broad Gallery are both within easy driving distance, and King Richard's Antique Center is a fantastic place to visit to help outfit your new Bell Gardens apartment.

Any annual festivals or Bell Gardens events to know?

The Cuban American Music Festival is a hit with the locals, and the LA Salsa Bachata Fest always draws huge crowds to the city.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Hit the coast for some fun in the sun at one of Cali's famous beaches, or spend a weekend in San Francisco's wine country, both an easy commute from most Bell Gardens apartments.

Where is the best place to move in Bell Gardens?

From roomy 2-bedroom units close to the interstate to economic efficiency rentals complete wiht onsite parking, Bell Gardens apartments are diverse and waiting for you. Start your hunt today and discover all that California has in store!
