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.

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.

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.
