Whittier Overview

Dear Town, for whom the flowers are born / Stars shine, and happy songbirds sing. How many cities can you think of that were named for, and celebrated by, a famous poet? Whittier boasts colorful historic districts, along with rolling hills and canyons. All this, and only a dozen or so miles away from Los Angeles and coastal beaches!

What is the history of Whittier?

Whittier was founded by a Spanish soldier in 1784. Manuel Nieto received a Spanish land grant for an area stretching from the hills north of the area down to the Pacific Ocean. Quaker settlers later named the town after the Quaker poet John Greenleaf Whittier.

How is the weather in Whittier?

Its proximity to the ocean, as well as its elevation, means that Whittier residents enjoy mild winters and pleasant summers. The average temperature is in the 70s for much of the winter and spring, and the mid to high 80s in the summer and fall. Expect more rain in the winter than in the warmer months.

How do I get around town?

Whittier residents have access to several bus lines, taking them to points within the city as well as to destinations such as Los Angeles, Montebello, La Mirada and Norwalk. There's also bike and walking access throughout the downtown areas.

What is the Whittier commute like?

The Montebello transit line goes from the Whittwood Mall to the Atlantic Gold Line station, part of the Metro Line system. For people commuting by car, Whittier has convenient access to both interstate and state highways. Major city-linking thoroughfares also run though Whittier, including Beverly Boulevard and Colima Road.

What are the local media outlets?

The Whittier Daily News is a popular local paper. Area newspapers with Whittier and L.A. Country happenings include the Los Angeles Times and the Orange County Register. Of course, as part of the L.A. Metropolitan area, residents enjoy easy access to major television and radio stations.

Why live in Whittier, CA?

Named after poet John Greenleaf Whittier, the city is home to the famed Whittier College. As an official Gateway City, Whittier is convenient to the entertainment and employment mecca that is Los Angeles. At the same time, choosing Whittier apartment life means that you're surrounded by historical areas, beaches, and places to hike and bike. It's large enough to host world-class shopping and dining, as well as several arts, food and entertainment festivals throughout the year. Yet Whittier is small enough to shut out the headaches that major population centers bring.

What Whittier landmarks should I see?

You'll find several of southern California's most important landmarks in Whittier, including the Pio Pico state park and mansion, commemorating the final governor of Alta California under Mexican reign. Whittier is also home to the largest continuous cemetery in the world, Rose Hills Memorial Park. Whittier College and Southern California University of Health Sciences are within city limits.

What is there to do around Whittier?

Spotting all the film and TV locations throughout Whittier can take days, from the high school used in the Back to the Future movies to cemetery scenes filmed for True Blood. There's also tons of hiking and biking, including the famous Greenway Trail. And don't forget about one-of-a-kind shopping and dining experiences in the city's historic Uptown shopping district.

Any annual festivals or Whittier events to know?

Festivals abound in Whittier, taking advantage of the city's rich history and pleasant year-round weather. The city's Christmas parade and Halloween Capers event are legendary, as are the annual classic car festival, art and antique event, and "taps and tapas" food/drink fest.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Whittier is only 15 miles from the Pacific Ocean. That puts residents within an easy drive of celebrated SoCal beaches like Redondo and Manhattan beaches. And, of course, the bright lights of L.A. always beckon. Explore Universal Studios and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, along with classic spots such as Chinatown and Beverly Hills - famed Rodeo Drive.

Where is the best place to move in Whittier?

Are you drawn to Whittier's rich history? The Uptown Whittier area features cobblestone streets and traditional businesses. Apartments in Whittier in this section can be found in the Hadley-Greenleaf and Central Park neighborhoods. Nearby East Whittier features Whittier apartments geared to single professionals and small families. The Friendly Hills neighborhood boasts larger single-family homes and more luxurious Whittier apartments. The Colima neighborhood is rich in mid century-era residential buildings, if you're looking for apartments in Whittier with a bit of a "Mad Men" vibe. Finally, the Hacienda Heights area is a haven for hikers and motorists alike, with its proximity to Trumbull Canyon and its winding roads.
