Vermont Vista

Los Angeles, California Homes for Sale

Casual bars are the local favorite in this part of Los Angeles. Places that serve cheap drinks and have a laid back atmosphere are the norm, and residents enjoy stopping by for a cocktail or two after work. Those who seek a more varied night out can head north to Downtown Los Angeles' L.A. Live, which is home to several movie theatres, fine dining, and a world-class entertainment venue at the Staples Center.

Vermont Vista has several municipal parks that are fun options for a Sunday out in the beautiful Southern California weather. Bring a picnic basket and some beverages for a day that's great for the whole family. If you want to head out on the water, drive south towards Long Beach for boat charters and adventure on the high seas.

With a total geographical area of 1.65 square miles and a population of almost 25,000, Vermont Vista boasts one of the highest population densities in L.A. Much of the city is residential housing, with the occasional strip mall interspersed between the rows of apartment buildings. Due to the fact that so many people are living in a relatively small area, single-family homes are relatively rare. Residents often overwhelmingly rent apartments, and most live in the narrow gap between West Century Boulevard and Imperial Highway. Cheap rent can be found in Vermont Vista, which may make it appealing for those on a tight budget yet want to live in Los Angeles.

One of the most endearing aspects of Los Angeles is that the diverse mix of ethnicities and cultures ensures there is always amazing, authentic food to be found. Vermont Vista is no different. Although the city is guilty of having more than its fair share of fast food restaurants, there are also plenty of great casual dining options as well. The city's robust Latino population means that you can't walk far without the smell of fresh corn tortillas and authentic Mexican dishes wafting into the air. Residents and visitors passing through love stopping by one of the local taquerias or Mexican restaurants for a quick bite to eat.

Since the 110 Harbor Freeway South serves as Vermont Vista's de-facto eastern boarder, expect to see heavy traffic snarling through the city's streets at all hours of the day. Cars ranging from semi-trucks to commuter vans will try to take shortcuts through the neighborhood. There is also an abundance of graffiti covering many of the buildings in Vermont Vista. You'll also see residents from different backgrounds and lifestyles as well as singles and families with children.
