Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Gardena has not one, but two gold medalists! Daewon David Song, Korean-American professional skateboarder and Carmelita Jeter, 2012 Olympic games gold medalist both call this Southern California city their home.

The city of Gardena is located in southern California in the South Bay region of Los Angeles County. The population as of the 2010 US census was 58,829 and growing. Just a few miles east of the Pacific Ocean, this idyllic and picturesque city was settled by Civil War veteran, Spencer Roane Thorpe, in 1887. This area of land was known for having lush farmlands that produced an abundance of berries prior to World War 1. Since then, the berry fields have faded into history (poor berries), but the land remains lush, ripe with naturally beautiful sites such as the Gardena Willows Wetland Preserve in the southeastern region of the city. Some of the biggest employers are Memorial Hospital of Gardena, United Parcel Sevice and Hitco Carbon Composites to name just a few. Another bonus of living in Gardena is its close proximity to Manhattan, Hermosa and Redondo Beaches... so take your pick of ocean side spots any time you feel the urge to hit the waves or bury your feet in the sand!

Moving to Gardena

A few tips for planning the move

The first thing to do is write down a list of wishes. What I mean is a list of things you want in your new home, such as washer/dryer connections, a certain number of bedrooms or bathrooms, and any other specifics that will help narrow your search. Begin planning at least 6 weeks prior to your moving date and, if possible, call a local realtor or agent to assist you in your search. The professionals know the neighborhoods better than you at this point and will be able to steer you into your perfect area while considering your budget and must-haves. It never hurts to be informed by the experts!

Next, be prepared when you go to meet with the agent or realtor. Have your identification, your credit and rental history as well as work references ready to hand over. You also want to be prepared to pay an application fee, put down security deposits as required and locate local utility companies to set up an account for your new address. Once you have found your spot, get ready to enjoy this Southern California city because the climate will have you smiling all year round!

W Rosecrans Ave/Van Ness Ave:This neighborhood is filled with older, more established homes built between the years of 1940-1970s. There are newer homes, apartment buildings and some high rises here as well, but the true charm is in the historic homes. The neighborhood is very affordable, but has an extremely low vacancy rate at 0.4%, making it somewhat difficult to find anything available to rent.
