Smaller than the rest, and more industrial in parts, but there are real pockets of good value here for buyers willing to look past the light industrial zones near the freeway.
Neighborhoods
- Santa Fe. A quiet, family-friendly residential pocket with well-kept homes and local parks.
- Los Nietos. Midcentury homes, duplexes, and newer townhomes near Los Nietos Park.
Schools
Little Lake City School District serves the city, with Whittier Union High School District handling secondary schools. Santa Fe High School serves students from Santa Fe Springs, Norwalk, Downey, and Whittier.
Parks & Landmarks
Heritage Park is the local favorite, with shaded walking paths and regular cultural events, plus Little Lake Park and the Hathway Ranch and Oil Museum for a look at the city's history.
Getting Around
Freeway access via the 5, 605, and 105 is a real advantage here, part of why the industrial base exists in the first place.
What It Costs to Buy Here
Santa Fe Springs is part of the Los Angeles County market, and prices shift monthly. I publish a market report covering LA County, Orange County, and Pico Rivera every month, check the latest numbers here before you start touring.
