Norwalk, CA
Parking and the city council -
1/8/2008I live on Ferina street near Studebaker and I recommend that anyone looking for apartments in this area should consider the horrible parking conditions on this street. The city of Norwalk requires permits for parking on much of the south side of the street and only grants the permits to the residents who live in the houses. Each house on the block comes with a full driveway and two car garage while our apartment comes with only one parking spot. The south side of the street has plenty of available parking nearly all of the time, but we are unable to park there, creating very minimal parking for the rest of us. There are nights were I get home from work and have to walk by nearly 3 blocks of unoccupied parking (many time with groceries, in rain, ect.). It is completely unfair, the city tickets very aggressively and will not grant the same rights to apartment renters as they will to the selected few who live in the houses. Either the City of Norwalk simply does not care about the rights of those who rent apartments, or they just simply to profit from thsoe with the lowest income.
Hawthorne, CA
Not a fan of Hawthorne -
1/10/2007I wouldn't recomend anyone raise children here. The weather is about as mild as anywhere in the world, but the area is a little too rough for most normal people. There are some nice looking neighborhoods down some streets but for the most part I don't think its worth the cost to live here.
