San Pedro is truly one of the South Bay’s best-kept secrets. This city is quickly becoming one of the most desirable areas to live in, and it’s no surprise.
Coastal views, mom & pop shops, and many historical locations reside here- including the @battleshipiowa.
If you’re looking for that “small town” feel, San Pedro might be the right town for you.
San Pedro sits at the end of the Harbor Freeway and is loved for its relaxed, yet vibrant lifestyle. Many streets feature hills, and homes are generally more affordable compared to other South Bay cities.
When locals think of San Pedro, they often picture the downtown harbor and the iconic Vincent Thomas Bridge. Children living here have access to L.A.U.S.D. schools.
Some historical landmarks that reside here include a Japanese Memorial on Terminal Island and the Korean Friendship Bell, a massive bronze bell housed in Angel’s Gate Park.
Have friends visiting? Be sure to take them to the L.A. Waterfront: a vibrant waterfront destination, filled with cruise ships, promenades, cafes, and even the Battleship Iowa! 🚢
Other popular points of interest include Cabrillo Beach Tide Pools, Averill Park, and “First Thursdays.”
On the first Thursday of every month, the city hosts the “First Thursday Art Walk” at the corner of 6th Street and Mesa Street from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Stop by to enjoy live music, art, shopping, and plenty of food trucks!
