Compton Overview
Known as 'Hub City' thanks to its conveniently centralized location to downtown Los Angeles, Compton is a historic, working-class city in the great state of California. Boasting a proud character and plenty of west coast charm all its own, this iconic locale is well worthy of consideration by anyone yearning for a Cali rental to call home.
What is the history of Compton?
Incorporated in 1888 to a body population of just 500, Compton grew quickly through the years that followed. Initially a farming region, the city saw the opening of the Compton Airport as well as we junior college by the 1920s, and gradually the city became a sought-after zip code for many suburban residents of the Los Angeles area. Known for its cultural diversity as well as its convenient location, Compton apartments are seemingly always in-demand.
How is the weather in Compton?
California weather is about as good as it gets, and those calling an apartment for rent in Compton home will experience it in full. Sunny, warm days are the norm, with rainfall minimal and snow unheard of. Spring and autumn tend to be especially pleasant, with mild evening temps and plenty of sunshine-filled afternoons.
How do I get around town?
Owning a car or truck is the norm in the city, although public transportation options are wide-reaching as well. Bus service is provided by both Greyhound and Compton Renaissance Transit, with the Metro Blue Line offering rail service to the heart of LA and beyond. Compton Airport is fairly small in scope, but those living in Compton apartments can easily access LAX and other regional airports offering international flights. Taxis and ride-sharing options are reached with ease, and bicycling is also popular around town.
What is the Compton commute like?
Four distinct freeways can be found throughout the city, including Interstates 710 and 105, with State Route 91 covering the southern tier of the city and Interstate 110 rounding the west. LA traffic can be notoriously thick, and commuters will wisely often choose to utilize the rail service when heading to work in greater Los Angeles rather than attempt to infiltrate the gridlock via car.
What are the local media outlets?
The 'LA Times' remains the dominating print media in the city, with an assortment of smaller arts and entertainment-leaning periodicals found with ease as well. Radio is dominated by Urban and Top-40 Hip Hop formats for the most part, with sporting news and some jazz also available on the airwaves. Broadcasting is in high supply for residents of Compton apartments, with local LA affiliates delivering major options such as NBC and CBS.
Why live in Compton, CA?
Long a staple of popular culture as a landmark city of greater Los Angeles, Compton rentals are an excellent spot for those desiring a Cali residence that offers big city amenities and a highly ideal centralized location. The city was recently designated as an 'Entrepreneurial Hot Spot' by Cognetics, Inc. and the local economy of 'Hub city' remains solid thanks to textile and other industrial manufacturing in the area.
What Compton landmarks should I see?
History buffs will not have to travel far to find numerous hot spots of interest in the city, including the peaceful solitude of the Angeles Abbey Cemetery, which dates back to the 1920s, and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. Natural boundary and geography marker The Eagle Tree is sure to delight the botanist fan in your family, and the aptly-named Heritage House is the oldest home in the city, dating all the way back to the mid-1800s and located just a stone's throw from many Compton apartments for rent.
What is there to do around Compton?
Spend an afternoon exploring the technology installations and more at the Tomorrow's Aeronautical Museum, or cheer on the home team at the Major League Baseball Academy, both an easy reach from most Compton rentals. The Green Olive is a great place to grab a bite to eat, while the Sheek Lounge offers hip-hop DJs and a variety of cocktails nightly. Of course, with downtown Los Angeles just a short train or bus ride away, a world of museums, art galleries and nightlife are never out of reach.
Any annual festivals or Compton events to know?
Earth Day Fest dominates each April, complete with science fair competitions and more, while the Youth Air Fair takes to the skies with aviation displays. The Florence Firestone Festival combines tasty local cuisine with energetic live music, and the Hollyweb Fest draws cinema fans from miles around every summer.
Where are the nearby vacation spots?
Hit Highway 101 and cruise down the west coast with only the ocean as your guide, or head south to the seafood mecca of San Diego, both an easy reach from many Compton apartments for rent. Oregon's famous hiking and camping excursions are also a great escape, with the bright lights of Las Vegas a sure bet as well for those interested in a true road trip adventure.
Where is the best place to move in Compton?
From luxurious highrise apartments in Compton offering sweeping city views and onsite reserved parking, to economic family rentals close to area schools and the commuter rail, Compton apartments for rent are wide-reaching in scope, amenities and price. Start your hunt today, and start seeing what life in California has in store for you!
