Downey: The Most Underrated Market in LA County
By Josh
Everyone's fighting over Culver City and Long Beach while Downey quietly puts up numbers.
Median home prices in Downey have climbed 12% year-over-year. The schools are solid, the commute to DTLA is under 30 minutes, and you're getting 30% more square footage than comparable neighborhoods closer to the coast.
What's driving it: - New mixed-use developments along Firestone Blvd - Proximity to the 5, 105, and 710 freeways - Strong family-oriented community with low crime stats - Healthcare corridor (Kaiser, PIH Health) bringing steady employment
What to watch for: - Older homes with unpermitted additions (common in this area) - Foundation issues on pre-1960 builds - HOA restrictions in newer tract developments
We've closed more homes in Downey than any other brokerage in the area. If you're looking here, talk to us first.
