Just moved to Bell Gardens, any tips?

Hey folks, I'm retired and You can expect to pay around $1,658 for rent here. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a nurse who relocated here from Denver about 8 years ago. The main reasons were work and my partner's job.

Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Nice parks and green spaces

Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Homeless population growing downtown

Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are established, gas is pretty good.

Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. No regrets on my end..
