Relatively affordable urban LA living in Vermont Slauson

Vermont-Slauson is a pocket-sized neighborhood in South Los Angeles that spans less than 2 square miles. “The biggest asset of this neighborhood is affordability for its location. It’s in the middle of the West LA and South Bay areas and centrally located. You can get anywhere within 30 minutes via the 10 and 110,” says Realtor Xio Sandoval with Century 21 Realty Masters. Sandoval has been active in South LA for 15 years and believes Vermont-Slauson will be the “next LA zip code that will turn into a hub” because of its access to freeways that keep it connected to the entirety of the city. Residents have been amassing in the neighborhood because classic California bungalows can sell under $800,000, which is a rarity in the greater LA area. Not only does Vermont-Slauson have an enticing housing market, but it also features proximity to parks, museums, stadiums, schools and markets that create an inviting and diverse atmosphere.

With easy access to the 110 freeway, Vermont-Slauson is perfect for the everyday commuter.

California bungalows and Vermont-Slauson’s ADUs

Vermont-Slauson’s residential map has a slew of California bungalows with entry level prices often at $650,000 to $700,000 for three-bedroom, two-bathroom 1,500 square foot lots. A crucial development in the area’s market, though, comes from Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU), which allow California residents to rent out a second property on a single lot. “Homeowners can now legally rent out separate units on their property and contribute that rent toward mortgage payments,” Sandoval says. “These ‘two on a lot,’ as we call them, have a huge influence on the Vermont-Slauson market.” Because LA is such a car dependent city, most homes feature driveways, and though quick trips to the store are often commuted by car, residents do enjoy walking the neighborhood on its well-maintained sidewalks.

Vermont-Slauson big-box stores and El Mercado La Paloma

For a nearby market and food court, locals can try El Mercado La Paloma. “When you walk into this market, you can truly see the blend of nationalities that is South LA. There are shops, about seven different cuisines to try, including Michelin-star rated Mexican seafood at Holbox, and it’s USC adjacent. It’s a great place for meetings, as well because it also has Wi-Fi,” Sandoval says. USC Village also has a variety of fast and casual dining options, such as CAVA and Starbucks. Vermont-Slauson residents can shop for groceries and essentials at Superior Grocers, and Food4Less and The Home Depot are within 2 miles. For retail, Slauson Super Mall is about 1 mile west, and the closest Target is about 3 miles away in USC Village.

Vermont-Slauson’s events and culture

Vermont-Slauson locals can enjoy events, concerts and museums close by. USC Village is a hot spot for events, including farmers markets every Sunday. Exposition Park of BMO Stadium has a Flea Market for aspiring small businesses and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County next door. “There are a lot of different festivals all over LA. Some of the most popular include the Taste of Soul food and family festival nearby, SoFi Stadium is a few miles south in Inglewood, and people like heading to Downtown LA for entertainment within 4 miles,” Sandoval says. In 2025, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is set to open, founded by George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars. This spaceship-shaped museum will exclusively spotlight visual storytelling and will sit near the Natural History Museum and LA Memorial Coliseum.

Vermont-Slauson pocket parks and sporting events

One of the perks of urban neighborhoods across LA is the access the mini parks that serve as outdoor oases from the concrete and congestion of buildings. These spaces tend to offer playgrounds and small green patches. Locals can hit a home run, shoot some hoops, play soccer or breeze through the monkey bars at the Mount Carmel Recreation Center, as well. For those who prefer to watch instead of play, about two miles north, the BMO Stadium hosts LA club soccer games and concerts, and next-door LA Memorial Coliseum football field is home to the University of Southern California Trojans. “Sports fans usually enjoy a full night when they go to a game, with a food court and beer garden at hand in the area,” Sandoval says.

Getting around LA and Vermont-Slauson

As to be expected in LA, most everyone drives, and there is rarely a break in traffic. “One positive is that there are fast track carpool lanes on the freeways and it’s cheaper than you might expect to buy these passes,” Sandoval says. The 10 and 110 are the major thoroughfares in the neighborhood and keep Vermont-Slauson connected. Public transportation is available, but not highly utilized. For air travel, the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is under 8 miles southwest via West Florence Ave.

With easy access to the 110 freeway, Vermont-Slauson is perfect for the everyday commuter.
