Carson
Incorporated in 1968, Carson is a relatively young city. True to its motto, “Future unlimited.” it’s the 8th largest city in Los Angeles County with a growing population of 89,000.
Served by the Los Angeles Unified School District, students rank in 20 to 60th percentile. Cal State University-Dominguez Hills provides a great bonus to the city by raising the perception of academia, offering low cost extension classes and numerous cultural and sporting events.
The majority of housing is single family homes with neat and trim lawns. While mostly a bedroom community, light industry, retail and big business create about 6,000 local jobs. Crime is about average for a city this size.
Only six miles from the ocean, Carson has a sports complex, community center, two golf courses, its own symphony, a dozen parks, jogging and recreational facilities at the university, a large shopping mall and convention center.
There’s light rail to Long Beach as well as downtown Los Angeles (18 miles). LAX is only 10 miles away.
