Bell Reviews

Write a review about Bell Tell people what you like or don't like about Bell…
The City of Bell, a downtown of its own 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( Apr 26, 2018) Living in Bell for a few years when I attended a community college in L.A. was a great experience. The location and housing price was what attracted me and I was instantly mesmerized when I arrived. Up to this day, I still continue to visit the area at least three times a year.

 ...Read More One of my favorite things about it is the number of businesses in the area. From grocery stores to restaurants, to bars, the best areas in Bell are walking distance. This small city has everything you can think of but doesn’t feel too crumpled together.

I still find the community to be mostly friendly people. It’s like a melting pot of all kinds of different ethnicities, but mostly Hispanic. I lived in the area in the early 2000’s and crime was a little rough. I’ve noticed that throughout the years Bell has improved a lot cosmetically and crime is not a big deal like before. Read Less
