Cerritos Homes & Real Estate

Cerritos Neighborhood

Over the years, much of Cerritos has grown and developed into a more suburban rather than agricultural area. The area is rather affluent but remains more affordable than many areas of Los Angeles. Home styles ranch, but Spanish-inspired architecture is widely common. There are some historic properties here as well as some that date back to the early 1950s. Several new developments are present as well. It’s possible to find a large estate here or a smaller condo, though most of the homes here are 2- and 3-bedroom single family properties.

In November of 2016, the median sale price of a home here was $678,000. This is about six percent higher than the same time in 2015. The average price per square foot is $379 which is also about a six percent increase from the previous year. By comparison, the median rent per month was over $2700. This can make buying a home in Cerritos an attractive opportunity.

With about 40 homes listed as existing homes for sale, this can be a tight real estate market for homebuyers. There is some new development of property that is helping to alleviate some of the limited options. Several home builders are in the area including Sai Construction, Parkview Homes, and KB Homes.
