Beautiful homes and condominiums/town houses are found throughout Carson, CA. Dignity Sports complex hosts numerous events for families and sports fanatics. Delicious food options are available including full service restaurants, fast food places, buffet options and specialty stores. Convenient shopping at the South Bay Galleria. City parks, gyms, and pools with multiple activities for residents. Wonderful family oriented city!
Carson is a great city for the most part. There are some weirdos of course, but not too many. The city and its residents have lots of spirit for the town. Surprisingly, the city is more historic than you'll think. There are plenty of activities that occur around the city and MANY activities to keep your youngins busy. There are also many great big and small businesses and stores nearby to shop at. Overall, very good city!
I like Carson because they are slowly improving housing and attracting new businesses. I can say Carson is not as popular as other cities but it's slowly getting attraction. I also like how they are about improving their communities by giving back. In November of last year, Carson gave away turkey's to low-income families as well as giving away air purifiers when Carson had a bad smell coming from the pipelines due to hydrogen sulfide gas.
