Overall a very nice city, but there are definitely some controversial social issues (racism, homophobia, etc) that may make life difficult for underrepresented communities. Lots of shopping centers and restaurants that you wouldn't be able to find elsewhere! A great family city, but not great for 18-24 demographic due to lack of nightlife. Pretty diverse city.
Cerritos is a very Asian dominant filled city. That being said it is a very quiet city, which is good for families and elderly. Cerritos is very strict with its cleanliness but overall well kept. There is no overnight street parking allowed, if you're planning to have people over the weekend you do need to display an overnight parking permit provided by community safety department by the Sheriff's Station. Overall the city is very community orientated and is well kept. But don't just take my word for it, drive through the city yourself and see!
Cerritos is a beautiful city. The trees are lush and plentiful, alongside of almost every single street and road. Most of the power lines are underground too, so there is no drabby or messy appearance of electrical lines tangled with tree branches. The diversity here is mostly Asians and White people. There are not many African Americans or Latinos. This community is very peaceful, and there is a wide variety of shopping centers and grocery stores, such as the Cerritos Towne Center or the Cerritos Mall. Boba and Milk Tea are very popular here. The Cerritos Library and the City Hall are right next to each other. The library is a private non-profit organization so it is very elegant and beautiful. Overall, Cerritos is a very nice city that gives a sophisticated and clean feel!
