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!
As a previous Cerritos resident, I thought that my experience was that of good safety and strong education. All of the schools in Cerritos are strong academically and their a lot of student resources. The city itself has multiple parks and there a lot of things to do recreationally for fitness and fun. The mall continues to be updated and the shopping centers have a lot of things around to do. The city is increasing in diversity and there are newer younger families all the time. The city itself is very expensive, but it is family friendly.
