LOS ALAMITOS HAS THE SMALL TOWN FEELING THAT WE ALL YEARN FOR. IT IS 20 MINUTES FROM SURF CITY USA AND ABOUT 2 HOURS FROM SNOWY BIG BEAR MOUNTAIN. CRIME IS LOW AND IVE NEVER FELT UNSAFE. AS FORMER MISS LOS ALAMITOS USA 2004, I COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD TO RAISE MY DAUGHTERS HERE, HAVING THEM ATTEND THE SAME SCHOOLS AS I.LOS AL IS THE BEST!
This is really a small city, which is nice compared to how big Los Angeles is. The neighborhood is friendly and mostly filled with older Caucasian generations. I've met many millennials that are just finding the place and moving in. I like that there is a business for everything you may be looking for located within 10 minutes max of everything. There's the neighborhood car wash, the neighborhood fish market, and the neighborhood plaza filled with restaurants and shopping favorites like Target, Kohls, and TJ Max. This is a very family friendly neighborhood with not much of a nightlife. Everything is closed by midnight, which I happen to love. I also love all the "hole in the wall" places that you won't find anywhere else. These small mom and pop businesses are my favorite feature of the city. They have the best service and really treat you like family,a trait that's been lost in today's overpopulated markets. Living in this city is like being part of a community that takes care/pride.
Although I’ve been living in Los Al for a while now, I’ve never felt it as a home. When I first moved here, I attended Los Alamitos High School for a couple months. The lack of diversity told me everything I needed to know about this school. My suspicions were confirmed after I was racially discriminated against by my teachers and classmates. Not once, but multiple times. I felt so isolated it ate me up and ruined my mindset. My mental health was so bad, I transferred back to my old school. And even after transferring back, I suffered from insomnia, social anxiety, and depression. I’m seeing a therapist now and doing much better however, a part of me will always be broken.
