Los Alamitos is a community that has singlehandedly taught me about community. Coming from a divorced family, my life is a lot of carting back and forth between houses. However, my days at school in Los Alamitos have taught me a sense of family. My teachers and fellow students were my family, the streets were my hallways, the small businesses were my bedroom. Everyone I've met has greeted me with a smile, made an effort to learn my name and has bid me a good day. Since Los Alamitos is a smaller town, everyone knows everyone, and I appreciate that sense of community. Time here is pricey, for it is in an expensive tax bracket, however, every interaction is priceless.
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.
