Lomita Real Estate

Lomita Real Estate & Homes for Sale in California

Also known in Spanish as the "Little Hill," Lomita began early in 1907 starting out as farming village and the abode of retired sea captains. It wasn't until 1923 when black gold was discovered here that things began to change. The city was incorporated in 1964 and the family-oriented residents stopped the large industrial and high-rise businesses from taking their "village." Though less than a 30-minute drive from the bustle of the metropolitan area of Los Angeles, family is still Lomita's trademark. The community’s approximate 20,000 residents spiritedly partake of the city’s many family and community events, including Western Family Fun Night and Lomita Founder’s Day Fair. Industries that provide employment in Lomita include educational, health and social services, manufacturing, retail trade, and professional, scientific, management, administrative, and waste management services. Students in grades K-12 are served by schools of the Los Angeles Unified School District. Several colleges and universities are in close proximity – including the University of Southern California – for those who wish to attain a degree in higher education.
