Homes in Cerritos
I have lived in Cerritos
I have lived in Cerritos, and this is the page I point people to when they ask me about buying a home here. It covers schools, parks, shopping and how to get around. For homes on the market today, use the Cerritos listings link on this page.
The city
Cerritos incorporated in 1956 (City of Cerritos, retrieved October 2026) as the City of Dairy Valley.
Schools
Public schools in Cerritos are part of ABC Unified School District, whose district office is on Norwalk Boulevard in Cerritos. I point buyers to the state's own data rather than my opinion.
Neighborhood school assignment depends on the address, so confirm it with the district for any home you are considering, then look up that school on the California School Dashboard.
Whitney High School is different: it admits students through the district's placement testing, not by address, so buying a home in Cerritos does not by itself mean a seat there. Its four-year graduation rate was 99.4% (California Department of Education, DataQuest, as of 2024-25 school year, retrieved October 2026), and its Dashboard page has its other results.
Parks
Don Knabe Community Regional Park, on Bloomfield Avenue, covers 84 acres (City of Cerritos, retrieved October 2026), and the city lists two fishing lakes there. Heritage Park, also on Bloomfield Avenue, is themed on Boston in 1776, with a play island, a ship and water features.
Shopping
Los Cerritos Center is the regional mall, and Cerritos Towne Center is an open-air shopping center.
Getting around
The 91 freeway crosses the city and the 605 runs along its western edge, so Long Beach, Orange County and Los Angeles are all within reach by car.
