Norwalk, next door to Cerritos

Norwalk sits right next to Cerritos, where I have lived. Cerritos and Artesia are on its south side. This page covers prices, schools, parks and how to get around. For homes on the market today, use the Norwalk listings link on this page.

The city

Norwalk incorporated in 1957 (City of Norwalk, retrieved October 2026). Its city hall is on Norwalk Boulevard (City of Norwalk).

Prices next to Cerritos

The Census Bureau puts the median value of owner-occupied homes in Norwalk at $644,700 (U.S. Census Bureau, QuickFacts (American Community Survey 5-year estimates), as of 2020–2024, retrieved October 2026), against $935,300 (U.S. Census Bureau, QuickFacts (American Community Survey 5-year estimates), as of 2020–2024, retrieved October 2026) in Cerritos. That is the same survey and the same period for both cities, so it is a fair side-by-side. A median is not a price for any one home; ask me for recent sales on the street you are looking at.

Schools

Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District has its district office on Pioneer Boulevard in Norwalk. Which district and school serve a home depends on the address, so confirm the assignment for any home you are considering, then look up that school on the California School Dashboard.

Cerritos College, the community college, is in Norwalk, on Alondra Boulevard.

Parks

Norwalk Park, on Clarkdale Avenue, shares its address with the Norwalk Aquatic Pavilion. Holifield Park, on Excelsior Drive, covers 16 acres (City of Norwalk, retrieved October 2026). For local history, the city runs tours of the D.D. Johnston-Hargitt House Museum on Mapledale Street.

Getting around

The city lists access to Interstate 5, Interstate 605, Interstate 105 and State Route 91 (City of Norwalk). For rail, the Norwalk/Santa Fe Springs Metrolink station is on Imperial Highway, and the Metro C Line runs between Norwalk and the LAX/Metro Transit Center.
