Bellflower History

Bellflower started the 1950s with about 4,600 housing units, about 20 percent of its current housing stock. In the 1950s, it added 7,147 homes and apartments and in the 1960s, 4,560 residential units. In the 1970s and 1980s, the city built about 8,000 units equally divided between the decades. Since the 1990 census, housing starts have been limited to about 250 units. Bellflower is built for the middle class. Among owner-occupied homes, the three-bedroom model dominates.

Bellflower Housing

Bellflower has a layout that shows up in several other communities in L.A. County. Much of the city is subdivided into large lots that once contained a single home but in following years have added, out back, other homes and apartments. In some places the single home smoothly blends into an apartment complex. Typically, one driveway serves all the residential units. Some large lots contain just one home and this gives parts of Bellflower a country feeling.

In appearance, the city shows a lot of care. The homes are in good repair, the yards tended. The state in 1999 counted 24,354 housing units: 11,489 single homes, 1,727 single attached, 9,601 multiples, 1,537 mobiles.
