    "There is easy access to many major freeways (Cerritos was almost named Freeway City). The surface streets are fairly well maintained, so commute time is pretty short and safe. Most traffic is around peak times, such as school drop off and pick up, or mornings and typical rush hour. Traffic is closer to the freeway, but lots of side streets to take with less traffic. "

    "I have some really neighborly and friendly neighbors and then I have neighbors that speak other languages and are from different cultures so it’s hard for them to communicate and/or feel comfortable to do so, but they’re still very nice. It’s very diverse. The neighborhood is very BIG on looking out for the neighborhood. Our parks and recreation programs have LOTS for everyone!!"
