    "It's not very ideal, but it's somewhat cheap. As long as you don't mess with the wrong people, you're fine. In the daytime is not too bad. You walk to places. Markets aren't that far. At night it's better to drive."
  • Danae S.
    "When I first moved to Compton in 2006 I wasn't ready for the nice variety of people and also the beautiful neighborhoods that I call hidden jewels. Compton isn't as bad as you think!!"
