"I absolutely love this neighborhood. It has a great mix of young families, students, and older folks, and everyone is very friendly. It’s a lovely and safe place to walk around, and it’s very quiet while still being close to lots of activity (LAX, Venice, etc.)"

"We have seen many owners do not take care of droppings. I even witnessed people left plastic bags filled with feces in front of someone else’s yard or front. There were couple of occasions that young pet owners took their pets to places that ban dogs such as swimming pools and gyms. "

" Bumper to bumper traffic to major freeways starts at 6am. Too many bad mannered drivers are seen all day long. Some drivers play loud stereo in mid of residential area early/late hours. Some smoke weed in the parked cars. "

"I live in this neighborhood for around ten years and I like it. You must have cameras and security tools to be more safe. My bikes were stolen two times from my house. You have access to public transportation and also to main freeways."

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have 2 of my children here and I highly recommend it. I never thought I would have my kids in a Catholic school but Viz was the perfect place for us. The community (parent, families, staff) is so amazing and welcoming, the faculty and staff are very caring, supportive, and seem to always have the children’s best interest at the forefront of everything. The security of the students is top notch and very well communicated. The teachers have been very sweet and at the same time have a great structured class, and have excelled academically, thanks to their patience and time dedicated to them and what they need. Can’t wait for my 3rd little to start school with them.Parent Review1y ago13 Reviews - La Tijera Methodist Children's Center

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSt. Jerome School is thriving! The current principal and staff have completely transformed the school into a high academic, safe, and fun environment. They truly care about the students and families, and it shows! You do not get that everywhere! There is always a special activity, treat, field trip or experience at St. Jerome. I am fortunate that my daughter attends this school. It is the best place for her. She is well taken care of, challenged and happy. It is a nurturing place, instilling morals and values, where kids can learn, while practicing their faith and God's teachings. In today's climate, where schools are battle grounds, I am fortunate my child attends St. Jerome School!Parent Review1y ago32 Reviews
