Central San Pedro Apartments for Rent

The community of Central San Pedro, in the Los Angeles district of San Pedro, is primarily a residential community, as well as one of the oldest in the L.A. Harbor area. One can still find rows of early- to mid-20th century bungalows and cottages on its hillside streets. It is located near one of the busiest ports in the world.

Central San Pedro is also one of the smallest communities in the area, made up of residential streets, two schools and a super market. The two schools occupy nearly half of the land in this neighborhood. Built in 1936, San Pedro High is one of the oldest schools in Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Dana Middle School is adjacent to it on Cabrillo Avenue.

The community is bounded by Gaffey Street to the south, 13th Street to the east, Walker Avenue to the north and 19th Street to the west. Its two major routes are Cabrillo Avenue and Gaffey Street, the latter connecting the community to the rest of San Pedro. Gaffey leads to the Harbor Freeway/Interstate 110 entrance. This freeway connects the industries in the harbor area to downtown L.A.

Cabrillo Avenue ends near Angel Gate Park in the Point Fermin community. This park contains a small artist colony, remnants of a World War II bunker, Fort MacArthur Museum, and a friendship bell and pavilion given to the people of Los Angeles by the South Korean government.

Another main street in the community, Western Avenue, covers nearly 20 miles, starting in Hollywood and ending by the cliffs of nearby White Point State Park.
