Nestled in Los Angeles County just 15 miles from the Pacific Ocean, Whittier welcomes residents with its historic architecture and convenient location. Named after Quaker poet John Greenleaf Whittier, the city's well-preserved Uptown district features tree-lined streets and classic buildings that reflect its rich heritage. With average rent for a one-bedroom apartment at $1,631 (slightly below the California state average), Whittier presents housing options in the greater Los Angeles area.
Whittier's neighborhoods each offer their own appeal, from Central Park and Hadley-Greenleaf with historic Craftsman and Spanish Colonial Revival architecture to the established Friendly Hills area. The city centers around Whittier College and includes shopping destinations like Whittwood Town Center, with easy access to greater Los Angeles via the San Gabriel River Freeway (I-605). Mediterranean weather patterns create perfect conditions for exploring local parks like Parnell Park and Penn Park, while the historic Uptown district hosts an array of local restaurants and cafes.

"Best value" units are located in buildings rated three stars or higher. We label apartment rentals that are priced significantly less than similar high-quality units nearby.
Apartment communities regularly advertise deals for new residents. Whether it's a move-in special or a free tv, we locate the rentals that offer a little something extra when you sign your lease.
