Our thorough background process includes credit checks, criminal background checks, identity verification checks and employment checks. This detailed process gives you the peace of mind of knowing that you have access to all of the necessary information to make an informed decision and protect your business. Your existing tenants can also rest assured that their new neighbor has been effectively screened to represent a low risk and is someone who embodies the characteristics that you desire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is El Segundo located?

El Segundo is a city in Santa Monica Bay, Los Angeles County, California, that is also known as "The Second" in Spanish. Manhattan Beach and Los Angeles International Airport form the town's northern and southern borders, while the Pacific Ocean forms its western boundary. Aviation Blvd. serves as a rough border on the east. The city is 5.5 square miles in total, with more than 99 percent of that area being land, according to the US Census Bureau.

How is the education in El Segundo?

The El Segundo Unified School District, which serves the residential area west of Pacific Coast Highway and runs El Segundo High School, is principally in charge of overseeing El Segundo's educational system. The Wiseburn Unified School District, which was once a part of the Centinela Valley Union High School District, receives tax revenue from the eastern portion of El Segundo. Furthermore, El Segundo is home to the private school Vistamar School. The city's educational past includes its 1896 founding as a member of the Wiseburn School District and its subsequent boundary changes that resulted in the creation of the El Segundo High School District in 1925 after the city left the Inglewood Union district.

How is the transportation system in El Segundo?

El Segundo is home to a well-planned transportation system. State Route 1, also referred to as the Pacific Coast Highway, runs through the city, while Interstate 105 begins at Sepulveda Boulevard, somewhat beyond the northern city boundaries. The El Segundo Bus Stop on the Amtrak Thruway is located near the Douglas station of the Los Angeles Metro Rail. It offers four daily departures that link to the Bakersfield Amtrak station and the Torrance Bus Stop. Passengers using San Joaquins services and connecting with the Pacific Surfliner at the Van Nuys Amtrak station can now transfer seamlessly. Furthermore, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is ideally situated to the north, improving accessibility throughout the region; nevertheless, a 2014 research on air quality raised issues regarding ultrafine particles produced during takeoffs and landings at LAX.

What is the economy like in El Segundo?

Built on the foundation of Chevron's 1911 refinery, El Segundo's economy is broad and includes major aerospace companies such as Boeing, Raytheon, and Lockheed Martin. With the NRG-run El Segundo power plant, the city serves as a center for energy production and is heavily involved in military space acquisitions. The thriving business community of the area is supported by notable enterprises such as A-Mark Precious Metals, AT&T Entertainment Hub, and Mattel. Air New Zealand and Japan Airlines are among the many airline headquarters drawn to El Segundo by its advantageous position close to Los Angeles International Airport. Its standing as a vibrant economic hub is emphasized by the presence of significant employers like Raytheon and Boeing.
