According the 2010 US Census, almost 90% of the city speaks a language other than English in the home, demonstrating the area’s diverse inhabitant base. With a median home value of $282,700 and located only about 7 miles from downtown Los Angeles, Bell offers a more affordable option for those seeking proximity to the big city.
