Is Cerritos walkable? Allow for car-lite living?

Cerritos was recently recommended to me as a place to consider for my family, given the high quality schools and the fact that it MIGHT be somewhat walkable (These are our top two desires for a place to live) On paper it looks pretty borderline. Perhaps just barely walkable in the right spots. What are your thoughts?

We would have no commute...just need to get my kids to school and get Asian food for the family haha. Would we be able to live car-lite, only needing a car for special trips and not on a daily basis? Or would we literally be the only people trying to walk around the neighborhood for necessities?

Just trying to see if I should bother to investigate further or not. Thanks!

Hello Neighbors

I’m Ethan, a local student here in the area. Between my classes and family, I’m working hard to grow my own small business, and I’d love the chance to help you out with some of those outdoor chores you might be dreading.
I’m not a big company—it’s just me, some professional gear, and a lot of hustle. I take a ton of pride in making sure the job is done right because I actually care about how our neighborhood looks.

Here’s how I can help you out:

-Pressure Washing: I’ll get your driveway, patio, or sidewalk looking bright and clean again.

-The "Stinky Bin" Fix: I’ll scrub and deodorize your trash cans so they don't smell up the side of your house. ($25 for one or $60 for three).

-Clear Headlights: If your car’s headlights are looking foggy or yellow, I can restore them so they’re crystal clear and much safer for driving at night.

-Helping Hand: Need help moving something heavy, cleaning up the yard, or just a random task? I’m happy to help.

I’m reliable, I show up on time, and I’ll treat your property with respect. If you’ve got a project for me, I’d love to chat!

📩 Shoot me a text or call: 323-337-7154

Hello, my name's Bryan, I'm 34 and recently moved to south Buena Park, and I love basketball but suck at it. I want to play with other people of any skill level who don't mind my complete lack of a jumpshot or endurance. Be that pickup or at a church or just someone's driveway, I'm game. Don't have a car right now but can bike and bus a reasonable distance. So yeah, comment or DM me if you or a group you play with want to shoot some hoops!

p.s.: Go Lakers!

At like 1:25 am, my boyfriend and I saw a flash of blue and green light in the eastern sky. There wasn’t any sound, only a flash of light. Does anyone know what it was because my boyfriend is convinced it’s a UFO.

Noticed a bunch of cars pulled over near the 605N to 91W interchange. What was going on? Looks like people were looking for something, but didn’t seem like a car drove off the road… not sure
