I care about Carson, California

 19207 Hillford Avenue, Carson, CA  90746

 OPEN HOUSE THIS SUNDAY MAY 27, 2012

12 PM TO 3PM

I care about Carson, California and I encourage any home buyer that is seeking a home in the South Bay area to get to know Carson, California!    I am hosting a Open House in Carson, California this weekend on Sunday, May 27, at 19207 Hillford Avenue, Carson, CA 90746 from 12 noon - 3pm.   Carson remains a affordable family community that is freeway accessible and within minutes of LAX, Downtown Los Angeles and Long Beach, California. 

Here are just a few highlights about Carson:  Home of California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH). CSUDH was established in the wake of the 1965 Watts riots, as a response to community outcry over the lack of higher education opportunities.   Today CSUDH is among the most racially diverse campuses in the United States. Prior to expansion in the mid 1960s, the university was located in nearby Palos Verdes. In 1965, Carson was chosen as the home for the relocating university over other nearby communities. 

Carson is also home to the Home Depot Center which is the home of the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team; in July 2007, the Galaxy signed international soccer superstar David Beckham to the team..  The Home Depot Center is used by the Los Angeles Galaxy, the Los Angeles Sol, and as of 2005, Chivas USA, a tennis stadium and a track and field facility.

The Goodyear Blimp also has a landing pad in Carson, a fitting tribute to the 1st and 2nd U.S. and International Aviation Meets held at the Dominguez Hill Rancho in 1910 and 1911, which featured many blimps and zeppelins. The International Printing Museum, which has one of the largest collections of antique printing presses in the United States, is located in Carson.

It Never Rains in Sunny California

It never rains sunny California, right?  I couldn't beleive the Weather Channel reported that it was going to rain on the day I had planned my Open House! I had fully executed my marketing plan. I created a You Tube video, posted on my Facebook account, circulated flyers in the neighborhood advertising the Open House.  I couldn't cancel.  Rain or shine, I would be there, in the event one lone buyer chose to come and see this beautiful property.  I was extremely pleased to have a few motivated buyers come and view the property.   One who is now the proud owner of the lovely Wrigley area home!

In between guests, I had time to think about the "Pro's" of hosting an Open House and going to an Open House in the rain.  Here are some that came to mind, that cold rainy day:

1. You can see first hand if there are drainage of flooding issues;
2. You may notice potential leaks in the roof;
3. The heating system can be tested to see if operable;
4. Visible moisture around window seals and door frames;
5. If you are a Realtor, you will find yourself pleasantly surprised when you speak with the guests of the Open House and find out what motivates them to be house seeking in the rain!

Below is the video that was produced for the Open House.  Please keep me in mind for all your real estate needs.  Call me today to find out how I can help you find the home of your dreams....rain or Shine!  Lanise (562) 544-9491.

LACMA Roc's journey through Long Beach

Solid as a Rock!  The LACMA ROCK journey through Long Beach

The LACMA Rock is the name that has been given the 340 ton, two story granite boulder, that is travelling from Riverside County, to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art has drawn quite the Long Beach fan following.  On Wednesday, March 7, 2012, in Bixby Knolls being a community within Long Beach, that is known as a center for the arts, wanted to celebrate the LACMA Rock.  The Bixby Knolls party started at noon, and by 4:00pm reportedly had more than 20,000 party goers!  Bixby Knolls partiers purchased T-shirts that read “Bixby Knolls Got Rocked,” local artists painted versions of the boulder and a local Long Beach DJ played songs that contained the word “rock” in them (including, the Queen anthem “We Will Rock You.”)

If you are an Artist, aspiring Artist or a person that wants to live in an eclectic community that celebrates the arts, Bixby Knolls may be the perfect “small city”, in a bigger city for you!  The majority of the homes in Bixby Knolls were custom-built between 1920 and 1940, providing this community with a diverse home architecture.   Bixby Knolls has several trendy small shops and restaurants dot a strip of Atlantic Ave. South of San Antonio and North of the 405 Freeway, as well as on the streets surrounding this main thoroughfare. The neighborhood is also serviced by several grocery stores and shopping centers in the local area.  The Richard Goad Theater, home to the Long Beach Shakespeare Company, and the Historical Society of Long Beach, are housed on Atlantic Ave, just north of Carson Street. Regular community events,  weekly strolls, dining and literary clubs are favorites of the locals. On the west side of the neighborhood, adjacent to the Los Angeles River, is the large Virginia Country Club, which is also the location of the Rancho Los Cerritos historic site.  Bixby Knolls can add one more feature to its list, it will always be known for, and the community will always remember the LACMA Rock journeyed through it’s small town!
