| El Segundo is known as the business friendly city next to Los
Angeles International Airport. It is cleaning up its act and becoming
the high-rise mecca for corporations seeking a close location to
airports and business centers.
El Segundo, part of
Los Angeles South Bay area, has a beach, LAX on its
perimeter, and a business friendly approach to growth. Long
known for its pipes, the tall painted stacks at the beach
that are part of operations such as Hyperion Sewage
Treatment Plant and Chevron Oil Refinery, the city is
growing and going vertical. In addition to the Department of
Water Power Steam Plant, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon,
The Aerospace Corporation, Mattel, and a host of major
corporations, over 16,000 residents call El Segundo home.
Once the aerospace capital of the
world, times have changed and so has El Segundo. A more diverse mix of
businesses fill the landscape. For tourists, El Segundo is actually a
pretty nice place to book hotels when you have an early morning flight
leaving nearby. The trip to the airport is only five minutes.
What we like about El Segundo is
its beach at the bottom of a hill next to Hermosa Beach and Dockweiler
Beach. Connected to a 22-mile South Bay Bicycle Trail, bicycling,
jogging, roller blading and walking are all extremely popular all day
long, it seems. Next to El Segundo Beach is an RV Park at Dockweiler
Beach. El Segundo is centrally located between the beaches such as
Redondo, Hermosa, Manhattan Beach and Marina del Rey, Playa del Rey,
Venice Beach and Santa Monica. It is also close to 405 Freeway, offering
easy access to the roads that will get you around L.A. and its
attractions.
