Downey is a great place to live with plenty of affordable housing, exceptional schools and all the amenities you would expect in small-town America. It is quite possibly one of the best places to live considering its size, with a population of only about 14,000, and the lowest crime rate in all of California for cities over 10,000 residents. Even though it's just an hour outside Los Angeles proper, Downey has retained that small town feel with tree lined streets perfect for walking your dog or taking leisurely strolls through on bike paths alongside gorgeous homes near parks for playing catch or enjoying summer BBQs at sunset under lemon trees laden with fruit like you're not even living within commuting distance from Southern Californian hustle bustle!
