Reader comments on life in Vermont Vista
One of the comments mentioned the ocean breezes. I grew up on 122nd Street (Athens area) and now live on 110th Street btwn Hoover and Vermont. Still feel the ocean breezes, particularly on the transition from the 105 to the 110 freeway. My neighbors are wonderful people and I love my neighborhood (classic traditional homes, jacaranda trees, bay windows). I just wish we could get our local public servants to devote the same resources to keeping our community safe and beautiful as in the west and beach areas.
The north, west, and east boundries are correct for this neighborhood, but the south is wrong. The south border is Century Blvd.There is another neighborhood south of Century Blvd. called "Magnolia Square", which it is bordered by Vermont Blvd. on the west and I-110 freeway on the east and Imperial Hywy on the south and of course Century Blvd. on the north.
