Located in the Heart of the LA-OC Metropolitan Area

The Cerritos region is located in the heart of the Los Angeles-Orange County metro center, midway between downtown Los Angeles and the business centers of Irvine, Santa Ana and Anaheim.

Because Cerritos and Hawaiian Gardens are virtually the geographic center of the Los Angeles Basin, it has become one of Southern California's premier commercial crossroads. The cities are served directly by the 5, 605, 91, and 105 freeways and are close to the 405 and 710 freeways. Known for its easy access to all modes of transportation, Cerritos is essentially the distribution hub for both Los Angeles and Orange Counties.

The master-planned city of Cerritos lies along the Los Angeles-Orange County line, about 30 driving minutes from both Los Angeles International Airport and the John Wayne Orange County Airport. Cerritos is seven miles from the Long Beach Airport, 10 miles from the Port of Los Angeles, and just a few miles from the Long Beach Harbor, Amtrak, and Metrolink. The 1 square mile city of Hawaiian Gardens is located 3 miles south of Cerritos and is bounded by the Los Angeles County cities of Long Beach and Lakewood, and by the Orange County city of Cypress.
