While North Inglewood’s charming avenues played stunt double for the Midwest backdrop of Wayne’s World, much of the city’s residual grittiness reflects the loss of its adored Lakers to the Staples Center. But if Laker Magic Johnson has his way, Inglewood will be just fine. Johnson gets the assist for bringing a burst of commercial energy to the area. Inglewood houses for sale offer the California lifestyle for a great price. Grabbing a selection from Randy’s Donuts before you hop on your plane at LAX is the best way to show whoever you’re visiting that you care (about tasty breakfast sweets).

Residential areas in Morningside Park, one of Inglewood’s nine neighborhoods, are bisected by commercial throughways filled with shopping centers anchored by big-box retailers like Costco. That said, mini-malls still make room for the local mom-and-pop businesses. Points of interest include The Forum and Madison Street. Currently, the City of Champions Stadium is under construction in the city and when completed around 2019 will be the new home of the Los Angeles Rams.
