Open Houses in Bellflower, CA
If I were searching through open houses in Bellflower, I’d plan around Bellflower Boulevard, the old main street that the neighborhoods on either side grew up around. The list below refreshes every morning with homes in Bellflower that have an open house coming up.

What I’d Look For If I Were Buying in Bellflower
If I were buying in Bellflower, I’d pay attention to how much the city grew in a short time. Its population went from about 11,000 to 44,000 in the 1940s, according to the city’s own history, and the Census median year built is 1966. That points to a mix of postwar houses and later buildings, so I’d check the year built on each listing and ask what has been replaced.
Only about 39% of homes are owner-occupied, compared with 48% across the metro area. The city history also mentions apartments built on narrow, deep lots as the population grew, so I’d expect condos, townhomes and small multi-unit properties in the list, and I’d read the property type carefully.
From My Notes: Bellflower in September 2026
When I pulled the list on September 29, 2026, Bellflower had only 2 homes with an open house scheduled, which is a thin week:
- The 2 homes had 4 showings between them.
- They were asking about $839K and $1.07M.
- One had 2 bedrooms and the other had 3, and the median size was about 1,490 square feet.
With two homes, I’d read the prices as two data points and not a trend.
Areas I’d Put on My List in Bellflower
Bellflower Boulevard and the Old Somerset Area
Bellflower began as Somerset. The Pacific Electric line opened in November 1905, and the main road, Somerset Avenue, is today’s Bellflower Boulevard. The city says the business district on the boulevard spread beyond Artesia Boulevard after the war. I’d look at how close a home is to the boulevard and ask about traffic noise, since it is the city’s main street.
Around Simms Park
The land for Bellflower Park was bought in 1942 and run by the county until 1959, when the city took it over. It was renamed John S. Simms Park in 1946. I’d check how far a listing is from the park and what the streets around it feel like on a weekend.
Clark Street and the Postwar Blocks
The city says Clark Street became a major shopping street in the 1950s. Bellflower Unified School District was formed in 1956, and the city incorporated in 1957. With a Census median year built of 1966, I’d ask about updated electrical, plumbing and roofing on any home from these decades.

Getting Around Bellflower
SR 91, the Artesia Freeway, runs through the city. The I-605 and the I-105 are each a short distance outside its boundary, so I’d call them nearby. Dated items I’d keep in mind:
- There is no rail in Bellflower today. Metro’s Southeast Gateway Line is planned to include a Bellflower Boulevard station and the line’s maintenance and storage facility in the city, and Metro lists the project as in design with completion estimated for 2035.
- Construction on I-105 ExpressLanes Segment 3, from the I-710 to Studebaker Road, began in September 2026 and is expected to finish in 2029. It ends at the I-605 just north of the city.
Local bus service comes from Bellflower Bus, LA Metro and Long Beach Transit. The city’s average commute is 29.4 minutes, about the same as the metro figure of 29.5, and I’d still test the drive at rush hour.
How I’d Plan an Open House Day in Bellflower
There were too few showings on September 29, 2026 to see a day or start-time pattern yet.
I’d plan a loop off Bellflower Boulevard, keep stops close together, and check each end time before driving to the next one.
I’d check the forecast before a summer day of touring and bring water, since a few open houses back to back adds up.
