Open Houses in Pico Rivera, CA
If I were searching through open houses in Pico Rivera, I’d think of it as two old farm communities, Pico and Rivera, joined into one city in 1958 between the Rio Hondo and the San Gabriel River. I’d sort my list by how close each home sits to the river, the freeway and the parks. The list below refreshes every morning with homes in Pico Rivera that have an open house coming up.

What I’d Look For If I Were Buying in Pico Rivera
If I were buying in Pico Rivera, I’d start with the tenure numbers. About 71% of homes are owner-occupied, well above the metro’s 48%, so I’d expect the list to lean toward detached houses. The Census Bureau puts the median home at 1957, which is in line with the postwar building boom that followed the farmland era, so I’d ask about roofs, plumbing and how much has been remodeled.
I’d also check the school district on each listing. Most of the city is in the El Rancho Unified School District, and a small area is in Montebello Unified, so the address matters.
From My Notes: Pico Rivera in September 2026
When I pulled the list on September 29, 2026, Pico Rivera had a thin week, which is normal for a small city:
- 2 homes had an open house scheduled, with 6 showings in all.
- Asking prices ran from $680K to $750K.
- The median size was about 1,698 square feet.
With only two homes, I’d check back as more get posted before drawing any conclusions.
Pico Rivera Areas I’d Put on My List
The Old Pico Area
Pico, named for Pio Pico, was the northern of the two old communities, and Pio Pico Park is at 4211 Columbia Avenue. The state’s Pio Pico State Historic Park, the adobe home the governor began building around 1848, is in Whittier just west of the 605. I’d check where that city line falls before assuming a home is in Pico Rivera.
The Old Rivera Area
Rivera, from the Spanish word for riverbank, was the southern community. The city’s Rivera Park is at 9530 Shade Lane, with ball fields, batting cages and a community center. I’d want to see how the housing changes moving south toward the I-5.
The Rio Hondo and Whittier Narrows Side
The Pico Rivera Sports Arena stands on the north side of the city and hosts concerts and other events. The city says the federal Whittier Narrows Dam Safety Project will eliminate a critical access road to the arena. I’d ask whether any project work would affect a street near the house.

Getting Around Pico Rivera
The freeway and road picture, as I’d sort it:
- I-605 runs along the city’s eastern edge, and I-5 passes just outside the southern boundary.
- The city says SR 60 is less than two miles to the north.
- Rosemead and Lakewood Boulevard (SR 19) runs through the center of the city.
- There is no Metro Rail or Metrolink station in Pico Rivera. The nearest Metrolink stations are Montebello/Commerce and Norwalk/Santa Fe Springs.
- Metro’s I-605 Corridor Multimodal Improvements project, I-10 to I-105, is in the planning phase with four alternatives under study and no set date for the draft environmental document.
- Caltrans lists its Super 605 pavement work on the stretch from Telegraph Road to I-10 at spring 2024 to early 2030.
The city runs Dial-A-Van and Dial-A-Cab for residents 55 and older and people with disabilities, and it offers discounted Metro bus passes. The average commute is 30.3 minutes, and I’d check the route to my job on a weekday in rush hour before I got serious about a house.
How I’d Plan an Open House Day in Pico Rivera
Across the 6 hosted showings, there is a small pattern:
- Friday, Saturday and Sunday had 2 showings each.
- All 6 started at 11 a.m.
I’d pick one side of the city per outing and check each end time. I’d also give myself extra time near the 605 on a weekend afternoon.
The city is inland, so I’d expect hot summer afternoons and I’d schedule the earliest tours for warm months.
