About Casa La Merced

Casa La Merced is a 130-unit, five story midrise apartment community in Montebello, CA, near East Los Angeles. The property is the premier Section-8 community in the area with easy access to a range of local shops and other amenities. The community sits just adjacent to the shops at Montebello’s Downtown Plaza. This 100,000-square foot shopping center offers convenient access to banks, restaurants, a grocery store and other shopping outlets. At the same time, while all of this commercial activity abounds to the West, the Eastern courtyard at Casa La Merced is sequestered from the noise of N. Montebello St. and faces a quieter residential district where residents can relax. Casa La Merced is a HUD subsidized, Independent Senior Living community; and we are pleased to offer our resident seniors with an affordable, secure, and comfortable living environment. We offer on-site laundry, off-street parking, a resident lounge, game room and library, kitchen, and a number of other community-based amenities.

Casa La Merced is an apartment community located in Los Angeles County and the 90640 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Montebello Unified School District attendance zone.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
