School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.

Superior 55+ Community in Hillcrest close to Ralphs

My mother lived here in her final yr. very nice area, Essex St. just South of University Ave. between Park Blvd. and 163 Freeway. All Flat, easily walkable. As I said above close to Ralph's but also close to Whole Foods, many resturants, banks... Major bus lines are there within short city blocks. Apartment itself is 500 sq. ft. nice for a one bedroom with small but workable kitchen, walk-in closet in bedroom, wall A/C, small balcony or patio. The 2 bedroom has 2 baths and pretty large at 800 sq.ft. same small but workable kitchen, A/C, no balcony. Some underground parking and some surface parking, elevator, on-site laundry. When I retire I hope to move in there.
