Great atmosphere for young families. Close proximity to the Gold Line and Downtown L.A. Great ethnic diversity. I suppose the only complaint would be lack of affordable housing. We are all not speculative dwellers, some people still simply want an affordable house for shelter!
I was born and raised in South Pas and spent the first 20 years of my life in this town. My Mom, an Irish immigrant, arrived in South Pas in 1916, and my Dad, a native of Kentucky, arrived in 1927. It was a great life for my family to spend all those years in South Pas.
