The city of Norwalk is a rapidly developing community located only 17 miles southeast of Los Angeles.

Norwalk assisted living residents will enjoy superb weather in a city that is reported to have 265 days of sunshine per year. Due to the moderating effect of the ocean, temperatures are also cooler and more pleasant in Norwalk than in the more inland areas of Los Angeles.
