About The Gardena Community
Gardena is a city in the South Bay region of Los Angeles County, incorporated in 1930 and nicknamed the "Freeway City" for its position at the crossroads of the 91, 110, and 405 freeways. For decades it held the distinction of having the highest percentage of Japanese Americans of any place in California, and that heritage still shapes the city's community centers, gardens, and cultural events today. Gardena covers about 5.9 square miles and is home to roughly 61,000 residents across ZIP codes 90247 through 90249.
The city sits just northwest of Long Beach, bordered by Torrance, Carson, and Compton, giving Gardena families easy freeway access to our Long Beach Blvd location via the I-405. It's a tight-knit, family-oriented community, and we understand the cultural and religious traditions that matter to the families who call it home.
