The Rebirth of Compton
The Rebirth of Compton, California is here! Well at least I think it is! Many investors have purchased and rehabbed homes in Compton, California, which is referred to as "Hub City" due to it being centrally located to Los Angeles. Compton, like many urban cities, has a bad reputation from a small minority of it's citizens. In the 1980s, the city of Compton became popular in American, and around the world because it was the home town of many hip hop legends and rappers. To name a few, N.W.A., Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, and The Game; Compton was called home to many famous athletes including DeMar DeRozan attended Compton High School, and Tayshaun Prince, Tyson Chandler and Brandon Jennings attended Dominguez High.
Compton's real estate market is rapidly improving with several homes listed close to or above the $300K price point. Compton is a city of rich diversity, and pride. Many middle class families have settled, and continue to migrate to Compton, where they can afford more house for their money. The Rebirth of Compton can be attributed to the City of Compton's Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Homeownership Program that provides eligible applicants with 1% of the amount of the purchase price of a home towards closing costs. Compton also has two new housing developments the Willow Walk Housing Development and the Alameda Court Complex, both developments offer affordable living with modern amenities.
