An up-and-coming neighborhood with space exploration credentials.
Hawthorne is a diverse, middle-class community that is seeing an influx of young professionals and families who are priced out of the more expensive neighborhoods closer to the beaches. Thanks to its proximity to the international airport and its own municipal airport, both Northrup Grumman and SpaceX have offices here.
Most of the property for sale consists of modest, single-story homes. There are plenty of affordable apartment for rent here.
Hawthorne is bordered on the north by Inglewood, on the east by Athens and Gardena, on the south by Lawndale and Alondra Park, and on the west by El Segundo.

Hawthorne LOCAL schools
Hawthorne Local Flavor 
They use only the freshest ingredients, often organic-grown, to bring you the bold flavors that tantalize your tongue. Expect only the highest quality specialty meats, fresh fish & seafood and premium Mexican avocados to adorn your plate.
They specialize in catering and we believe that one thing that people always remember from parties is the food that was served. Alwatan Restaurant is committed in excellent service that appeals the hearts of community.
They have a deep selection of craft beers to pair with its sports-bar food and the bracket-busting NCAA Tournament games on its TVs, is open in Hawthorne.
