Welcome to Pico Rivera

Welcome to Pico Rivera!
Sitting just 11 miles from Downtown LA, this charming city was Incorporated in 1958 by residents of two neighboring historic communities- Pico and Rivera.
This once agricultural area is now home to a balanced mix of homes, businesses and recreational amenities.
From where to get the best steak dinner 🥩 to where to live and play.
Lets explore it together! 🎟
Each city in Los Angeles is so vibrant and different which is why these videos are neighborhood specific. ✨

Lived on Bonnievale Ave from 1951 to 1962. I was at the opening of Smith Park and also the merger of Pico and Rivera ceremony. Started school at Valencia in 1955. Living close to El Rancho was great too. They always left the gym open in the summer for kids and the sounds of drums and cheering at the football stadium still echo in my mind.

I live in nyc and grew up in Pico, i miss my hometown sometimes and the memories i have of riding my bike thru the riverbed, getting off the 40 bus on beverly blvd and stopping at LUPE'S TACOS on my way home from school or cruising over to the indoor swapmeet with my Pops then swing over to SMITH PARK.

I live here. One end near the 5 is industrial and ghetto, the other end near Whittier is suburban and slowly gentrifying with house costing 800k and up. City government is good and is constantly improving. But shh don’t tell anyone.

I live in here in Pico Rivera

yayay the best!

[@nategz9875]

If you think Pico Rivera is ghetto, then you must have lived a privileged life.

[@krisser92]

Shits active

[@nategz9875]

@@krisser92 again, they must be so privileged that they actually choose to gang bang. In the Texas and the rest of the south, a lot of us live in trailers/RVs, sometimes there ain't running water etc. We work all day, we don't got time to sit on a corner and tag up streets or gang bang. We live real life down here. Califaz foos are spoiled brats.

@@krisser92 it’s not

[@asz9918]

@@krisser92 bruh nothing is active in a 10 mile radius from Pico. That’s why those foos go tag east la all half assed when they’re bored.

[@zerow5677]

Safer than it used to be. The cholos grew up and got kicked out due to gentrification 😂 then the gen z just don't dig gang stuff like they used to because of technology

[@legendarypasos]

This guy talks about Pico Rivera like he's never been there for more than the time it took to shoot this video

[@thomasmanning829]

I was raised on Beverly Rd in Pico. When I was 7 it Incorporated with Rivera. Pico and then Pico Rivera was a good town to grow up in. But beginning in the late 60s, like many parts of LA, it began to decline. Slowly at first. I finally moved out in 1984. Pico is not a safe city to raise kids.

[@cheat123]

. . . during the 80s. . .during the highest rise in crime in US history. . .

[@asz9918]

It’s a great area to raise kids; we don’t need old racist white ppl talk about how good the old days was when you’re the reason jardin existed

[@madsinth]

Lived here my whole life it sucks... want to move. City founded by gang members and cooked sheriffs.

[@Leesaloves]

I grew up in Pico and lived nearby since I got married with regular visits to my childhood home. Take pepper spray, a big walking stick and a guard dog on your family outing.

[@Casualcracker]

Me too

i think you are absolutely right that certain parts might require more vigilance but i think thats the same for most cities in Los Angeles!

[@Leesaloves]

@@EstateofGrace You're absolutely right.

[@asz9918]

Foo swears it’s active; it’s not. Sorry. Active spots nearby are BHR in Boyle heights. Shits dead asf.

[@stunnermane5775]

This video is cap. Lmao pico rivera is like the mexican compton maybe. Alot of gang violance...its nice and has its spots but at night its very active... lots of good food spots like MOST spots in LA.... this guys is trynna make it seem like Huntington beach or brea. Ahhahaa whittier is. A bit nicer then pico.

[@EstateofGrace]

Hi we are sorry you feel that way! We certainly want to shed light on parts the of the city people may not be aware of! Thank you for watching! ☀️

[@MrHimJones]

I have live here my whole life stfu

[@legendarypasos]

@@EstateofGrace you should shed light on the places to avoid and Pico Rivera. Pico Viejo

[@cheat123]

doubt. I've lived in Pico most of my life and honestly its one of the best places I've lived. yea, if you look up crime stats you do see Pico neck and neck with Compton. but that doesn't mean its bad. Pico Rivera is a tight nit community. most people are cool and not very ghetto. the people arent very white washed but theyre not 100% mexican either. the high school was like 98% Hispanic and gangs are a kid thing that middle schoolers and some high schoolers got into. for the most part people in pico are cool and down to earth. theyre just not white. im in la puente right now and ive been to ontario a lot. and i can tell you both those place are far worse than pico.

[@cheat123]

@@legendarypasos yea theres a small part of "pico viejo" that is pretty ghetto. but if that small 10% of the city is what is coloring your view of what the rest of pico is then your lost in your own world. pico isnt as bad as you think.
