Carson
Carson sits in the South Bay between the 405, 110, and 91 freeways, anchored by California State University Dominguez Hills and the Dignity Health Sports Park. The city incorporated relatively late (1968), and housing is heavy on 1960s and 1970s tract single-family, a strong layer of planned townhome communities along Avalon Boulevard, and pockets of newer infill near the StubHub Center site and the Boulevards at South Bay development.
