Park Village, Compton (Inglewood, Lakewood, Davis: apartments, rent, home)

[Gooser]

Sometime last week I asked about living in the Jungle. Well I've come to realize its not really the area for me lol. I continued searching for apartments and another area I am considering is "Park Village" in Compton. It is around Wilmington&Alondra, this is very close to CSU-Dominiguez which is where I will need to be. Rent is cheap and the apartments are nice/large. Once again I realize this area does have gangs, which does not bother me.
Any recommendations?

This actually is very close to where I live. Yes the immediate area is nice, looks almost like the suburbs as opposed to compton, but dont let this fool you there are tonnnnes of gangs around. This hood is home of the Park Village Compton Crips. But its not the only gang around, directly west are the Original Block Piru, northwest is the Magnolia Blocc Compton Crips, directly north are both Palmer Blocc Compton Crips and Cedar Block Piru(the hood I live in), east is Acaccia Blocc Compton Crips, southeast is Spooktown Compton Crip, directly south is Farm Dog Compton Crips, and finally, southwest is home to one of compton's largest gangs, Nutty Blocc Compton Crips. As you can see, this hood is gang infested and there is usually at least a murder per week within a 5 mile radius. I wouldnt really recommend this no matter how cheap or nice the area is because chances are you last too long, especially if youre white. To tell you the truth I wouldnt recommend anywhere in Compton, Watts, or even Inglewood to someone like you.

if you already know what compton is like and don't care, what do you want from us? i don't think anyone is going to tell you that it's a wonderful idea for a CSUDH student from out of state to live in compton for the cheap rent, but, then again, i didn't think anyone here would endorse the jungle "as long as you keep your head down," either.

Yup I live in the Bity of Bompton, Cedar Block/Tree Top turf. Im not gonna tell you what street I live on but I'll just say I went to both Dickison Elementary and Davis Middle School, which are both within a couple blocks of my house.
And yeah The Game "claims" Cedar Block but I dont even think Ive ever seen him around(since I knew who he was anyway, I probly saw him around the hood before he made it big). Ive met his brother Big Fase, who is a legit Piru. I hang with alot of the CBP and TTP so ive actually met quite a few hood celebs lol.

never heard about it. a new crip gang?

park village is mostly black and few samoans around. corregidor street is the wrong place for a white student.

There are so many other locales around Cal State Dominguez Hills that one has to wonder why you totally are honing in on Compton. Many other affordable options exist. This goes beyond stubbornness and possibly borders into masochism. Posters here have tried to educate you honestly and realistically.

If you are studying or working at CSDH, you could rent something in Lakewood, for instance: same distance as your fixated Compton. You say gangs do not bother you. This is naive, even if you're a 6'6" muscle-bound male. Gangs will be bothered by you, and react accordingly. They are not the brightest demographic. . .

No theyve been around but theyre very inactive now-a-days. I think theyre pretty much extinct now to tell you the truth, i only included them in the list because it makes the area seem rougher and less appealing to someone who shouldnt even be considering moving here in the first place.
By the way, I see your name is "treyLOCC", are you a compton crip? If so, what set you roll with?
