About Whittier

Whittier is a historic city founded by Quakers, with a charming, walkable Uptown village of preserved early-1900s storefronts. The Whittier Greenway Trail, Central Park, Penn Park and the trails of the Puente Hills give it abundant free outdoor space.

Friendly and tree-lined, it pairs small-town character with the wide-open Hellman and Puente Hills preserves on its northern edge.
