Getting to Know Inglewood

How Inglewood Is Laid Out

Inglewood is its own city in the South Bay region of Los Angeles County, just southwest of downtown LA and only a few miles from LAX. It covers about 9 square miles and holds close to 108,000 people, which makes it one of the more densely built cities in the county. Being its own city, Inglewood sets its own truck-parking, oversized-vehicle, and permit rules, apart from the City of Los Angeles. The 405, 105, and 110 freeways all serve the city, giving it strong regional access in every direction.

The city is a mix of old and brand new. The Hollywood Park development on the south side, anchored by SoFi Stadium and the Kia Forum, has added the Intuit Dome, new housing, offices, and the Village at Century shopping area. Downtown Inglewood, around Market Street and Manchester Boulevard, is the older commercial core, with the new K Line Metro running through. Established residential neighborhoods spread across the rest of the city, along with gated communities like Carlton Square, Briarwood Village, and The Renaissance. Hawthorne lies to the south, Lennox and Westchester are nearby, and Los Angeles wraps around the north and east.

From Rancho to the City of Champions

The land was home to the Tongva people, who used the natural spring known as the Aguaje de Centinela, before it became part of the Mexican Rancho Sausal Redondo and Rancho Aguaje de la Centinela. The 1834 Centinela Adobe from that ranch era still stands. The modern town grew up after a railway reached the area in 1887, and Inglewood incorporated as a city in 1908, taking its name from an earlier settler’s hometown.

For much of the twentieth century, Inglewood grew as a residential and aerospace city, with the nearby aircraft plants and LAX driving its economy. The Forum opened in 1967 and made Inglewood famous as the “City of Champions.” It was home to the Lakers and Kings for over three decades. After the teams left in 1999, the city worked to bring big venues back. It succeeded on a grand scale. The Forum was renovated, SoFi Stadium opened in 2020, and the Intuit Dome opened in 2024. Inglewood is now set to host events for the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Olympics, a remarkable turn for a city that has reinvented itself around the games.

What an Inglewood Move Really Involves

Inglewood runs its own affairs, so the rules that shape a move come from the city, not from Los Angeles. For larger moves, the city issues temporary no-parking permits that hold curb space at the address, and these have to be arranged and posted in advance. A few streets restrict large trucks, so the vehicle has to fit on the street.

The event calendar is the local factor that sets Inglewood apart. On days with a game, concert, or show at SoFi, the Intuit Dome, or the Forum, traffic and street closures around the venues can be heavy. We check the schedule and plan the route and timing to avoid the worst of it. A move near Hollywood Park on a quiet weekday is easy; the same move on game day needs planning.

The buildings set the rest. The new apartments and condos around the venues run elevator reservations, loading-dock windows, and certificate-of-insurance rules through building management. Older apartments near downtown bring stairs and tighter parking. Gated communities want access arranged in advance. We line up the permits, the building access, the event-day timing, and the right truck before the day, so nothing holds up the move once we arrive.
