Lakewood Branch

Lakewood, CA, Personal and Business Credit Union

Lakewood was built with a purpose. In 1950, developers broke ground on 3,500 acres of bean fields and built an entire city complete with parks, schools, and one of the first major post-war shopping centers in the country. They called it "Tomorrow's City Today," and the families who have lived here ever since have made good on that promise. Lakewood remains one of the most civic-minded, family-rooted communities in Los Angeles County.

CommunityAmerica is a not-for-profit credit union, which means we answer to our members rather than external shareholders. That keeps rates competitive, fees low, and our sights on what matters most. Our bank in Lakewood, CA, is located on Candlewood Street near Lakewood Center, making us a convenient choice whether you're a student, a business owner, or a longtime homeowner.

Home Equity Loans and Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC)

Lakewood homes don't turn over often, and those who have held on have built up real equity in one of L.A. County's most stable markets. Our home equity loans and home equity lines of credit (HELOC) give you access to that value at competitive rates with the power to use it for renovations, debt consolidation, or other major expenses. Talk to the team at our Candlewood Street bank branch in Lakewood to find out what’s possible.
