Districts

[edit]

These districts are a part of the city of Los Angeles. See also Los Angeles County for destinations in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

 Downtown
The central business district and home to the Grand Avenue cultural corridor. The advent of the automobile and freeways led to the neighborhood's slow decline, but it has seen a booming revival in recent years, led by new residential buildings, with trendy hotels, bars, shops and restaurants.
 Eastside
The areas of Los Angeles east of the L.A. River, including the traditionally Latino areas of the city and the historic areas around the Arroyo Seco.
 Harbor Area
Home of the largest sea port in the US and the launching point for trips to Catalina Island.
 Hollywood
The place where movies are made. It has received quite a makeover in recent years, sparked by the construction of Hollywood & Highland and the return of the Academy Awards.
 Northwest
A funkier area north of downtown and east of Hollywood that is rapidly gentrifying.
 San Fernando Valley
The northern suburban portion of Los Angeles, lying in a valley northwest of downtown, containing various districts.
 South Central
It's long had a reputation for gang violence and it is famed for the Rodney King riots. But while it remains off most peoples radar, there are things to see, such as the museums of Exposition Park, as the area slowly attempts to repair its bruised image. Also the location of the traditionally African-American portions of the city.
 Westside
Generally more affluent corridor within the city limits that lies between downtown Los Angeles and the ocean.
 Wilshire
Home of the historic architecture of the Miracle Mile District, the Farmer's Market and The Grove shopping areas, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CBS Television City, and the famous La Brea Tar Pits.
