The Mount Washington neighborhood of Los Angeles combines hipster chic with a no-nonsense vibe. Practical, low-rise apartment buildings sit at the base of the hill, and eclectic single-family homes line the curving, sometimes incredibly steep streets of the hill itself. Mount Washington remains a very residential neighborhood, with a few taco stands and coffee houses to choose from when you want to grab a bite close to home or meet up with your neighbors at cutting-edge lounges like Footsies.

Mount Washington, which many residents consider one of the hidden treasures of L.A., offers astounding views in all directions; a few homes can even catch a glimpse of the ocean. This neighborhood sits equidistant from Hollywood, downtown L.A., Pasadena, and Glendale, so it proves an ideal location for those who want an easy commute to work.
