A historic neighborhood ripe for the renting

Up-and-coming Historic Diverse Walkable

MacArthur Park was billed as Los Angeles’ version of New York’s Central Park when it was under construction. Today it has become much more than the green grass and lake that comprise it. The park and the 2.72 mile area that surrounds it — also called Westlake — is one of LA’s most historic neighborhoods.

Victorian homes and apartment complexes characterize the area, but newer developments are going up quickly. On the east side of the park is where you’ll find an eclectic mix of bars and restaurants. Big-box stores will take care of most of your retail needs, while entertainment lovers will appreciate the Staples Center residing just across the 110.

The park is obviously the biggest calling card of the neighborhood, and it has become increasingly well-maintained over the last few years. Enjoy a picnic near the lake and the expansive view of the LA skyline in this up-and-coming locale.
