Area Guide

Share Guide

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. Despite this, Mount Washington is a nature lover's paradise, filled with pocket parks and wild spots where it's not unusual to see raccoons, possums, and even bobcats from time to time.
