Nicknamed the “Brooklyn of Los Angeles,” Silver Lake has transformed into one of LA’s trendiest locales. The historic city was once home to Walt Disney’s first large studio and has made several appearances on film and TV, including A Star is Born, Fear the Walking Dead, and Bates Motel. Although any renter can enjoy Silver Lake, the city is seen as an enclave for creatives, entertainment industry professionals, and celebrities. Kristen Wiig, Donald Glover, and James Franco are a few of the many stars that have lived in Silver Lake.
Along with its historic roots in Hollywood, Silver Lake is known for its bohemian vibe. Along Sunset Boulevard you’ll find trendy bars, art galleries, authentic restaurants, industrial-chic coffeeshops, and indie music venues. Along with special events, Sunset Triangle Plaza hosts a weekly farmers market. Locals also enjoy being near some of LA’s staple entertainment hubs like Dodger Stadium, Griffith Park, and the Hollywood Bowl, which are all under six miles away. Other popular areas like Downtown LA and Hollywood are convenient to Silver Lake as well.
Complemented by colorful murals, palm trees, and rolling hills, Silver Lake has a variety of available rentals. Although Silver Lake is known as an upscale location, there are some affordable hidden gems that are much cheaper compared to other LA cities. Rentals include brightly colored townhomes, luxury apartments, Mediterranean-style houses, and chic condos. Some rentals even provide a view of the Silver Lake Reservoir, the area’s namesake body of water.
