Koreatown
Suits someone who wants the densest part of the city, round-the-clock barbecue and spas, Deco towers, and a three-minute walk to Wilshire/Western station.
🇺🇸 Where to live in Los Angeles
Los Angeles residential areas range from dense, tower-and-storefront districts like Koreatown and Downtown to hillside and village-scale pockets such as Los Feliz and Silver Lake. Several areas sit within a few minutes' walk of a rapid-transit station, while others, including Venice and West Hollywood, are defined more by their own walkable commercial strips. The coast, the studio districts and the Eastside each carry a distinctly different daily rhythm.
