You may have heard the whispers that Echo Park is one of the hippest Los Angeles neighborhoods. Well in fact, it is – as it has many trendy bars and nightclubs to prove it.

The Echo Park community boasts more than just nightlife, though. It also boasts countless musicians, artists, actors, and families. A stone’s throw from LA’s Chinatown neighborhood, this densely populated area incorporates a number of attractions including Echo Park Lake, Dodger Stadium, and Angelino Heights.

What is it like living in Echo Park? The locals regard Echo Park as the epicenter of cool indie music and art scene. A patchwork of trendy eateries, rollicking rock bands, cocktail lounges, street murals, and hip vinyl shops make this neighborhood the epitome of “cool.” Residents enjoy the paddleboats on the lake, and the park is also the host of the annual July 4th Fireworks show.

Angelino Heights is a local gem with numerous Victorian era homes.
