Los Angeles sprawls across nearly 500 square miles between the Pacific Ocean and the San Gabriel Mountains, making it one of the few places where you can surf in the morning and hike through chaparral-covered hills by afternoon. Sunshine, open-air farmers markets, and a food scene that pulls from dozens of culinary traditions are a staple of living in the city.

Neighborhoods each have a distinct personality surrounding a particular focus, whether it be culture or nature. Westwood keeps residents close to entertainment at the University of Southern California and the Hammer Museum's rotating art exhibitions. Koreatown is a cultural and food destination, known for authentic restaurants and shops paired with a bustling street energy and nightlife.

The city overflows with iconic landmarks, from natural to man-made. Griffith Park, one of the largest urban parks in the country, offers hiking trails, sweeping skyline views, and the iconic Griffith Observatory.
