The Silver Lake area of Los Angeles lies to the east of the city and is known as an arty neighborhood that many celebrities call home. From its vibrant arts scene to its restaurants, live music, and other events, Silver Lake consistently meets locals' and visitors' need to have fun.
Though real estate prices are high in this area, many choose to make their homes near the central reservoir (the "silver lake" giving the area its name) and dog park, both popular places for exercise and recreation.
Only five miles from downtown Los Angeles, Silver Lake sits just east of Griffith Park, L.A.'s massive city park that gives residents access to true wilderness in the midst of the city. Silver Lake's central location also makes it easy for locals to get to Hollywood, the San Fernando Valley, Glendale, and the Wilshire District.
