This artsy urban area is situated just outside of Downtown Los Angeles, nestled along the Los Angeles River. With easy access to major interstates like I-5, you can travel to nearby areas in a flash. Just minutes from Downtown Los Angeles, Chinatown, Los Angeles State Historic Park, and Dodger Stadium, there are endless entertainment options in and around Lincoln Heights, California.
This city prides itself on its artsy vibe and strong sense of community. A major twice-a-year weekend event, Brewery Art Walk, is hosted at the world’s largest art complex. The work of local LA artists brings in people from all over and is a staple to the Lincoln Heights community. North Broadway houses many of the city’s best local restaurants and small businesses, many family-owned. Off Lamar Street near the river, be sure to take a tour, sign up for a tasting, or grab some classy cuisine at San Antonio Winery, established in this city for over a century!
Are you a lover of outdoor adventure? A portion of Ernest E. Debs Regional Park resides in the north end of town with sprawling natural areas, barbeque and picnic sites, and miles of hiking trails. Don’t forget about the quaint Lincoln Park, complete with athletic fields, a playground, and open green space! Though rent tends to run high because of its proximity to Downtown LA, apartments, houses, condos, and townhomes are affordable in comparison to nearby cities and neighborhoods.
