As one of Los Angeles’ most diverse, lively neighborhoods, Westlake boasts the perfect blend of residential and commercial in Southern California. With elegant mansions turned apartment buildings, older residential buildings, and newer developments on the rise, Westlake offers a variety of options for renters looking to live near Downtown LA.
MacArthur Park is the neighborhood’s shining light, made up of four square blocks in the middle of the city, featuring a large lake and paved walking trails overlooking the LA skyline. Hospitals, restaurants, supermarkets, retailers, and live music venues line the streets of this urban neighborhood.
Visit the famous Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant, a longstanding deli just outside of the park. If you plan to use public transportation, don’t fret—there are numerous bus stations and subway routes in this neighborhood. In fact, right outside of the park, just hop onto the subway at Westlake/MacArthur Park Station to travel straight to Union Station, located on the edge of Chinatown just northeast of Downtown LA!
