I’ve lived here since my childhood. There is such a great diversity in this city. Everywhere you go you meet different people from different ethnicities. I’ve learned a lot of different cultures you see in this city. Most popular is the different kinds of foods there are. On every corner you find a restaurant. That’s one of my favorite thing in Los Angeles.
Another thing is how many activities there are to do. I’m a person who likes to spend their time doing outdoor activities. In Los Angeles you can go to the beach, hiking at griffin park, and go rock climbing in a gym. Los Angeles is filled with anything to do. What I would like for there to change is how much homeless there are out on the streets. Almost on every block you see a homeless person. I know poverty is a hard subject to work with. Many good people have tried to help with this problem, but unfortunately it is very difficult. But I would love to see some type of improvement with this problem.

I’ve lived here for three years now and love it! This is a very walkable neighborhood with lots of shops, restaurants and other amenities near by. I know so many of my neighbors and nearly all their dogs! I feel safe at night walking to and from my car or even taking the dog out. This area has a mix of single family homes, small older apartment buildings, and larger newer complexes.
Living in West LA has been a great experience. Everything you need can be walking dictance, restaurants, stores, grocery stores...
You can drive for 15 minutes and be at the Beach in Santa Monica or Venice.
You get the best of everything and if you decide to go to DTLA you can drive or take an uber...The train can also take you but it's a little longer.
It's my favorite are in LA. Safe near UCLA and with lots of things to do!
