Northwest Los Angeles or Northwest of Downtown is a term for several neighborhoods in the central area of Los Angeles, California that are north and west of the city center of Los Angeles, California.
Typically, the names of the individual neighborhoods are used rather than the collective term "Northwest Los Angeles." It is home to the biggest public parks in the City and offers multiple recreational opportunities.
Los Feliz and parts of Silverlake have always been expensive and home to Hollywood celebrities. But since the 1990s other neighborhoods in this area have experienced substantial gentrification. This has gradually displaced various immigrant and poor communities.[1]
Most of the neighborhoods are represented by Councilman Mitch O'Farrell, but some are represented by Tom LaBonge or Ed Reyes and other councilmen.
The following are neighborhoods in Northwest Los Angeles:
- Angelino Heights
- Echo Park
- Elysian Heights
- Elysian Park
- Elysian Valley
- Historic Filipinotown
- Los Feliz
- Silver Lake
- Solano Canyon
- Sunset Junction
- Westlake
