Northwest Los Angeles orNorthwest of Downtown is a group of neighborhoods near the central area ofLos Angeles,California that are north and west of the city center ofLos Angeles,California. This name for the area has been in use off and on for over 100 years,[1][2] originally applying toAngelino Heights and gradually shifting northwesterly as those areas were built out.
Typically, the names of the individual neighborhoods are used rather than the collective term "Northwest Los Angeles." It is home to the biggestpublic parks in the City and offers multiple recreational opportunities.
Los Feliz and parts ofSilver Lake have always been expensive and home toHollywoodcelebrities (and originally, some of the Hollywood studios themselves). Silver Lake and Elysian Heights were also artist communities. But since the 1990s other neighborhoods in this area have experienced substantialgentrification. This has gradually displaced various immigrant and poor communities.[3]
Most of the neighborhoods are represented by CouncilmanHugo Soto-Martinez, but some are represented byNithya Raman orEunisses Hernandez and other councilmembers.
