DTLA - This is City Living

Monday July 1, 2019

Long-time Angelenos, young families, bold artists, and savvy professionals from around the world are flocking to Downtown LA for its culture, convenience, and community.

Over the past five years, DTLA has welcomed over 30 new residential properties and more than 20,000 new people who are now calling DTLA "home." It is one of the hottest areas of residential growth in the region and shows no signs of slowing. The streets are alive with foot traffic, restaurants are busy, rooftop bars are packed, and new businesses are opening across all the neighborhoods.

Living in Downtown LA is officially a "thing."

Comprised of a dozen different neighborhoods each with its own distinct character, DTLA is a dynamic and evolving urban experience dense with opportunity and promise. The power and poise of the Financial District balances the organic creativity of the Arts District. The storied past of the Historic Core complements the new energy of South Park. The Asian cultural centers of Chinatown and Little Tokyo thrive on traditional community while the Fashion District bustles with unique commerce.

And amidst these large districts, connected by main corridors and threaded through side streets, exist smaller neighborhood nooks and niches where you'll find surprises and delights where you least expect. DTLA is a richly varied, thriving urban community that is only truly revealed block-by-block, step-by-step.

Because DTLA is such an intricate, layered environment, it is easy to overlook the subtle dynamism of the area. To reveal these hidden features, we host a three-hour guided Housing Tour that provides an intimate look into DTLA's most popular residences while sharing insider dining, shopping, and transit tips as well as general neighborhood overviews.
