Curbed Comparisons: What $2,150 rents you in LA right now
Asking $2050-2250 for these 1 bedrooms (yes I know the Atwater Village is 2BR and the "Adams-Normandie"/West Adams/South Central is a house)? Wow, I need to raise my prices.
Three-bedroom Spanish bungalow seeks $799K in Atwater Village
I don’t get the attraction of Atwater Village other than the restaurants and shops on Los Feliz. The residential areas have mostly small lots on narrow streets with limited parking. Meh.
It’s a "Hot Home" on Redfin, so no doubt there are many buyers who disagree.
'Super Cute' First-Timer's Dream: Next to Meth Lab!
As a resident of Atwater Village, my biggest concern is that I have to find another meth connection! Maybe I can ask Fergie since the Black Eyed Peas recording studio is around the corner from the lab. My favorite part of the description is that this is "prime" Atwater. I don’t see any meth labs being busted up on the not-so-prime side of Glendale Blvd.
Ask Curbed: Help a Canadian With the Grove vs. Atwater Village
I’m going to assume that they mean the Fairfax district, which is far more than just the Grove. Fairfax is a fantastic place, very urban and walkable. Atwater Village is more bungalows, less apartment buildings, and the commercial streets are wider and less easily traversed. Atwater has easier access to Griffith Park, certainly. Crime-wise, I’d say they’re both about comperable. Really, you’re going to want to come here and check them out yourselves.
The Atwater Village Rascals 13 (TRS13) originated in the late 70s. The gang was formed by latinos in the central and southern part of atwater village , Thats from Loz Feliz down south past Fletcher dr. to Carillon St. The rivalry between Rascals and Toonerville started back in the early 80s when Timothy McGee wanted to join The Rascals gang. They did not grant him membership so he joined the gang to the north of atwater/glendale named Toonerville.
After a few years of being enemies and couple of members from Toonerville were murdered, Toonerville gang members wanted peace in the early 90s with The Rascals , they rejected that peace witch is why where living through this war between to gangs.
Rumblings & Bumblings Responses: Echo Park Pool Opening, Atwater Park News, and More!
Behind the park is a great path that follows the river, full of Atwater Villagers running and walking their dogs. It, along with the rest of beautiful Atwater Village, is one of the best kept secrets in LA."
First, you have to pass all the homeless people along the river and have to deal with the Frogtown, Toonerville, and Rascals Gangs. The river? Get real, contaminated water…
I have lived in Silver Lake for over 15 years and have watched it evolve into the vital, vibrant neighborhood that it has become. I do miss a few of the older establishments, but in general, it has done nothing but improve. Atwater Village has gentrified in a similar way, but I don’t need Atwater (or Echo Park) when I have Silver Lake just outside my door.
I guess everyone in Hollywood, Santa Monica and the Historic Core were out taking advantage of all that their neighborhoods have to offer, rather than sitting indoors deleting cookies, refreshing the page, voting 300 times each for hours.
Curbed, if you’re going to run polls like this again, you need to use a better system. Obviously in real life Atwater Village would never win against any of those 3. I would love to see you poll 100 angelenos and see which they’d choose. Atwater HAS to cheat because they’d have no chance otherwise.
Now that they’ve been called out in the comments for being pathetic losers, they’re trying to backtrack and claim that Atwater is just so beloved that hundreds of people came online to vote for them today. Meanwhile the South Park vs Silver Lake poll has been up longer and only has 680 votes to this poll’s 1025. Even then, Atwater is only just eeking out a win (despite people who admittedly voted hundred of times each—you’d expect a landslide).
If you’ve never been to atwater village, pull up googlemaps and walk around in street view. See what I mean?
