Echo Park's Metropolitan Water District Apartments Back On
not mentioned is what the owners plan to do with the hideous addition ( church?) on the sunset blvd elevation? strangely this building tumor is near identical to LACMA’s much maligned wilshire blvd street elevation, does pereira attract these types of appendages to his designs?
neighborhood is a ghost town, an isthmus of sorts between angelino heights and china town, the complex is a great campus, with stellar downtown views, i wish them success.
CurbedWire: Ken Shapiro Great Deal Alert, A/cute Tokyo
Let’s leave the preservation and design nazis in Angelino Heights. HPOZ’s and the like are nightmarish. I don’t want to have to run it by my neighbors whenever I want to change a window or re-roof a different color. I’ll tolerate an occasional indignity of some yahoo owner/developer building something not quite to my preference over losing my rights as a property owner. If I wanted conformity that badly, then I’d move to Irvine.
Sunset Blvd. in Echo Park Getting Park, Big Chess Board Thingy
"Hitching posts/bollards mark the street corner and recall Victorian-era of horse & carriage," according to the rendering….." But why do we want to recall the Victorian-Era? Maybe at the entrance to Angelino Heights. But what’s the rational here?
Also whereever we "stamp" the pavement it just looks stupid. How about planting trees instead and using the money saved not stamping hideous designs, to go toward landscape maintenance.

@guest (#24): I’m refering to the curb appeal…it looks like a small bungalow that you find in various marginal Los Angles neighborhoods that now go for low 200k…even if the property is much bigger it still retains that curb appeal. If I’m paying that price in Angelino Heights at least have some spectacular victorian or craftsman look. This property has the curb appeal of something in a rough area of Boyle Heights. …Not that there’s anything wrong with Boyle Heights.
Cunning Craftsman in Echo Park’s historic Angelino Heights seeks $1.2M
Angelino Heights is actually a pretty cool neighborhood, although this house is on its outer edge and, as others have pointed out, is about one hundred feet from the 101 and all of the pollution. Sadly, Echo Park Lake has gone downhill in the last year too. Homeless tents have been allowed to take over large portions of the park because of the Ninth Circuit’s disastrous City of Boise decision. Previously, the City cleaned up and spent money improving the Lake and surrounding park, which had become a much-needed spot for nearby families and kids, joggers, old folks, etc.
Bermuda Triangle of Trader Joe's in Mid City West?
@guest #28: Trader Joe’s is as much competition for the Farmers Market as a gas station is to an airport. Besides, having Whole Foods across the street hasn’t hurt the Farmers Market.
It’s good to see the Trader Joe’s folks are making sure that white folks in Southern California don’t have to travel more than a mile or two to find a Trader Joe’s. After all, the Westside has been historically underserved by tony grocery stores selling organic food and competitively-priced wine. Areas like Angelino Heights, West Adams, City Terrace, Lincoln Heights, Westlake, Koreatown, Baldwin Hills, Pico-Union, University Park, Boyle Heights, Inglewood, Arlington Heights, and, of course, Downtown are overwhelmed by stores that are convenient to residents, selling high-quality healthy food at affordable prices. It’s about time residents in blighted areas like Park La Brea and Beverly Center have opportunities to buy decent food, too.
