Northwest Los Angeles

Northwest Los Angeles or Northwest of Downtown is a group of neighborhoods near 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.

Silver Lake and Elysian Heights were also artist communities.

But since the 1990s other neighborhoods in this area have experienced substantial gentrification.
