We Love Downtown Los Angeles
 
Downtown Los Angeles has really turned around in the last few years. Once just the central hub of commerce, only alive during office hours, downtown has started to develop a unique residential identity. Thanks to the artists, entrepreneurs, and community residents, downtown has turned from a sterile business district into a thriving walkable live/work area perfect for the young professional. Old warehouses and offices have been converted into gorgeous lofts and condos, while art galleries, bodegas, and unique restaurants have started to line the streets.
 
The Benefits Of Living Downtown
 
The most obvious benefit of living in downtown Los Angeles is you can skip the long commutes from the suburbs. Imagine, waking up in a beautiful modern loft with a skyline view, hitting Stumptown or Verve for a pour-over coffee, and enjoying a short morning walk through the bustling streets to your job. After work you grab some Spanish fusion cuisine at Baco Mercat or classic Italian at Bestia, then stop by The Last Bookstore to build your vinyl collection or grab a new book. On the weekends you can hit the Arts District and see what really makes the community unique or head over to Little Tokyo and feel like you’ve traveled the world.
 
Downtown Los Angeles Is More Than Just Concrete And Steel
 
Downtown Los Angeles offers more than just skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, there’s tons of plenty of green space so you can fully enjoy the Southern California weather. The largest is Grand Park which stretches 12 acres from City Hall to Disney Hall. There are also dozens of smaller parks tucked away like Grand Hope Park and Spring Street Park which are perfect for children and dogs. Moving downtown does not mean giving up on nature, there are plenty of gorgeous places you can spend an active afternoon enjoying the sun.
 
Location, Location, Location!
 
Downtown Los Angeles is an incredible location. You are right in the center of the city where the interstates intersect, so you can easily access any area from Silverlake and Echo Park to Santa Monica and Venice Beach. There is also the best public transportation in the city between the light rail, subway, and buses. In a few years, you’ll even have access to a new streetcar. Downtown is also walkable and is surprisingly bike-friendly. So it’s an ideal place location for people who want to ditch their car, but still, be able to get around the metro area.
 
Why Invest In A Downtown Los Angeles Loft
 
There are so many community benefits, but one of the most attractive things about downtown is the variety of lofts. Between the stunning turn of the century and mid-century modern architecture found in the Historic Core to the modern sophistication of the new developments in South Park, there are lofts for every design aesthetic and personal taste. Lofts are ideal for new property owners and professionals because you have all the benefits of homeownership with less caretaking responsibility. No lawns to mow or exterior to manage, but plenty of extras like community rooms, rooftop patios, and swimming pools depending on the space you choose.
