Where to Live in Koreatown LA

Want to live in an ethnically diverse area in a prime LA location? Look no further than Los Angeles' Koreatown. This bustling area is officially located west of downtown LA and sits in a square south of Highway 101, North of Interstate 10, and West of Interstate 110.

As with any neighborhood in the city, the boundaries can be blurred when cultures spill over into nearby areas. However, the city has officially dubbed Koreatown as the area between Vermont Avenue on the east and Western Avenue on the west. The northern boundary is 3rd street, while the southern is Olympic Boulevard. In total, the area is about 3 square miles.

Koreatown, also known as K-town, has a rich history full of people and places that worked to make LA the city that it is today. It was once the center point of Hollywood back when movies were new to the scene.
