Renter Tips for Fairfax, Los Angeles

Units directly on Fairfax Ave get more foot traffic and noise, especially near The Grove and the Melrose end of the strip; the residential side streets a block or two east or west are quieter while still walking distance to everything. This is one of the more tourist-heavy parts of LA, so parking can be tight near Farmers Market and The Grove on weekends — ask whether a unit includes dedicated parking before ruling anything out based on street parking alone.
