Historic Jewish Quarter

Original Farmers Market & The Grove
The Original Farmers Market at 3rd and Fairfax has operated since 1934; The Grove, an outdoor shopping and entertainment complex, sits right next to it and draws crowds most days of the week.
Streetwear Culture
North Fairfax Ave (toward Melrose) became one of the most recognized streetwear and sneaker shopping strips in the country, drawing a younger, fashion-forward crowd to the neighborhood.
Museum Row
LACMA and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures both sit on Wilshire Blvd at the district's northern edge — a rare concentration of major museums within walking distance.
Metro D Line
The Metro D Line (Purple Line) Extension's Wilshire/Fairfax station puts the neighborhood on a direct subway line toward Downtown LA and, eventually, the Westside.
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.
