The City's Largest Historic District

The Highland Park–Garvanza Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, established in 1994, covers roughly 4,000 structures including more than fifty Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments — the largest HPOZ in the city, and the first to include commercial buildings.

🚊

Metro A Line

The Highland Park station connects directly to downtown Los Angeles in one direction and Pasadena in the other, with no transfer required.

🍽️

York Boulevard

York Boulevard carries much of the neighborhood’s independent restaurant, bar and shop activity, with Figueroa Street forming a second, longer commercial corridor.

⛰️

Arroyo Seco Setting

The neighborhood sits in the Arroyo Seco with hillside streets on both sides, giving many blocks elevation, views and a quieter feel than the flat commercial corridors.

🎨

Craftsman Housing Stock

Highland Park is known for its Craftsman bungalows and early twentieth-century houses, many of them protected within the HPOZ and preserved rather than replaced.

Renter Tips for Highland Park, Los Angeles

Highland Park is hilly, and elevation matters more here than the map suggests — a unit half a mile from the A Line station can be a steep walk. Much of the housing is genuinely old and, inside the HPOZ, protected from significant exterior alteration, so ask directly about heating, cooling, insulation and electrical capacity rather than assuming. The neighborhood has changed quickly over the last decade, and rents vary sharply between renovated and unrenovated units on the same block, so compare specific listings rather than neighborhood averages. Street parking is easier here than in denser parts of the city, but is still tight on the blocks nearest York and Figueroa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Highland Park a historic district?

Much of it is. The Highland Park–Garvanza Historic Preservation Overlay Zone covers around 4,000 structures and is the largest in Los Angeles, which means exterior changes to properties inside it are regulated.

How do you get from Highland Park to downtown?

The Metro A Line runs from the Highland Park station directly into downtown Los Angeles without a transfer, and continues the other way to Pasadena. Driving typically uses the 110 Arroyo Seco Parkway.

What kind of housing does Highland Park have?

Mostly early twentieth-century houses, particularly Craftsman bungalows, along with small apartment buildings. Because a large share sits within a historic preservation zone, older exteriors are common even where interiors have been updated.
