Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, CA. 5 rentals are currently available here on EMLAKIE — EMLAKIE adds no broker fee of its own.
Lincoln Heights is the oldest suburb in Los Angeles — subdivided in 1873, and known as East Los Angeles until residents voted to rename it in 1917. It sits just northeast of downtown across the Los Angeles River, close enough that the skyline is visible from much of the neighborhood, and it has kept a housing stock and street grid older than almost anywhere else in the city. Rents here are consistently below the Westside and downtown averages for comparable space.
Neighborhood boundaries: Los Angeles Times Mapping L.A.; listing-provided neighborhood names may also be used.

The City's First Suburb
Subdivided in 1873 on land bought by Dr. John Strother Griffin, Lincoln Heights predates nearly every other Los Angeles neighborhood, and much of its Victorian and Craftsman housing stock survives.
Metro A Line
The Lincoln/Cypress station puts Union Station and downtown a few minutes away by rail, and continues north toward Highland Park and Pasadena without a transfer.
Lincoln Park
One of the oldest public parks in Los Angeles anchors the neighborhood, with a lake, recreation center and long-standing community events.
North Broadway
The commercial spine has been in place since the late 1880s and still carries most of the neighborhood’s restaurants, bakeries and independent storefronts.
Downtown Proximity
Downtown Los Angeles is roughly two miles southwest, making Lincoln Heights one of the closest neighborhoods to the job centre that still rents below downtown pricing.
Housing here is older than the citywide norm, which cuts both ways: you get more character and often more square footage per dollar, but you should ask specifically about heating, electrical capacity, windows and parking, none of which can be assumed in pre-war construction. Blocks vary noticeably — streets closer to the 5 freeway and the industrial corridor along the river carry more traffic and noise than the hillside streets to the north. If you plan to commute by rail rather than car, confirm actual walking distance to the Lincoln/Cypress station, since the neighborhood is hillier than it looks on a map.
Not today. Lincoln Heights was officially named East Los Angeles from 1873 until 1917, when residents voted to change it. The separate, unincorporated community now called East Los Angeles lies further east and is a different place.
Roughly two miles northeast of downtown. The Metro A Line runs from the Lincoln/Cypress station to Union Station and the downtown core in a few minutes, and driving is short outside of peak hours.
Predominantly older stock — Victorian and Craftsman houses, many divided into units, alongside small apartment buildings. Newer construction exists but is much less common than in most of the city.
