I’ve been trying to find a place before I begin my move May 1st but it seems like every time I find somewhere I think I should sign a lease with, I find out something bad about it. This forum has become the first place I come to for research because who knows it better than a sampling of people who live there? Anyway, if anyone is familiar with the area, could you tell me how these intersections are?


Silver Lake: Westerly Ter (near Sunset/Silver Lake blvd intersection)

Silver Lake: Golden Gate Ave (near Sunset Blvd)

Los Feliz: Los Feliz Blvd (2 blocks west of Riverside Dr)

Silver Lake: Park View St (between Beverly & Temple)

Los Feliz: Near Franklin & Kenmore

Silver Lake: Near Santa Monica & Hoover

Los Feliz: Los Feliz Blvd (2 blocks west of Riverside Dr)

This is still a decent area, although their is traffic at certain times on Los Feliz Blvd., and on week ends due to it being right at the mouth of Griffith Park, The Zoo, The Greek Theatre, etc. The apartments/condos are nice and some have great views. You will be close to shopping Costco etc, and you are close to Glendale shopping mall, and close to the freeway.

The area is still a relatively safe area.

The other areas mentioned are not that great in my opinion, although areas that are right around or on the Lake (Silver Lake) is nice and eclectic with a nice mix of folks.

Good luck!

To add to LizzyNola's description of the Los Feliz address, you are also very close to the 5 freeway there, which definitely has its good and bad points.

The rest of the addresses seem decent except for the Park View address. That address is off of the Rampart exit of the 101. I've never heard anything good about Rampart. The one exception is that there is a roller derby venue right around there somewhere.

Silver Lake: Westerly Ter (near Sunset/Silver Lake blvd intersection) This area is very iffy, a high immigrant popluation, high traffic during baseball season due to Dodger games

Silver Lake: Golden Gate Ave (near Sunset Blvd) same as above

Los Feliz: Los Feliz Blvd (2 blocks west of Riverside Dr) Very nice area, next to Griffith Park. Unfortunately, a LOT of traffic because Los Feliz is the main thoroughfare. And there are lots of attractions in the Park (the Zoo, the Greek Theatre, the Observatory, etc.)

Silver Lake: Park View St (between Beverly & Temple) Very harsh neighborhood. I wouldn't suggest it unless you don't mind REALLY rough. Very high immigrant popluation; however, a couple of blocks from Rampart police station. There is a whole thread on Rampart.

Los Feliz: Near Franklin & Kenmore Somewhat nice area. Near Scientology headquarters, Hollywood Kaiser and Children's Hospital. The Franklin side is nice but get iffy as you head South.

Silver Lake: Near Santa Monica & Hoover same as Park View.
