Echo Park: One of America's 10 Great Neighborhoods



Echo Park was just distinguished as one of the 10 great neighborhoods in America! As a longtime resident of Echo Park I already knew this, but it's great to be validated by the American Planning Association. I love, love living here. Here's what the APA has to say about my little neck of the woods - Angelino Heights.

"Angelino Heights near Echo Lake is the neighborhood's most picturesque area. More than 50 Victorian homes grace this historic district, which was established in 1983 as the city's first Historic Preservation Overlay Zone. One entire block of Angelino Heights, which also includes Craftsman-style bungalows, brownstones, and Streamline Moderne architecture, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places."
