Echo Park

Hipster L.A. district

Echo Park is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California, centered around a lake of the same name.

The area is known for its hilly terrain, views of the downtown skyline, and historic status as one of the city's oldest neighborhoods.

Once heavily working-class and Latino, Echo Park has gentrified significantly since the 2000s: We got priced out of Echo Park and moved to Highland Park.
