Downtown Apartments for Rent

One of the most notable neighborhoods in Los Angeles is Downtown, an area that houses landmark properties and attractions: L.A. Live, Nokia Theatre, Staples Center and the Los Angeles Convention Center to name just a few. These properties and attractions feature internationally renowned sports matches, world class expositions, big-ticket entertainment and award ceremonies. However, the panorama of Los Angeles can change within a few city blocks from omnipotence to the Midnight Mission at Skid Row.

The Bunker Hill financial and business district area of Downtown includes prime real estate such as the California Plaza, U.S. Bank Tower and the Walt Disney Concert Hall as well as residential properties Bunker Hill Towers and the Grand Promenade Tower, among many others.

Another area of Downtown is the Civic Center which houses local, state and federal authorities, Los Angeles City Hall and the Los Angeles Superior Court and many other city, county, state and federal or related offices and residential lofts which have sprung up all over the downtown area.

The Pershing Square area of Downtown Los Angeles is where the Jewelry District begins and rightfully boasts the International Jewelry Center, while at the far end of Downtown is Union Station where the public transportation network begins and ends. Close by is Olvera Street and then Little Tokyo.

Shoppers will be happy to hear that in Downtown, the 7th Street Metro area is home to Macy’s Plaza and 7th & Fig, certain to tame some shopping whims. Further down toward the Alley area of wholesale and discount shopping is the Cooper Design Space, an infamous alley for wholesale and discount merchandise, for serious shoppers of bulk.

Finally, Los Angeles’ Downtown is both pedestrian and pet friendly. Coupled with an ever-expanding public transportation system that is easily accessible and ready to transport patrons to all other neighborhoods within the city, as well as neighboring cities throughout southern California, getting around Downtown has never been easier.
