5 Reasons To Live In Koreatown
When you are looking at apartments for rent in Los Angeles, location is everything. There are so many unique neighborhoods in LA, each with a different living experience and personality.
If you are thinking about moving to Koreatown, we are excited for you!
Billed as one of the most unique cities within the city of Los Angeles, Koreatown often feels like crossing the border into a new country. It is an always evolving and exciting neighborhood to be living in. There are plenty of perks to renting an apartment in this affordable and highly walkable area.
It’s one of our favorite neighborhoods. It is such a cool part of the city that provides so much history, culture, and cuisine.
Here are five reasons why you should move to Koreatown:
There Is An Abundance of Great Food
Koreatown is jam-packed full of amazing restaurants and eateries. It is of course the neighborhood where you can find the very best Korean BBQ in Los Angeles but it also is home to a wide range of cuisines.
Chinese, Indian, and Japanese restaurants are not hard to come by in Koreatown but it’s also well known for its fantastic Mexican food.
The neighborhood is home to more than 120,000 residents and around 20 percent of the residents of Koreatown are of Korean heritage. The majority of its population is Latino. It is a trilingual area of Los Angeles and you’ll likely hear Korean, Spanish, and English spoken anywhere you go.
All of the cultures and backgrounds together make for an incredible melting pot food experience. Sometimes the cuisines are even blended like at Kogi BBQ, a Mexican-Korean fusion food truck.
It’s The Neighborhood That Never Sleeps
Move over New York City! Koreatown is the new city that never sleeps.
Koreatown is well known for its nightlife. There are hundreds of bars and nightclubs. In fact, rumor has it that Koreatown has the highest concentration of restaurants and nightclubs in all of Southern California.
If you’re a shower singer, take your talent to the stage at one of Koreatown’s many
karaoke bars. Karaoke may just be the neighborhood’s favorite pastime.
It’s not just bars and nightclubs open late – Koreatown is also home to many 24-hour restaurants.
You’ll never go hungry!
Treating Yourself At The Spa
You can treat yourself to a relaxing spa day on the cheap in Koreatown.
Spend a day at the spa complete with saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, pools, and lots of lovely add-on options (body scrubs, anyone?) for as little as $15 for a day pass.
Many of the spas also have Korean cafes so you can enjoy a great meal while you’re there too.
Honestly, we don’t know why anyone would ever leave!
Location, Location, Location
Koreatown has a great walking score and is easy to navigate. It is also centrally located making it convenient to get to every other part of Los Angeles using the 10 or 101 freeway, bus, or the subway.
A short bus or subway ride will bring you to Downtown Los Angeles where you can enjoy the art scene, markets, and museums of the revitalized neighborhood.
Koreatown is accessible by both the Purple and Red lines.
The Really Cool Apartments for Rent
Even with its cool factor and all that it has to offer Koreatown is still an affordable Los Angeles neighborhood to rent in.
As it was a 1920s hotspot destination for many glamorous Hollywood stars, the glamor lives on and is being revived and restored in our apartment buildings – for example, our building Casa Bella.
Built in the fanciful Spanish Revival style Casa Bella maintains an old-world feel while embracing modern flourishes. Step through the front doors into a grand foyer where a vintage gated elevator is waiting to whisk you up to your apartment.
Each of our Koreatown apartment buildings is just unique as well as conveniently located.
