LARCHMONT VILLAGE

Located between West 1st Street and Beverly Boulevard, this is a charming little stretch of shopping street. It lies between two historic Los Angeles neighborhoods: Windsor Square and Hancock Park, established in the 1920s. In concrete terms, Larchmont Village is a succession of small cafés and independent boutiques: while not a must-see, the area lends itself to a pleasant stroll, coffee in hand. What's more, over 2,300 of the oldest and best-preserved homes in the area can be found here.
