Hollywood
When many people hear "LA" they automatically think of Hollywood. But although those who aren't from the area sometimes believe the two to be synonymous, most people from Southern California know Hollywood to be just one small neighborhood within a much more diverse city.

San Fernando Valley
The Valley is an encompassing term that includes several neighborhoods, such as North Hollywood, Studio City and Burbank, among others. Though each neighborhood within the Valley is slightly different, the area is known for being a good spot for people who'd rather save some money and live a bit outside of Downtown or Hollywood.

Downtown
Downtown LA is one of the most central Los Angeles neighborhoods, and it's a pretty good area for people who prefer walking to driving. The neighborhood has an almost New York-style vibe, with skyscrapers and a subway system, and it offers plenty of great restaurants and recreational opportunities.

Echo-Park-Silver Lake People's
The neighboring communities are full of locally owned (and very hip) establishments, music venues, shops, and more. Another benefit of the area? It's beautiful– set in the hills and full of leafy trees and pretty views.

Venice
There's nothing inside or outside of LA quite like the Venice Boardwalk, on which you'll find a very diverse group of street performers, hippies, and other kooky people who love hanging out in one of LA's beachside neighborhoods.

Santa Monica
Santa Monica is just north of Venice, and though it's often considered a neighborhood in Los Angeles, it's really its own incorporated city. Perfect for beach-lovers, Santa Monica is also easily walkable, full of entertainment and dining opportunities, and offers tons of shopping.
