This is a list of the districts and neighborhoods of the city of Los Angeles . The districts are organized by region.
Overview
Los Angeles neighborhoods display a degree of diversity well befitting the second-largest city in the United States. Much of this is an artifact of the city's history of growth by annexation and horizontal development, which allowed distinct environments to arise in many areas; indeed, many Los Angeles neighborhoods, such as Venice, Hancock Park, Silver Lake and Boyle Heights are fairly close-knit, culturally distinctive communities.
Many communities do not have defined or commonly accepted boundaries. Yet there is a broad consensus that they belong in particular larger district-wide groupings.
The city is oddly shaped—surrounded and punctured by unincorporated areas, other cities and state parklands. The city began in what is now downtown, in what had first been a Tongva village named Yang-na located in what is now the Los Angeles State Historic Park near Chinatown. It later became a Spanish pueblo and eventually grew to a metropolis based on manufacturing, aerospace, and entertainment industries. The city, and indeed the county, radiated outward from downtown, and geographic names referencing cardinal points or relative directions tend to be determined by their relationship to downtown rather than directions proper. For example, East L.A. is not all of the city east of West L.A., but rather the portion of the city east of downtown (and the Los Angeles River in its proximity).
The origins of L.A. neighborhoods are varied. Angelino Heights, for example, with its 1880s-era Victorian houses, was within view and walking distance (although a long one) from downtown Los Angeles, while distant Playa Vista is the city's newest manufactured neighborhood, conceived and birthed by developers. Chinatown was originally an ethnic-based community whose population and businesses were forced to move wholesale from a few miles away when L.A.'s newly built Union Station displaced Old Chinatown in the 1930s. San Pedro was once an independent city that voted to be annexed to Los Angeles: San Pedro benefited from L.A.'s access to water and the larger city got access to San Pedro's harbor.
The City of Los Angeles is divided among several telephone area codes. Area code 213 encompasses Downtown L.A. and adjacent neighborhoods; most remaining areas of central L.A. fall within area code 323, including Hollywood, Mid-Wilshire, and South Los Angeles; area code 310 and area code 424 cover West L.A., other westside cities, and the Harbor Area; and area code 818 covers the San Fernando Valley.
Downtown Los Angeles
Main article: Downtown Los AngelesDowntown Los Angeles marks the geographic, political, and historic center of Los Angeles. Although the smallest region of Los Angeles by area, it includes a great variety of diverse neighborhoods, ranging from several modern skyscrapers of the Financial District to the historic structures of the Historic Core to the ethnic enclaves of Chinatown and Little Tokyo. It also contains many cultural attractions and entertainment venues. Downtown is also a center for local and regional transportation, with several freeways passing through and Union Station connecting regional trains to local buses and the Metro Line.

East and Northeast Los Angeles
Main article: East Los Angeles (region)See also: Northeast Los AngelesTo the east and northeast of Downtown Los Angeles and the Los Angeles River lies Eastern Los Angeles. The region may sometimes be defined to include adjacent areas outside of the city boundaries of Los Angeles, such as Montebello and East Los Angeles. The communities listed here, however, all lie within the city of Los Angeles.
Many of the neighborhoods of Eastern Los Angeles house large Latino populations, although several neighborhoods, especially in northeast L.A., have more mixed populations. In the northern portions of Lincoln Heights and Montecito Heights there are white populations of Italian and French descent. Highland Park with Eagle Rock also have a significant amount of white people. In Monterrey Hills nearly half of the population is white. The population also ranges from working-class to affluent. The predominantly residential neighborhoods of the region contain many hills, especially in northern regions.

Echo Park and Westlake
Immediately west of Downtown Los Angeles lie some of the city's earliest suburbs. Angelino Heights and Echo Park were the locations of some of the first film studios west of the Mississippi. Now mostly populated by Latino immigrants, a great amount of distinctive architecture has been preserved from the early 20th century, including the restored Victorian homes in Angelino Heights. This region also includes the most densely populated areas in Los Angeles.

Greater Hollywood
See also: West Hollywood and Universal City, CaliforniaFormerly a religious colony, then an independent city, Hollywood was annexed by Los Angeles in 1910. Its name is synonymous with the motion picture industry, yet much of movie production has moved out to neighboring cities. Tourists flock to Hollywood Boulevard to gaze up to the Hollywood sign in the Mountains. The last decade has brought new life to the once-struggling parts of the Hollywood district, with various developments taking advantage of new subway stations. The wealth of the neighborhoods here is strongly influenced by elevation; some of the wealthiest tracts in the country are up in the Hollywood Hills, with gradually less affluent population leading to pockets of large working-class and transient populations further southeast.
