Why Choose A Home In Silver Lake
 
The priorities of Los Angeles residents have shifted in recent years. Once we focused on properties based on proximity to the beach, but as our great city has grown and developed, many of us have started to appreciate the benefits of living in a thriving metropolis. Silver Lake has the ideal location as an Eastside neighborhood. It’s located slightly North of Downtown and neighbors Hollywood to the West. It’s a gorgeous area with winding streets and a beautiful central lake and a perfect place to consider making your new home.
 
Silver Lake’s Revitalization
 
A once-forgotten area of town has seen a complete revitalization thanks to the denizens of artists, hipsters, and entrepreneurs who saw the potential in the area. The once abandoned streets are now filled with art galleries, cutting-edge restaurants, and curated shops. This burgeoning development has been compared to Brooklyn in New York, and the region is known for attracting everyone from stars like James Franco to hipster artists, to new families who love the culture and walkability of the area. The development of the neighborhood has also allowed for affordable housing and provides plenty of opportunities for people looking to start their own business, pursue their artistic endeavors, and meet a community of creatives unlike anywhere else in Los Angeles.
 
The Architecture Of Silver Lake
 
Silver Lake developed in the 1920s and was a thriving modern area through most of the mid-century, housing artists and actors alike. The architecture is mostly modern, moderne, and mid-century modern, with flourishes of art deco and art nouveau. There are also gorgeous examples of Mediterranean-style homes spotted across the landscape. The forward-thinking architecture of the area is one of the main things that have attracted the residents. Here you can still find extremely affordable hidden gems of architectural wonder, that with little updating, rivals some of the architecture in the more expensive areas of town. The architectural aesthetic of the area is what inspires so many of its residents to pursue their creative work.
