Diversity is the name of the game in Mid-Wilshire, not just in terms of culture and religion, but also in terms of architecture, real estate, and shopping and dining options.
A mix of magnificent homes, inclusive schools, and hip-and-happening restaurants make it one of the most desirable places to live in Los Angeles. And that’s not even counting the sheer beauty of the place, readily apparent in its sunny, tree-lined streets and green spaces.
Real estate and architecture

Fans of early to mid-20th century architecture will appreciate a number of structures here that hark back to that era. The Wilshire corridor itself is quite historic – it was the site of the Ambassador Hotel, where former President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and which has since been torn down. It was also the route of the first suburban expansion in LA.
Today you’ll see homes reminiscent of 1920s architecture among Hancock Park homes for sale, along with modernist office buildings and strip malls in Koreatown. The remaining Art Deco designs in Miracle Mile are also worth a visit when you’re looking for that retro vibe.
