Neighborhood Vibe

The western edge of Koreatown is dense, vibrant, and endlessly delicious -- 24-hour Korean BBQ joints, karaoke rooms, and spas line Western and Wilshire. It's one of LA's most transit-friendly neighborhoods thanks to the Metro Purple Line, and rents remain surprisingly reasonable for such a central location.
