Larchmont, LA’s smallest neighborhood, with BIG charm
Latest Listings | Testimonials | Instagram | Facebook | LinkedIn | Contact
The smallest neighborhood in Los Angeles is, fittingly, also one of its most quaint and small-town adorable. It’s so quaint and small-town adorable, it still has a little independent bookstore! There are a lot of ways to define LA’s smallest ‘hood (it could be downtown Culver City?), but we’re going with the tiniest by area, according to the Los Angeles Times’s comprehensive mapping project, which puts Larchmont in a .49-square-mile rectangle surrounded by Hollywood, East Hollywood, Koreatown, Hancock Park, and Windsor Square.
Larchmont (use it interchangeably with Larchmont Village if you like) is lined with diagonal parking, wide sidewalks, coffee shops, toy stores, expensive boutiques, dog bakeries and so much more…
Some history
Circa 1921 -
A man named Julian Labonte first established Larchmont Village in 1921 as part of the sprawl out from Downtown in that era, with one-story stores (sometimes with second-story offices) along Larchmont Boulevard, starting with the east side of the street; eventually he added a movie theater on the western side, according to the Larchmont Buzz. The Los Angeles Railway Yellow Car ran down the center of the street. The area prospered as the commercial center for old-money Windsor Square, and in the 1950s the streetcars and telephone poles were taken out to make the strip more pleasant, according to an old story in the Times: “Since then, change has taken place only gradually, sparing the street any major upheavals.”
