Park La Brea, Los Angeles, CaliforniaPark La Brea is a neighborhood in west-central Los Angeles, California. It is considered part of the Fairfax District. It is bordered by West Hollywood on the west and north, Hollywood on the northeast, Hancock Park on the east, and the Miracle Mile on the south. Principal thoroughfares include Beverly Boulevard, Melrose, Fairfax, and La Brea Avenues, and 3rd Street. It is based around the tony Park La Brea housing development which were begun in 1944, and primarily completed in 1948; the buildings have been since lightly remodeled and expanded. Developed as an extension of Hollywood and the Miracle Mile, Park La Brea shares those areas' Art Deco and Spanish Colonial architectural heritage. Like other Fairfax District neighborhoods, it is heavily Jewish. Its most notable attraction is the Farmers' Market at 3rd and Fairfax, which has long been a major gathering place for Hollywood's glitterati; The Grove, a major retail project, opened nearby in 2002. One of the highest-profile condominium projects in Los Angeles' recent history, The Palazzo, is just to the east. Another major retail center in the district is Melrose Avenue, whose cutting-edge boutiques make it a hipster version of Beverly Hills' famous Rodeo Drive. External links
