Around Ladera Heights

Most residents of Ladera Heights live in its southern half, as the northern half is a state recreation area and, to the west of La Cienega Boulevard, there are the infamous oil fields. This leaves residents little choice but to live in the southern half, which is relatively landlocked between a freeway and a number of busy boulevards. However, the southwest portion of the neighborhood does offer some great views of the west side if you find the right home.

Because of the location and the fact that much of the neighborhood is dedicated state park land or is an oil field, there is a segmented culinary scene in Ladera Heights. However, Slauson Boulevard, which is the major east - west road in the area, offers a number of excellent little-known local restaurants. One shopping center offers almost exclusively Cajun and New Orleans-inspired food, while another sells locally popular sandwiches. There is a great rough-and-tumble culinary scene in Ladera Heights but you have to be observant.

Expect to see a neighborhood that does not shy away from change. Ladera Heights was relatively unsafe back in the day. It has turned around significantly in the past decade and looks poised to get even better when the Los Angeles Rams football stadium is completed and train service one day reaches the area. Ladera Heights offers affordable housing with easy access to the beach, the airport, and central Los Angeles.
