Used to be a Great Place..But No..Run for your Life. User Rating 1 rating By Anonymous ( Jun 26, 2020) Let me be blunt. Do not buy here, do not live here. I own a home here and have lived here 25+ years. All of the F ratings you see listed for this location are well deserved. As I write this, we are in the upward climb of the COVID-19 pandemic and constant racial tension, riots, ...Read More demonstrations downtown. No that the LAPD has been demoralized and had 150 million cut from their budget you are pretty much on your own in terms of safety. I never go out after nightfall unless it's an emergency. The schools are the lowest performing in the country. New homeless camps are springing up every day in my neighborhood, home prices are falling, due to the epidemic everyone is indoors, restaurants are all closed. Everything attractive about LA is closed. And as the State and City are continuing to be taken over by "Socialistcrats" LA is now a dead city, high taxes, high crime, high homelessness, poor schools, hours in backed up traffic. Unless you are totally insane..don't move here. Run for your life! Read Less

I love being at the center of where so much music happens, new film screenings, gallery openings and hundred of parties happy each night. The cool thing about Mid City is that you can take it or leave it as it comes.
