Highland Park became a LANI neighborhood
in 1994. An early suburb of Los Angeles, this community
is fortunate to retain many historical and architecturally
significant buildings, including the Southwest Museum
and Lummis House. Highland Park is equally rich in pedestrian
activity along Figueroa Street, much of it drawn from
the immediate community. However, the pedestrian experience
is not altogether positive; decaying facades and infrastructure,
and fear of crime drive many local residents to shop
outside the area. |
