History
At the beginning of the 21st century the area began to rapidly transform with infill development.[1] Luxury apartments and condominiums with ground floor retail began construction in the 2000s.[2] The district's proximity to the University of Southern California, as well as the A Line and E Line light rail lines, have made it an attractive area for young professionals. As with many neighborhood transformations, this change in demographics has many concerned about displacement and gentrification issues.
Geography
According to the City of Los Angeles:
The District includes all property within a boundary that begins on the north at 9th Street and the 110 Freeway and runs east to Flower Street then south to Olympic Boulevard, east on Olympic Boulevard to mid-block across Hill Street then south to 11th Street then east to mid-block across Broadway forming the northern boundary. From there the eastern boundary runs south across 12th Street, past Pico Boulevard, past 14th Street, past 15th Street, across Venice Boulevard to the centerline of 17th Street. From there the southern boundary runs west along 17th Street/Santa Monica (10) Freeway across Broadway, past Hill Street, past Olive Street, past Grand Avenue, past Hope Street, past Flower Street, across Figueroa Street to behind the Convention Center along Convention Center Drive. From there the western boundary runs north along L.A. Live Way (Cherry Street) across Pico Boulevard, past 12th Street, past Chick Hearn Court (11th Street) across Olympic Boulevard to 9th Street and the Harbor (110) Freeway."[3]
