Protecting the heart of Larchmont
Larchmont Village is a unique LA neighborhood with over a century of history, rooted in walkability, and a strong community ethos.
Historic Character: Founded in the early 1900s, Larchmont’s tree-lined streets and aesthetically-pleasing architecture come together to create a highly walkable street. Major Henry Hancock and Julius LaBonte’s vision created Southern California’s first true “village” shopping street.
Village Vibrancy: Larchmont Boulevard offers coffee shops to independent bookstores, bakeries, and fitness studios.
Strong Community: Larchmont’s sense of neighborhood is displayed at community festivals, neighborhood association meetings, and the weekly farmers market. Generations of families, small farms and entrepreneurs are drawn to the street twice a week.
Central Convenience: Located minutes from Hollywood, downtown, and the Miracle Mile, Larchmont offers easy access while maintaining a quiet, safe feel that’s rare in Los Angeles.
When my grandson (end right, black cap) was in elementary school at Citizens of the World, Larchmont Boulevard was one of those rare places in our city where you could trust the street to be safe for kids. We need more of this throughout our district. Thriving commercial corridors where neighbors invest, young people find their first jobs and we promote walkability.
