About Koreatown, Los Angeles
📍 ☀️ Clear 15°C now
Koreatown (Korean: 코리아타운) is a neighborhood in central Los Angeles, California, centered near Sixth and Alexandria streets. Koreans began immigrating in larger numbers in the 1960s and found housing in the Mid-Wilshire area. Many opened businesses as they found friendly rental rates and tolerance toward the growing Korean population. Many of the historic Art Deco buildings with terra cotta façades have been preserved because the buildings remained economically viable for the new businesses. Despite the name evoking a traditional ethnic enclave, the community is complex and has an impact on areas outside the traditional boundaries.
