Westlake is surrounded by some of the best neighborhoods in Los Angeles.  Its amazing location is one of the best kept secrets in Los Angeles.  Its access to the best thoroughfares in Southern California (CA 101, 10 and 110) lets its residents get just about anywhere, fast.

Westlake is flanked by the incredibly hip Silver Lake to the north, Echo Park to the northeast and east, Downtown to the southeast, Pico-Union to the south and southwest and Koreatown to the west.
