SILVER LAKE & EAGLE ROCK, HOLLYWOOD, OLD PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 2019

I really did not know the cute neighborhoods north of downtown Los Angeles until my son went to Occidental 6 years ago.  The four years he was there I so enjoyed exploring Eagle Rock, Glendale, Silverlake and Pasadena.  Fast forward to today, I regret not buying a small home as an investment.  All of these neighborhoods have flourished and blossomed into desirable places to live.  My son still lives there and I try to spend 2x a year visiting and exploring.

I recently did a little update on some of my favorites and places that are on my list to visit.
