Atwater Village

If you’re an eastsider, Atwater Village is where you move if you want to feel a little bit grown up, but aren’t quite ready to be Eagle Rock grown up. Once no more than poppy fields, this lesser known, little-brother neighborhood is on the rise. Compete with other “creatives” to get a “I can’t believe we actually got it” house before Forbes gets word about all the cool stuff happening here and ruins everything. But seriously, this place is as diverse as it is welcoming. Quiet, tree-lined streets? Check. Surplus of locals-heavy happy hours and vibrant weekend energy? Yep. New bars, cafes and interesting shops opening on the regs? All the time. That elusive ‘community feel’? In spades. It's the perfect LA neighborhood for discovery...and also brunch.

Did you know that despite its concrete jungle vibe, the LA River is the cleanest fresh body of water in SoCal? We’re not sure if that’s awesome or horrifying either, but some people enjoy taking advantage of Atwater Village’s river border. It seems like it will be next level amazing when the elusive River Restoration project is done (buy your riverfront real estate now folks). For now, you can enjoy the recent bike path extension and check out all the new pop-ups in Frogtown. Not hardcore enough? Then take a Kayak trip (not a joke) with LA River Kayak Safari or rent a bike from Spoke Bicycle Café and grab a cappuccino to go.
