Echo Park

Echo Park, Los Angeles, is a historic and culturally vibrant neighborhood located just northwest of Downtown Los Angeles. Established in the late 19th century, it was originally developed around a man-made reservoir, which became Echo Park Lake — now one of the community’s most recognizable landmarks. Over the decades, Echo Park grew into a diverse residential area known for its hilly streets, Victorian homes, and artistic atmosphere. It has long been a hub for creatives, activists, and immigrant communities, and in recent years, it has experienced significant gentrification, bringing new restaurants, cafes, and nightlife to the area. Echo Park is served by ZIP codes 90026 and 90039 and falls under Los Angeles area code 213 (with some areas also using 323). Today, the neighborhood is celebrated for Echo Park Lake, Elysian Park, Dodger Stadium’s proximity, and its thriving mix of historic charm and modern culture. External links
