See the Historic Filipinotown

Not far from some of the most stunning apartments for rent on Los Angeles’ westside, you’ll find the city’s rather historic Filipinotown. This old LA district, which from Hoover Street in the West to Glendale Boulevard in the East, is a tribute to those first Filipino immigrants who came to the United States in the early 20th Century. Officially designated in 2002, it’s one of the first sections of any US city to be named in honor of the Filipino community, and as you may well know, California’s Filipino-American community is one of the largest in the country.

With that, there comes a great deal within Filipino town that you might wish to see, experience, and explore. So much, in fact, that you might ever have a bit of trouble narrowing down your list.
