With high walkability scores, great coffee shops, bars, and restaurants, Glassell Park draws artists, musicians, and creatives of all types.

Many of the homes are on tree-covered hillsides with stunning sunset views over downtown LA and Griffith Park, and the 11-mile Los Angeles River Bike Path runs along the western edge of the neighborhood. Small, family-owned businesses are popular here, with vegan cafes, Romanian restaurants, and local craft breweries drawing loyal followings.

The Community

The Glassell Park Recreation Center Complex is a community hub on the weekends, featuring baseball and soccer fields, tennis and basketball courts, children’s play areas, barbeque pits and picnic areas.

Neighbors also come together to tend the Glassell Park Community Garden, which is close to Fletcher Drive Elementary and the Washington Irving Magnet Middle School. Other highly rated schools include Alliance Leichtman Levine Family Foundation Environmental Science High School, Sotomayor Arts & Sciences Magnet, and Glassell Park Elementary School, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Rio de Los Angeles Park on the southern edge of the neighborhood has wonderful hiking paths and is another hub for youth sports and community events. With a population of only 26,582, Glassell Park feels like a close-knit village just ten minutes north of downtown Los Angeles.

The Culture

The diversity of Glassell Park can be seen in its eclectic markets, restaurants, and bars. From long-standing small neighborhood shops like Odells’ clothing to the huge Super King international grocery store, you can find just about anything you need.

You’ll find locals hanging out at Little Ripper Coffee in the morning and at Permanent Records Roadhouse at night, buying records and sipping craft brews on the patio or in the old school booths while listening to live music.

Pilates devotees can take classes in one of the studios at Live Arts Los Angeles, where a dance or theater troupe can also rent a space to rehearse their upcoming performance.

Thrift stores, comic book stores, and pottery stores line Eagle Rock Boulevard, making for a fun Saturday morning stroll, and Sugarbloom Bakery is a local favorite for morning treats. At the local parks, there are always games going on and families gathered for picnics.

 

 

Lifestyle

If you love coffee, you’ll love this neighborhood. Little Ripper is popular for its iced lavender lattes and seasonal toasts, Little Barn makes mouthwatering vegan breakfast sandwiches to enjoy on the wooded patio with your oat milk cappuccino, and Habitat has fantastic espresso and pastries as well as healthy snacks, salads, and sandwiches to take on a hike or a picnic.

Meet friends on a Sunday morning at Lemon Poppy Kitchen for their namesake pastries and European-inspired brunch on a sunny patio. After breakfast and caffeine, enjoy a long, scenic bike ride along the LA River Bike Path without having to worry about hills or traffic.

Dinner and drinks have a whole new meaning in Glassell Park, where you can choose from Romanian stews and dumplings at Parsnip, Filipino cuisine at Toto’s Lechon Menok or Lutong Bahay, or modern Mediterranean at Momed. After work, head to Verdugo Bar or Eagle Rock Brewery for craft beers, pinball, and dinner from the hip food trucks, or meet for a proper Old Fashioned in a velvet booth at The Grant.

You’ll find so many ways to relax and have fun at the broad-ranging parks, shops, and restaurants in Glassell Park.
