Safety

Koreatown has an above average violent crime rate and an average property crime rate for Los Angeles.

WHAT’S LIVING IN Koreatown LIKE?

Koreatown took some heavy hits in the 1992 Los Angeles riots. Hundreds of businesses were set on fire and whole blocks were destroyed. But it's hard to imagine that ever happenedas you walk this neighborhood's streets today. Cool restaurants, bars, and speakeasies are dotted around the streets. Amix of Korean-American families, hipsters, and young professionals occupy the apartment buildings that provide the housing for this community. Big businesses occupy the office towers lining the main thoroughfare, Wilshire Boulevard.

For traditionalists, there are still plenty of little Korean shopping plazas, their stores and cheap Korean restaurants made obvious by neon signs that glow late into the night. And you can always wrap up a late night out at one of the many karaoke joints.

Koreatown is bordered on the north by Hollywood, on the east by Westlake, on the south by Pico-Union, Harvard Heights, and Arlington Heights, and on the west by Mid-Wilshire and Windsor Square.
