Larchmont, Los Angeles, California

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Larchmont (alternately Larchmont Village) is the commercial heart of the Hancock Park district of Los Angeles, California. Although the neighborhood lies wholly within Windsor Square, and serves as Windsor Square's "main street," it is commonly thought of as a distinct and separate district, a dividing line between the mansions to its west and the family homes to its east (an area known as Windsor Square). Larchmont Village is centered on Larchmont Boulevard between Beverly Boulevard and 3rd Street.
