NoHo Arts District, Los Angeles, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The NoHo Arts District is a new Los Angeles community, located near Valley Village and North Hollywood, that is home to contemporary theaters, art galleries, cafes, boutiques, and other shops. A Metro Rail station is located here, the North Hollywood station of the Red Line, and the terminus of the Metro Orange Line busway is across the street.
Today, The NoHo Arts District, in conjnction with greater North Hollywood, is being transformed from a relatively lower-middle class suburb into a regional center, in large part as a result of the construction of Metro Stations for the Red Line and the Orange Line, two lines that have made the city into a regional hub for the San Fernando Valley. Medium- and high-density developments are being built around the Metro Station, making the Arts District an epicenter of citywide development, with the intent of creating a walkable urban village. North Hollywood's landscape (and the Art's District as a reuslt) has been transformed in recent years, with condominium towers (including a 15-story building on Lankershim Blvd) being built in the midst of older one-story bungalows and small apartment complexes.
