Brookside is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. It is an enclave of eight tree-lined streets and 400 homes.[1]

Geography

Brookside is located between Olympic and Wilshire Boulevards, and includes the homes on both sides of, and between, Highland Ave. and Muirfield Ave.[2]

There is a natural stream -- the Arroyo de los Jardines (Brook of the Gardens) -- that runs through Brookside and on to Baldwin Hills and eventually flows into Ballona Creek. [3]

According to Mapping L.A., it is located in the Mid-Wilshire district.

History

Brookside, a neighborhood of predominantly large, single family homes, was developed by the Rimpau Estate Co. in 1920. The area — originally called Wilshire Crest — was built to lure wealthy families from the West Adams District.[4]

On October 28, 2015, the Los Angeles City Council unanimously passed a motion to establish an Interim Control Ordinance (ICO) for the Brookside and Sycamore Square neighborhoods to help prevent residential teardowns and the construction of oversized replacement homes as the city re-works its Baseline Mansionization Ordinance.[5][6]
