Welcome to Los Angeles
The scenic and glamorous City of Angels.
Los Angeles has always attracted residents because of its scenic setting in southern California’s San Fernando Valley, situated along the Pacific coast with the Santa Monica mountains as a beautiful backdrop. It’s also the world's entertainment capital, with movie, music, and other entertainment giants making it their home. The Hollywood culture is thick with actors, directors, musicians, movie stars, dancers, and writers.
Silicon Beach is LA’s hottest technology area, with over 500 tech-related firms like Apple, Sony, Netflix, and Amazon. It’s close to the beach and surf and attracts many innovative startups and entrepreneurs.
There is a wide range of residential architectural styles available in Los Angeles. Spanish, Italian, Tuscan, and Mediterranean-style homes match the Mediterranean climate with stucco, red tiles, and earthy tones. Cozy Craftsman bungalows and cottages are a mainstay in LA, as well as mid-century ranch-style homes and large luxurious modern estates.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping
For the best in worldwide design, whether it's art, fashion, beauty, or dining, the West Hollywood Design District will not disappoint. This walkable area is chock full of over 250 stops showcasing global brands and visionary leaders.
LA’s Original Farmers Market is a popular shopping and dining destination. Its location at 3rd & Fairfax has a long history dating back to the 1880s, but the idea to allow farmers to sell their fresh produce in the 1930s was a winner. Although the market has grown tremendously since those early days, it’s still unique and attracts locals, celebrities, and tourists for its superb shopping and dining.
Upscale shopping is readily available on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, where there are plenty of designer brand shops — Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Buccellati — to name a few. Enjoy the palm tree-lined two miles of exclusive shopping and dining located in equally stunning buildings.
Dining in Los Angeles is resplendent with amazing choices of the finest restaurants with world-class chefs. Craft Los Angeles features the West Coast’s freshest ingredients in their warm and inviting atmosphere. Majordomo, Bestia, and Simpang Asia are some other upscale restaurants to try.
Things to Do
The Venice Historic Canals is a gem of an area to explore. The town of Venice was founded by a wealthy developer who was inspired by the canals in Venice, Italy, and replicated them in his version of a seaside resort back in the early 1900s. Listed as a National Historic District today, they have been refurbished and lined with multi-storied luxurious homes. The canals are easily accessible by bridges and sidewalks with breathtaking views.
