Rentals in Highland Park, Los Angeles Living in Highland Park.

Hilly streets, deco apartment courts, the reservoir loop at sunset, and a coffee shop on every corner. The Eastside's most-walkable neighborhood — and one of the first places we managed homes.

Neighborhood notes

Why people stay in Highland Park.

The neighborhood was platted in the 1920s around the reservoir, and most of the housing stock dates to that boom — Spanish revival fourplexes, English cottage bungalows, and the occasional R.M. Schindler. A second wave in the late '40s brought modernist post-and-beam homes onto the hills above Silver Lake Boulevard.

Day-to-day, you walk to Sunset Junction, the Saturday farmers' market on Sunset & Griffith Park, the dog park, the steps, and a dozen restaurants serving everything from Oaxacan tlayudas to wood-fired Roman pinsa. Commute to DTLA is fifteen minutes off-peak via the 101 or twenty on the Metro B Line from Vermont/Sunset.

Schools: LAUSD's Ivanhoe Elementary is the magnet most families chase. Public transit is fair — the DASH and Metro 2 cover Sunset, but a car still helps. Street parking is permit-zoned in most pockets, and we'll walk you through the zone for any home you tour.

FAQ

Renting in Highland Park.

What's the typical price range?
Studios start around $1,650, one-bedrooms hover at $2,200–2,800, two-bedrooms at $3,200–4,200, and detached three-bedroom houses run $4,500 to $7,000+ depending on view and yard.
Is parking a problem?
Most streets are permit-zoned. Zone 2 and Zone 41 cover most of central Silver Lake. Permits are available to residents through LADOT for ~$34/year. Off-street parking is a real perk; about half our listings have it.
How are the schools?
Ivanhoe Elementary and Micheltorena Street Elementary are the LAUSD options. Several charters and well-regarded privates (The Walden School, Citizens of the World) are within ten minutes' drive.
Is Silver Lake rent-stabilized?
Buildings constructed before October 1978 with two or more units fall under LA's RSO. We'll always tell you on the listing whether the home is RSO-covered, AB-1482-capped, or fully exempt.
Are pets common?
Very. Silver Lake is famously dog-friendly — the dog park, the reservoir loop, the cafés with patios. About 80% of our Silver Lake homes accept pets.
How fast do homes lease?
Median time-to-lease in Silver Lake last quarter was 11 days from list to signed lease. The well-priced 2-bedrooms move inside a week.
