One of the oldest settled areas of Los Angeles, Highland Park is also one of the most scenic due to its architecture and geographic location between the Mt. Washington hills, the San Rafael hills and the Monterey Hills. There are large sprawling parks in the area, including the Arroyo Seco Park and the Ernest E. Debs Regional Park. The Southwest Museum (a collection of Native American artifacts) is located in adjacent Mt. Washington. The light rail Metro Gold Line from Union Station to Pasadena (traversing all of Highland Park) is one of the most enjoyable and dynamic public transportation journeys in the city, because of appraisal views offered by the parks, hills and valleys along the meandering route. During a decade and a half of unrestricted overdevelopment (a problem that continues today because of the City of Los Angeles' developer-friendly zoning laws), many of Highland Park's grandest and oldest homes were razed. Witness, for example, Heritage Square: a Highland Park museum started by local activists hoping to save some of the Victorian homes which were scheduled for demolition to make room for gas stations and parking lots. But the first hints of what some would call gentrification sprouted in Highland Park in 1984 when large tracts of the district were set aside for historic preservation under Los Angeles' pioneering Historic Preservation Overlay Zone ordinance. |
