The neighborhood was one of the first planned communities in Southern California, named after developer Walter H. Leimert in 1928. Regarded as a model for urban planning, with car traffic near schools minimized, utility wires hidden from view and characterful tree-lined streets, the community affords residents the opportunity to cherish a friendly small-town environment while maintaining proximity to major employment hubs such as Culver City and Downtown Los Angeles. New developments and improved mass transit options within the city have lately drawn an influx of high-income young professionals to the area. Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza has been approved by the city to undergo a major transformation. Owner Capri Capital Partners, which is marketing the project for sale, has lined up entitlements for a mixed-use complex boasting 941 condos and apartments alongside a 400-room hotel and new offices, restaurants and retail space. In addition, LA Metro’s new Crenshaw Line is expected to be completed in 2021, and will extend from the existing Exposition Line down to LAX. Named one of the top 10 places where L.A. home prices have increased most, according to Curbed Los Angeles as recently as December 2019, the area has seen the median sale price of homes jump 118% over nine years, growing from $334,42 in 2010 to $730,000 in 2019. Serving the area’s increasingly affluent resident base, the city’s main artery is getting an overhaul of trendy boutiques and restaurants, poising the neighborhood to be a premier South L.A.

Abstract Bounded by mountains and freeways, the culturally-rich, working-class community of Pacoima faces a legacy of environmental degradation and historical injustice. Power plants, landfills, toxic release sites, lead contamination, freeways, and a municipal airport create a powerful cocktail of airborne and ground soil pollution, causing substantial impacts to community public health. Through the State’s Transformative Climate Communities Program (TCC), Pacoima received a historically significant amount of capital for green infrastructure investments. The Green Together Collaborative secured a $23 million TCC grant in 2018 to implement urban greening and streetscape improvement projects in Pacoima and Sun Valley.

  • Destination Crenshaw” to Obama Blvd Proposal Will Nearly Double Scope of Project
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: February 13, 2019 Sophie Gilchrist Office of City Council President Herb J. Wesson, Jr. [email protected] 213-473-5765 Wesson Expands “Destination Crenshaw” to Obama Blvd Proposal Will Nearly Double Scope of Project Los Angeles—Los Angeles City Council President Herb Wesson announced plans on Tuesday to expand the innovative Destination Crenshaw Project celebrating African-American culture north to Obama Boulevard from its current terminus at West Vernon Avenue. Wesson’s legislation calls for plans to be developed to engage Destination Crenshaw, the non- profit organization spearheading the project, in the necessary visioning, planning, and design studies that would be required to extend and expand this important cultural project. “The Crenshaw corridor is the hub of our City’s rich African-American history and culture,” said Wesson. “It is only fitting to expand Destination Crenshaw, a project chronicling this rich history and culture, north to Obama Boulevard in honor of our first African-American President.” The motion was seconded by Marqueece Harris-Dawson, the Councilmember from Council District 8, whose district houses the current plan, and will be voted on by the full Council next week. If passed, the Council President’s motion would nearly double the length of the plan. Currently the project is planned to run for 1.3 miles, flanking the Crenshaw Boulevard corridor of the new Crenshaw/LAX Line through Hyde Park. The Destination Crenshaw project is a community-inspired open air art and cultural experience, designed to be a living celebration of world class contributions of Los Angeles’ African- American community.
