- Melrose District, Los Angeles
-
Melrose District is a commercial and residential community in the Hollywood district of the City of Los Angeles, California.
The term "Melrose District" may be used interchangeably by some with the "Fairfax District" which is a nearby area lacking strictly defined boundaries. However, the Melrose district, a sub-district of the Fairfax district or not, refers to the alternative shops, and restaurants lining Melrose Avenue chiefly between Fairfax Ave, and Highland Avenue, but also as far as La Cienega Blvd. It also refers to its immediate adjacent residential areas.
The designated name at the time of annexation in 1922 by the city of Los Angeles was "Melrose", with boundaries stretching the length of Melrose Ave from East of Highland Ave and extending West of Crescent Heights Blvd approaching La Cienega Blvd. The Southern boundary largely followed Melrose Ave, but extended further South including areas bordered by Fairfax Ave to the East, Rosewood Ave to the South and extending to the West Hollywood boarder past Sweetzer Ave to the West. The Northern boundary followed largely along what is today the City of West Hollywood.
