Arlington Heights, Los Angeles, California

Arlington Heights is a residential district in the Mid-Wilshire region of Los Angeles, California. It derives its name from Arlington Avenue, which runs north-south through the heart of the district.

Geography

The district's boundaries are Crenshaw Boulevard on the west, I-10 on the south, Arlington Avenue on the east, and Pico Boulevard on the north. It is bordered by Country Club Park and Koreatown on the north, Harvard Heights on the east, Jefferson Park on the south, and Mid-City on the west. The principal thoroughfares through the district are Venice Boulevard and Arlington Avenue.

The Neighborhood

One of the older districts in Mid-Wilshire, Arlington Heights was until recently a predominantly upper-middle-class, African-American area. Today, like neighboring Jefferson Park and West Adams, it has become largely Latino, as many African-Americans have emigrated into suburban communities in the Antelope Valley, and San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. Nevertheless, Arlington Heights still has a sizeable African American population.

An elementary school carries the name Arlington Heights, centrally located within the area.
