Fairfax Avenue

Fairfax Avenue

Fairfax Avenue is a street on north central Los Angeles, California. It runs from La Cienega Boulevard (which separates the Westside from the central part of the city) with Culver City at its southern end to Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood on its northern end.

Fairfax Avenue forms the western boundary of Hancock Park as well as Park La Brea, an 160-acre (0.6-km²), 4,222-unit apartment complex with over 10,000 residents. [http://www.latimes.com/classified/realestate/printedition/la-re-guide23may23,0,1036326.story?coll=la-class-realestate]

Since World War II, the Fairfax District has been a heavily Jewish neighborhood. Fairfax High School, on the corner of Fairfax and Melrose Avenue, was known as the alma mater of many entertainment industry personalities. Canter's Deli has been a late night hangout in Los Angeles since the 1940s. CBS's Television City is located on the corner of Fairfax and Beverly Boulevard, the former site of Gilmore Stadium, where the minor league baseball team, the Hollywood Stars, used to play prior to the Dodgers moving from Brooklyn. World-famous recording studio, Cherokee Studios, home to over 250 gold and platinum recorders, is just above Melrose Avenue.

The Grove is off 3rd Street and Fairfax. Due to the volume of high density attractions, Fairfax is one of the most congested streets in Los Angeles. Little Ethiopia is further south by Olympic Blvd. South of Olympic, Fairfax narrows to two lanes.

Metro Local 217 and Metro Rapid 780 are bus lines that serve Fairfax Avenue.
