Atwater Village feels like a small town within a really big city. This highly diverse neighborhood in the 13th district of Los Angeles, California mostly lies in the fertile Los Angeles River flood plain. Close to downtown LA, and encircled by Silver Lake, Glendale, Glassell Park, and Los Feliz, the enclave has a well-balance down-to-earth vibe with an affinity for upscale fashion-forward shopping. The area has become popular among families, who enjoy farmer markets by day and chill eateries by night.
