LA river renovation and the revitalization of Cypress Park

[Mario F.]

Hello, I've been looking into buying a property in Cypress Park mainly because of what's been going on with the LA River and the potential it brings to the area. Is anyone familiar with Cypress park and the areas surrounding the restoration of the LA River project?  I've heard that there will be huge potential in coming years and wanted to see what you guys thought.  Will it be that big of a deal?  Or is it just hype?  

Thanks
