Silver Lake Los Angeles|Munson-Montejano Realty

Silver Lake Los Angeles is one of my favorite Los Angeles Neighborhoods. I love it’s hip, trendy and culturally diverse energy and its wide variety of shopping, culinary and social experiences.

Some of my personal favorite dining spots include: “Cliff's Edge”, “Gindergrass”, “Silver Lake Wine”, “Madame Matisse”(for breakfast), “Dusty's”, “The Desert Rose” in Los Feliz, “Masa” in Echo Park for great deserts & Chicago style pizza and of course “Two Boots” for their great Louisiana style pizza.

And let’s forget the eclectic night life scene and all of the neighborhood coffee houses such as Intelligentsia for coffee.

Part of Silver Lakes charm is its somewhat windy and hilly streets and of course its namesake reservoir, Silver Lake Reservoir which is composed of two basins, with the lower named Silver Lake and the upper named Ivanhoe. The lower body of water was named in 1906 for Water Board Commissioner Herman Silver, and in turn lends its name to the neighborhood. The upper body received its name after the 1819 Sir Walter Scott novel Ivanhoe (source Wikipedia)

As someone who is passionate about architecture, I really appreciate the variety of home types including craftsman, Spanish style and contemporary homes and buildings you will see throughout the Silver Lake-Echo Park and adjacent neighborhoods.

Silver Lake adjacent neighborhoods include: Atwater Village, Echo Park , Mount Washington, Glassell Park, Eagle Rock and Los Feliz.
