"Up-and-Coming"

We moved to Pico-Union from Downtown LA due to more affordable housing. I purchased a duplex three years ago and can not be happier with the decision. Its about 10 minutes walk to LA Live, 15 minutes walk to Target, Ralphs, Whole Foods, varies restaurants, bars etc. We are a middle/middle upper class family with kids and needed outdoor space. Considering the majority prefer to rent rather than own properties, it is the best place for a landlord to invest near DTLA.
