Los Angeles is famous for several reasons, including its year-round sunshine, well-known celebrities, and sprawling beaches. For those who are familiar with living in the city though, it’s also common knowledge that Los Angeles has some of the nation’s worst traffic, along with expensive and oftentimes nonexistent street parking.

If you’re a car owner and a homebuyer searching for a great LA neighborhood to live in, parking considerations should be top on your list. However, in a city where easy street parking is difficult to find, where do you start?

While there’s no neighborhood in LA that offers completely empty streets, here are four neighborhoods in Los Angeles where parking isn’t too much of a hassle.

Hollywood Hills

Surrounded by nature and relatively isolated from the traffic of the city is the laid-back neighborhood of Hollywood Hills. Although there are several areas that allow visitors into popular nearby recreational areas, such as Runyon Canyon, the majority of this mountainous neighborhood is upscale and residential.

As a homeowner, there are several things to know before buying a home in Hollywood Hills. Many people move here because of the community’s generous parking availability and the neighborhood’s overall serenity. Keep in mind that even though parking is easier to secure in this neighborhood compared to most places in Los Angeles, it might still be tough to find if you’re close to Sunset Strip.

Laurel Canyon is a great community located within Hollywood Hills that offers ample street parking for both homeowners and their visitors. However, no-hassle parking in this neighborhood comes at a hefty price—the median home price in Hollywood Hills is a whopping $1.4 million, according to Neighborhoods.com data.

Playa Vista

The Westside neighborhood of Playa Vista was empty land, but over the past decade, developers have flocked to the area and built new housing and businesses. Despite experiencing a lot of traffic during peak work hours, this new neighborhood offers plenty of parking throughout the day, depending on which part of town you’re in. Most of the shopping and retail areas come with free garage parking as well.

For homebuyers interested in living in a tranquil neighborhood with easy access to master-planned communities and beaches, Playa Vista may be the right choice for you. The community features spacious, newly constructed luxury residential complexes, but there are single-family homes available as well.

The median sale price for homes in this neighborhood is nearly $1.2 million. Since Playa Vista is still a fairly new community, it’s still creating its neighborhood identity. For now, residents can enjoy stress-free parking wherever they go.

Larchmont

Known for being the smallest neighborhood in Los Angeles, Larchmont is a charming and affluent community. This neighborhood is so tiny that it’s often overlooked by homebuyers and even some locals, despite being located in the heart of Los Angeles.

Even during peak traffic hours, visitors and locals can still easily secure parking, whether it’s street parking or Larchmont Boulevard’s free lot. There’s usually plenty of parking available in the residential areas as well. Homeowners in this neighborhood love the community’s overall close-knit vibe, streets filled with welcoming boutique shops, specialty coffee shops, and of course—the neighborhood’s weekly farmers market.

With streets filled with impressive single-family homes, the median sale price in this tiny neighborhood is approximately $1.3 million. Larchmont is also adjacent to the family-friendly community of Hancock Park, which offers its residents free parking with a permit.

Mid-City

A neighborhood that’s experiencing a lot of growth right now is the centrally located community of Mid-City. According to Curbed Los Angeles, home sales in Mid-City shot up by 32 percent last year, which means more people are moving to the neighborhood to buy their first home.

Although living in Mid-City offers residents the benefits of being close to many popular neighborhoods, there isn’t much in the immediate vicinity, and it isn’t exactly considered pedestrian-friendly. However, this aspect of the neighborhood might be a blessing from the parking gods. Without many retail stores located nearby, most parking in town is dedicated solely to Mid-City residents and their visitors.

There’s a variety of homes available in the community, from single-family homes to townhomes and condominiums, with the median sale price hovering around the high $900s.
