Around Manchester Square

Much of Manchester Square is residential housing, so there are plenty of options for those who choose to call this part of Los Angeles home. Manchester Square is made up of mid-sized apartment complexes with a majority of them being less than 20 units and only two stories tall. If you were looking for a more modern, upscale high-rise, your best bet would be in Hollywood or Downtown L.A. There are some single-family homes in the area, but they may have scant availability, as some 57% of residents own their properties.

Few things pair with Sundays as perfectly as football, and now that the NFL has returned to Los Angeles its even more true. Head to the Coliseum to watch the newly minted Los Angeles Rams take the field. After the game, head to the Natural History Museum and stand in awe at the fully reconstructed T-Rex skeleton. There's even a retired spaceship across the street that makes for a great photo opportunity.

Residents in Manchester Square love spending a night out at one of the local bars. Cold cocktails are served with some tasty appetizers and at affordable prices, which are an appealing option for those who want to spend a night away from home without breaking the bank. If you're looking for some variety, L.A. Live has several world-class music venues that regularly showcase some of the best musical acts in the world. Or, if you prefer sports, the legendary Los Angeles Lakers play at the Staples Center, which is only a few short minutes away.

Like its neighboring cities in South L.A., Manchester Square is home to some dense traffic conditions. Its central location ensures that the neighborhood will see more than its fair share of people driving along its boulevards and streets. Avoiding the roads during peak rush hours would serve you well when it comes to minimizing drive times.

If you want to find some of the best BBQ in all of Los Angeles, look no farther than Manchester Square. Perfectly cooked brisket paired with sweet potatoes and greens is the norm, as are ribs so tender that they fall off the bone. Casual dining is the mantra of restaurants here, but that doesn't mean the food isn't prepared with love and care. Mexican food is also very popular in the area. A whole range of options ranging from fresh corn tamales to juicy al pastor tacos can be found in Manchester Square. Pair it with an ice cold craft beer from one of L.A.'s local breweries, and you have a meal that would make any four-star Michelin chef's mouth water.
