Silver Lake, Residential neighborhood in Los Angeles, US
Silver Lake spreads across hills surrounding a central reservoir, featuring tree-lined streets, modern houses, and independent businesses along Sunset Boulevard.
The neighborhood, established in the early 1900s around a water reservoir named after Water Board Commissioner Herman Silver, housed Walt Disney's first animation studio.
Independent music venues, art galleries, and local theaters throughout Silver Lake contribute to Los Angeles' alternative arts scene and entertainment industry.
The neighborhood offers multiple transportation options with bus lines connecting to Vermont/Santa Monica Metro station and dedicated bicycle lanes on major streets.
The Silver Lake Steps, a network of outdoor public staircases decorated with murals, connect different sections of the hillside neighborhood.
