More than just a place
Perhaps most recognizable as the location of the drama-filled 1990s nighttime soap opera "Melrose Place," the Melrose neighborhood is also known as the one-time hub for the LA punk scene in the 1980s and a magnet for musicians and artists over the last few decades. While many of the neighborhood's artist residents have moved further east to Silverlake and Los Feliz, Melrose still retains a coolness factor you can't find in most other parts of LA, along with a location that can't be beat. "The location is great. No matter where you work in LA — Beverly Hills, downtown, Culver City — your commute won't be too bad. And you're close to everything on Melrose Avenue," says Matt Tilley, also known as "The British Bloke” on his YouTube Channel, Realtor with First Team Realty. “It’s a fun, trendy area.”

La Brea shops and restaurants
The coexistence of old and new can be found outside of the residential streets of Melrose, too. Locals can go to La Brea Avenue to find Jet Rag vintage and second-hand clothing next to designer Rick Owens's LA location. More deals at the Melrose Trading Post. Located in the parking lot of Fairfax High School, the Trading Post hosts dozens of vendors selling one-of-a-kind merchandise, from vintage clothing to home goods and everything in between. For weekend errands, Sprouts is conveniently located on La Brea Avenue for all organic grocery needs. Target is just one block further north at La Brea Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard, along with Ulta and Starbucks. Melrose offers a dizzying array of dining options along Melrose Avenue, from Indian cuisine and barbecue to sandwiches and sweets. Stop into Ghost Sando Shop for a Santa Monica sandwich – pastrami, turkey, bacon, pepper jack cheese and slaw on their signature Dutch toasted roll – then head to renowned pastry chef Christina Tossi’s Milk Bar for a slice of their famous Birthday Cake complete with rainbow sprinkles. Those looking to grab lunch or a late-night snack at a Hollywood landmark can head to Pink's on La Brea Avenue for a hot dog. Since 1939, hungry patrons wait in an infamously long and slow-moving line in front of the restaurant to get a taste of one of their signature hot dogs.
The Melrose Trading Post takes place every Sunday on in the parking lot of Fairfax High School
