Living next to LA's Museum Row in Miracle Mile

Miracle Mile is a Central Los Angeles neighborhood in the Mid-Wilshire area. It was originally developed as a shopping district, but today it’s a convenient place to live, with access to public transportation, dining and world-class museums. In terms of housing, you’ll find some historic single-family options and a growing selection of multifamily properties.

Where to shop and eat around Miracle Mile

Depending on where you live in Miracle Mile, you might be within walking distance of Target, Trader Joe’s or The Grove, a luxury mall. At Eighth Street and La Brea Avenue, you’ll find trendy hangouts like Met Her at a Bar, a hot spot for brunch. All Season Brewing Company is also in the area. “It has games and a really great selection of beers on tap,” says Cesar Leyva, a Realtor with Avenue Homes who has lived in LA for about 20 years. “It used to be a Firestone garage, and they left the sign up and kept a lot of its cool character.” Little Ethiopia and Koreatown are nearby as well, adding even more dining options.

Miracle Mile housing options and costs

Miracle Mile has a variety of home styles, including well-preserved Spanish Colonial Revivals from the early 1900s, midcentury ranch-style houses and an increasing number of multifamily options. “That area has really experienced a lot of growth,” Leyva says. “There are a lot of multifamily projects still in the works. We have a huge push for more housing.” Early 1900s cottages and midcentury ranch-style houses sometimes sell from the mid-$800,000s to around $1.5 million, but the majority of homes range from $1.5 million to $4.5 million. Units in multifamily buildings generally run from the upper $500,000s to just over a million, plus monthly HOA fees of $300 to $700.

Central LA living without as many parking issues

Miracle Mile is part of Central LA, but you won’t have as much trouble finding parking here as in Downtown LA or many other central neighborhoods. Private driveways line the wide residential streets, and most condo buildings have underground garages. Leyva says major thoroughfares tend to be more congested. “They have a lot of businesses and multifamily buildings, and some of the properties geared toward more affordable housing have been allowed to waive the parking requirements.”

Museum Row is a major attraction

One of Miracle Mile's biggest attractions is Museum Row, which lines Wilshire Boulevard. Hot spots include:

  • La Brea Tar Pits & Museum, where you can see dire wolf fossils and stroll past the tar pits
  • Los Angeles County Museum of Art, home to art from around the world
  • Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, where you can learn about filmmaking through interactive exhibits
  • Petersen Automotive Museum, which has racing simulators and rare cars
  • Craft Contemporary, where you can learn to make art or get inspired by other people’s creations

The La Brea Tar Pits in Miracle Mile are renowned for well-preserved Ice Age fossils.

Car travel and Metro subway access

One of the perks of living in the area is the easy access to public transportation, including several bus lines. With the D Line expansion, subway travel is also becoming more convenient. Miracle Mile’s central location simplifies car commutes as well. “You’re about 20 minutes from everything — downtown, Culver City, Century City and Hollywood,” Leyva says.
