Home to LA's Museum Row
The stretch of Wilshire Boulevard between Fairfax and LaBrea and its surrounding areas are collectively known as the Miracle Mile. The neighborhood is home to Museum Row, the famous tar pits and enough historic Art Deco structures to warrant a walking tour. “This is a coveted area and popular with people who maybe want to live on the West Side but can’t afford it, so they move a little east,” says Christie’s AKG agent Jose Prats, the brokerage’s director of character homes. “LA people are looking at price, and Miracle Mile is a little less expensive than somewhere like Beverly Hills.”
A handful of restaurants
Known as LA’s Museum Row, the LA County Museum of Art, the Oscars Museum, the Korean American Museum and the Petersen Automotive Museum are among the many offerings. Despite the embarrassment of museums in the area, there's a lack of locally-owned dining spots. “There are a few in Miracle Mile, but Hancock Park, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Mid-City; that’s where all the restaurants are,” Taylor says. There are several national chains in the neighborhood, including Starbucks, Chipotle, Five Guys and Einstein Bros. Bagels. Shopping for necessities is done on nearby La Brea Avenue, which has a Target, CVS, Trader Joe’s and a couple of popular local toy stores.

Proximity to The Grove
Although Miracle Mile is not the shopping destination it once was, its walkable proximity to The Grove is an absolute selling point. One of California’s most popular malls, The Grove is a sprawling shopping center and entertainment destination with fashion-forward stores like Nordstrom, lululemon and Gucci, and pop-up shops that are always coming in and out. Open 365 days a year, The Grove has a theme park atmosphere and looks more like a movie set than the average shopping center. It’s particularly picturesque around Christmastime, with artificial snow falling in the evening and Santa mixing it up with the kids. Free to ride, the double-decker trolley was built from a repurposed Boston streetcar from the 1950s and runs the length of the mall to the Original Farmers Market.

Regular neighborhood events
Miracle Mile is brimming with activities and annual events. The TarFest Music & Art Festival at the La Brea Tar Pits has been going on each September for almost two decades. Each year, dozens of artists, vendors and food trucks come together for residents to enjoy. The Miracle Mile Small Business Stroll is a community event that allows locals an opportunity to congregate and support small businesses. An incredible event venue that has hosted The Oscars, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures promises regular exhibitions and space for film screenings. Each Friday from the spring through the fall, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art hosts Jazz Nights featuring well-known soloists and group performers.
The Miracle Mile Farmers Market is every Tuesday from 11am-3pm.

Natural area around the tar pits
Landlocked in an urban jungle, Miracle Mile isn’t known for its abundant green space. Wilshire Green Park is a meticulously landscaped slice of West 8th Street with a walking path, lush foliage, a gazebo, a pocket playground and a turtle pond with koi fish. The most prominent natural area is the land surrounding the La Brea Tar Pits, the world-famous paleontological research and excavation site that has produced millions of fossils. “It’s not right in the neighborhood, but you’ve got Pan Pacific Park a few blocks north next to The Grove, which is the nicest big park in the area,” Taylor says. Situated on about 30 acres, the park has a playground with dedicated spaces for kids of all ages. The park is also home to the Pan Pacific Senior Activity Center, the Fairfax Branch Library and the Los Angeles Holocaust Museum.

Spanish-style cottages
The historic homes in Miracle Mile are generally mid-size stucco cottages from the 1920s and ‘30s, with an average price tag of $2 million. There are Spanish-style houses with arched windows and clay-tile roofs and chateau-like Hollywood Regency homes with elegant front gardens and slate-tiled roofs; most have driveways, garages and patios, and some have private pools. There are also multistory condo buildings throughout the 20th century, where a two-bedroom unit averages $875,000 (plus a monthly HOA of about $600). The residential streets are sometimes wide and always lined with sidewalks; palm trees soar high above shrubs and small trees, with views of glassy office buildings in the distance.

Public and private school options
Families with children in Miracle Mile are served by Los Angeles Unified, an above-average public school district with a B-plus grade from Niche. Kids can start their education at Hancock Park Elementary, an A-minus school with an A in diversity. There are 35 countries represented among the students, and 31 different languages are spoken. Above average with a B grade from Niche, John Burroughs Middle is a walkable community school. Established in 1873, Los Angeles High School is a C-plus school with an A-minus in teachers. The school is known for dozens of notable alumni, including George Takei, Mel Torme and Dustin Hoffman. "Given the price point in the neighborhood, many residents send their kids to private schools," Prats says. Shalhevet High School is the eighth-best Jewish school in California, according to Niche, which gives it an A grade.

Uniquely walkable
Uniquely walkable in a notoriously unwalkable city, residents or Miracle Man can get around largely on foot, according to Peter Kinnaird, an agent with DPP Real Estate. “Location-wise, it’s close to everything, including downtown Los Angeles,” says Kinnaird. Regarding public transportation, there are bus routes along Wilshire, West 8th Street and W Olympic Boulevard. The Wilshire/Fairfax station was still under construction in mid-2024, and it will eventually link to the greater Metro Rail system. “This area can be trafficky at times, especially during rush hour when people are cutting through on Wilshire,” Taylor says. The neighborhood is situated between Santa Monica Boulevard and the 10, which connects to the broader metro area. Miracle Mile is about 15 miles north of Los Angeles International Airport, though the drive can take over an hour, depending on traffic.
