With tree-lined streets, buried utility wires, and car traffic minimized near schools, Leimert Park was hailed as a model of urban planning. It’s state-of-the-art design features attracted homebuyers and over the course of several decades, Leimert Park became known for its authentic Afro-Caribbean cuisine, poetry jam nights, and its hip hop scene.
