Which area/neighborhood do you think has the most potential in city?

I just bought an adorable craftsman in Boyle Heights (well, I am close to closing escrow) and I think that area is going to go up soon. I have a friend who works for the County of LA and she told me that some of the low-income housing there will be replaced with business parks and condos. On one hand, kinda sad to see low-income families pushed out--on the other hand, kinda exciting to see an area that used to be crime-ridden change for the better. And, the houses are still very reasonable. It would have cost me at least twice the amount of $ to have bought the same house in where I currently live, the Pasadena area.

i might have to agree with the culver city suggestion. its definitely a prime location. mostly for transplants tho.

and the suggestions for adams, as well as the commuities along the soon-to-open rail lines are all good. highland park still has the potential. boyle heights might, its seen a more organic revitalization. many professionals who grew up in the neighborhood have come back and opened galleries, bars and boutiques. will this push out the poorer residents? maybe, but it seems that the major difference is that these prodigal children seek to co-exist with the lower income folks. they realize the dynamic and demographic quality of the current residents. boyle heights will change, but not too much.

i think any urban, dense neighborhood with good public trans(rail) will see change... hopefully for the better.

I think Inglewood has tons of potential. It used to be amazing. it is close to the beach, freeways, downtown. With the Hollywood Park Tomorrow project approved, I think revitalization will bring back Inglewood. It is a city that is trying to improve and get on par with the rest of its South Bay neighbors.
