At first, I did not understand why Silverlake was gentrified before east Hollywood. But then I assumed it was because, Silverlake was a hilly area, and thus people gravitated to those homes. Does that make sense??

according to a friend who lives in the venice/mar vista area, gentrification along lincoln blvd and venice blvd is well underway.

Nicer, better homes and yes hills. Plus its always been a nicer area than East Hollywood so it didn't have as far to go.

I think the OP's list is pretty good. I'd say the Fashion District, Elysian Valley, Lincoln Heights, Chinatown, and Westlake North/South Echo Park/Historic Filipinotown.

silverlake is also home to a number of architectural homes and a lake view, which can't be said of east hollywood.

Gentrification of Venice Blvd. in Mar Vista is a fully done deal.
Lincoln's well underway as BRinSM says. So is Santa Monica Blvd. in West LA.

My very simplified rules for LA-style gentrification:

The area has to be relatively affordable and:

• Be urban in some way and/or
• Have access to Metro Rail (not Metrolink)

With that in mind, I would say Lincoln Heights, Boyle Heights/ELA, Chinatown, East Hollywood, and Leimert Park are next on the gentrification list.

The grittier parts of west LA will continue gentrification as tech continues to move in but I think it's going to be quite a below before you see anything in East LA. Although the proximity to downtown is a big plus from a work perspective, the area is still very rough in many parts.

It's a real shame that a lot of these hillside communities like Lincoln Heights which have sweeping views of downtown LA and beyond became gang havens. You still have some beautiful Victorian in the area which are remnants of a time before everything went to hell. There is a lot of potential in these areas but it's going to take quite a while.
