🌴 Understanding LA Geography

The Arts District feels nothing like Beverly Hills, even though they're 20 minutes apart. Pick your neighborhood based on vibe, then use transit or ride-share.

Pro tip: Traffic is real, but the Metro is expanding fast. Each neighborhood page has transit info built in.
