Glassell Park, Los Angeles, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glassell Park is a neighborhood district in northeast Los Angeles, California. Glassell Park is a community incorporated by the city of Los Angeles.
Glassell Park is bordered by Atwater Village and the Los Angeles River on the west, the city of Glendale on the north, Eagle Rock on the northeast, Mount Washington on the southeast and Cypress Park on the south. While somewhat indefinite, the district's boundaries are roughly the city of Glendale on the north, the Los Angeles River on the west, Division Street on the south, El Paso Drive and York Boulevard on the east. Major thoroughfares include Eagle Rock Boulevard, San Fernando Road and Glendale Freeway.
Glassell Park is one of Los Angeles's older neighborhoods, having developed rapidly in the early 20th century along the northern section of the Los Angeles Railway's "5" line, built in 1907, which formerly ran in the median of Eagle Rock Boulevard. [1] Today it is largely working class, Latino, white, and Filipino. Glassell Park has benefited from (also victimized by) the Southern California real estate boom that began in the early 2000s. The community has seen an influx of middle-class families moving into the neighborhood, attracted by its abundance of Craftsman homes and relatively low prices.
Glassell Park has two elementary schools Glassell Park Elementary School (which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in early 2007) and Fletcher Drive Elementary School.
