About Brookside
Brookside is a tucked-away historic neighborhood of 1920s homes just west of Hancock Park, named for the brook that once ran through it. Its quiet, tree-lined streets make a pleasant free stroll.
Harold A. Henry Park, the Memorial library branch and the green of Los Angeles High Memorial Park sit nearby, with the museums of the Miracle Mile a short distance south.
