The Neighborhood

Country Club Park is a generally upscale district of Art Deco bungalows and apartment buildings. It was developed from the 1910s onward as a whites-only neighborhood, but now has significant populations of blacks (particularly in Lafayette Square), Asians (near Koreatown), and Latinos (throughout the district but especially in Mid-City), making it one of the city's most diverse areas. Some of the district's more affluent neighborhoods are quasi-gated communities, with access from the major thoroughfares barred by wrought iron fences. In general, Country Club Park serves as a buffer or transition zone between the wealthier neighborhoods to the north and west and the poorer areas of South Los Angeles. In 2004, Los Angeles magazine ranked Lafayette Square as one of its "Ten Most Overlooked Neighborhoods in Los Angeles," bringing greater attention to a part of the city rarely visited by Westsiders and suburbanites.
