Why We Love Jefferson Park   Jefferson Park is located just South of the Santa Monica freeway between Crenshaw and Western Avenue. It’s a small neighborhood in South LA of only 1.28 square miles, but it is dubbed as the “soul of the city” because of its strong sense of community among its residents.   The neighborhood began as one of the wealthiest areas of Los Angeles, which is why there are so many architectural wonders to be found lining the streets. Through the last century, Jefferson Park has continued to attract an eclectic mix of residents who have brought unique businesses, great food, and a mix of cultures. It’s the perfect community for people looking for a great centralized location with a unique history.   The Architecture Of Jefferson Park   One of the standout features of Jefferson Park is its gorgeous historic homes. The area is a mix of Edwardian and Art Deco homes from the turn of the century, but the most prominent style to be found are Craftsman-style bungalows. These craftsman homes often have original woodwork, wrap-around porches, unique built-ins, and stained glass features.   If you are a fan of craftsman architecture and want to find a one-of-a-kind home, this is the perfect neighborhood to find a home.   The Benefits Of Living In Jefferson Park   Beyond all the stunning homes, there are so many benefits to living in Jefferson Park. First of all, the neighborhood is still affordable, with homes averaging 27% less than comparable homes in other neighborhoods. You will get more for your money. Secondly, the location is ideal.
