8 Hot Food Trucks in L.A. Neighborhoods |
Posted: March 27, 2020 |
Los Angeles is great for many reasons: weather, mountains, beaches, forests, star gazing (both celestial and movie), and delicious food trucks in just about every urban suburb. Though food trucks are known to be travel from neighborhood to neighborhood, many visit the same areas consistently to gain a following. When food trucks are popular in a neighborhood, it promotes a sense of community, as well as attention from outside the area. Nowadays, when showing real estate, agents promote the prominence of food trucks the same way they boast about school districts. Utopia Management, experts on property and neighborhoods in LA, shares with us these 8 food trucks that have earned stellar reputations. Cousins Maine Lobster – Chinatown
Los Angeles’s Chinatown is nestled to the north of downtown and densely-stocked with bars, noodle restaurants, coffee shops, and parks. Most of their residents are renters, many of these family-oriented, and a great majority considered liberal. Because of its close proximity to downtown, it’s a prime investment location, one of few areas where single-family homes can still be purchased for less than 300k. Kogi BBQ - Eagle Rock, Griffith Park, Studio City
Eagle Rock is northeast of downtown and carries the reputation of being hip and laid back. Populated with cool diners, more than a few family-run Italian joints, and a retro bowling alley, it attracts young professionals, most of which own their homes or are looking to buy. However, because it is also the location of a liberal arts college, there may be opportunity for property owners looking to rent to students.
Let’s Be Frank - Culver City
This high-end hot-dog stand calls Culver City home. Though Culver City is known mostly for making movies, it does have a huge foodie scene, which includes gastropubs and bars. Those living in this area also enjoy galleries, theaters and nightlife activities, and because of this it is populated with liberal young professionals. Comprised mainly of single-family homes and condos, there are new developmental investments on the rise, which means more opportunity for those seeking to invest. Mariscos Jalisco - Boyle Heights
Historic Boyle Heights is a multi-ethnic area east of downtown L.A. An affordable neighborhood loaded with coffee shops, bars, and restaurants, Boyle Heights appeals to families, many of which rent. This might make it a good place to invest in a rental since it’s likely that the unit would never be empty. Prince of Venice - Santa Monica
This Italian food truck frequents Santa Monica, which is a beachfront area located on the west side of L.A. Attractions include the Santa Monica Pier, the aquarium and of course, the beautiful coastline. Also, because of the bike sharing program they launched in 2015, many are moving to the area to take advantage of avoiding driving in L.A. If you are thinking of investing in a property in Santa Monica, you will be thrilled to learn that the average apartment rents for about $3300. Cha-ching! The Rooster- Mar Vista
It goes without saying, that breakfast food trucks don’t get nearly enough credit. The Rooster, which also has a Venice location, spends its Sundays at the Mar Vista Farmers Market. Much like Culver City, Mar Vista residents tend to be young professionals who appreciate all the shopping, dining, and parks the area has to offer. The great thing about Mar Vista though is that it has a high population of renters, which is what makes it an ideal investment location. Steamy Bun Truck - Downtown
Downtown L.A. is much like Chinatown, dense and urban with a litany of bars and restaurants (and food trucks) to choose from. There are also plenty of coffee shops, parks, and entertainment opportunities to keep its young professionals occupied. Not surprisingly, most downtown residents rent, and with median house ranges under 300k, it’s worth a look in regards to investing. El Chato Taco Truck – Mid-City
Mid-City is yet another liberal area of central L.A. It sits about halfway between downtown and the ocean, and it’s a great place for those who love the Arts and Crafts pre-war bungalows and Spanish colonial style houses. As more and more families are looking for larger homes with yards for children and pets, Mid-City is becoming a favorable option. High-end coffee shops, street vendors, and restaurants with live music are just a few of the attractions. Though lack of parking is definitely a con, many folks living in this area are commuters who rent. The downside to this for those looking to invest is that the median home cost is around 600k.
