Homes For Sale In Eagle Rock
Eclectic history and quaint community come together in this diverse and highly sought-after neighborhood.
The History
First established as Eagle Rock City in 1911, the community is named for a large boulder that bears a natural indentation which resembles an Eagle in flight. Eagle Rock saw substantial growth and development during the early part of the 20th century, and was officially annexed to the City of Los Angeles in 1923. Over the years, Eagle Rock has evolved as both an enclave for artists, creatives, intellectuals, and social reformers, as well as a desired neighborhood for young families looking for an eclectic and laid-back community to call home.
The Community
Mid-west meets west coast in Eagle Rock. The friendly, small-town vibe of the community feels reminiscent of America’s heartland, while the lush greenery and soaring palm trees remind you you’re just a short drive from the SoCal coast. You’re sure to find yourself chatting up a neighbor or making a new acquaintance while out walking your pup or sampling the fresh java at Swork Coffee. Eagle Rock has become the ideal landing spot for young families who are looking for a cozy community that embodies the diversity and artistry NELA is known for. Alluring Craftsman, Spanish Revival, and Mid-Century homes and architecturally significant structures like the Eagle Rock Recreation Center visually narrate the history and evolution of this sought-after neighborhood.
