Leimert Park (/ləˈmɜːrt/; lə-MURT) is a neighborhood in the South Los Angeles region of Los Angeles, California.

Developed in the 1920s as a mainly residential community, it features Spanish Colonial Revival homes and tree-lined streets.[1] The Life Magazine/Leimert Park House is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.[2]

The core of Leimert Park is Leimert Park Village, which consists of Leimert Plaza Park, shops on 43rd Street and on Degnan Boulevard,[3] and the Vision Theater. The village has become the center of both historical and contemporary African-American art, music, and culture in Los Angeles.[4]
