Although located in the city of Los Angeles just eight miles northeast of downtown, Eagle Rock has a suburban feel. Described by the Los Angeles Times as the “the latest ‘it’ neighborhood,” Eagle Rock is being transformed by a wave of new coffee houses, hip restaurants, art galleries and stores.
At Occidental, you are just minutes away from the theaters, museums and restaurants of downtown Los Angeles, including the new Disney Hall. Clubs and residence halls frequently organize trips to attend plays and sporting events, visit museums, theme parks, and shopping districts. Many beaches are within an hour’s drive; skiing and Palm Springs are two hours away.
