City West, Los Angeles

City West, also known as Central City West, is a name sometimes given to refer to the eastern edge of the neighborhood of Westlake in Los Angeles, California. The term is often used by residents, newspapers, and developers, as part of an attempt to include the area immediately west of the 110 Freeway[1] as a part of Downtown Los Angeles. Although City West is occasionally considered either part of or an outlying area of Westlake or Echo Park, its high-rise skyline mimics the adjacent Downtown Financial District more than any other surrounding neighborhood.

The area has also been called the "New Jersey of downtown LA," though residents don't actually refer to it as such. [2]
