Good news, West Hollywood renters, the city of West Hollywood is putting big money into its new park behind the Pacific Design Center. Curbed LA has the scoop on three new proposals for the park that include a swimming pool, basketball courts, and more.

If you’re looking for apartments in and around West Hollywood, check out our available apartments page.
