Sun-drenched beaches. Snow-capped mountains. Mild climate. Weekly movie premiers at the world's greatest theatres. Great dining and entertainment. The thing that makes L.A. unique is its remarkable diversity of neighborhoods and living environments. Every kind of setting is available; from urban high-rises to beach bungalows to cliff side overlooks to palm-tree lined suburban streets. Despite the city's vast size, there always seems to be room for individuals to feel they have their place; a local café or bustling nightclub or quiet garden to call their own.

If the 'American Dream' is being able to live the life you want and to have a real diversity choices about where and how and where you live and work, then perhaps Los Angeles is the most American city of all, and one of the most invigorating and rewarding places to live on earth.

The city of 3.5 million sprawls across 467 square miles of desert basin, mountain canyons, and coastal beaches. If there was one word to describe Los Angles it would have to be diverse; for diversity is not only a characteristic of Los Angeles' geography, but it also describes the approximate 11 million people who call it home. The largest population of Pacific Islanders in the nation lives here, as well as the world's third-largest Hispanic population.

Los Angeles is home to people from over 140 countries speaking 96 different languages. Attractions in this city are numerous and varied. There are more than 2,000 museums, galleries, theaters and other attractions in Los Angeles.
