Kinney Heights, Los Angeles

Kinney Heights is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California, bounded by Arlington, 23rd, Adams, and Hermosa (originally Gramercy Place), just south of Interstate 10. Kinney Heights is a subdistrict of the West Adams district of South Los Angeles, California; Curbed also associates it with Jefferson Park.

Before it was subdivided the land was owned by General Hanford Gordon Lennox. The area was developed in 1899 by developer Abbot Kinney, for whom it is named. It was a suburban tract of large Craftsman style homes at what was then the western edge of Los Angeles. The homes featured amenities like "beveled-glass china cabinets, marble fireplaces and mahogany floors". It was accessible to downtown via streetcar and attracted upper-middle-class families. At least one house in the neighborhood had a carriage house built on the property.

Many of the hundred-year-old homes are still standing and have been renovated and upgraded. The neighborhood is part of the West Adams Terrace Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ). Neighboring subdistricts included Gramercy Park, Adams Place, and Berkeley Square.

The Williams Andrews Clark Library is located in Kinney Heights.
