While Lincoln Heights has had a reputation of gang violence and not as proper as other Los Angeles neighborhoods, "The Hills" and Lincoln Heights Estates is nicknamed " LA's best kept secret." The Hills is connected with the estates and go under a small valley behind Montecito Heights. Many hills in the area have no trees and dry grass. This part of Lincoln Heights also encompasses a good portion of the white population. The area also shows amazing panaromic views from the entire city.
