The Hub Hillcrest Market

Great stores with great service at most of them. A large variety of stores, from dry cleaning to groceries and coffee and fitness.

Starburst in one Ralph stores in another around the corner this is one of my favorite places .I don't go here that much anymore Ralph's a little expensive but If can't find anything in the food for the store which is a sister store at the Euclid avenue marketplace
I'll go here instead they used to have a Starbucks coffee shop here at one time that one went out of business let me call me she's talking about it inside the grocery store now.

The Hub is a great one-stop retail center, with a great selection of modern service retailers. There are several boutique gyms, smoothie bars, restaurants, markets, upscale barbers. Parking was just fine. I got there early. As I was walking through, I was amazed at how clean it was.

In LA, every outdoor covered space is a homeless person's "home". I couldn't help but think "This covered corridor is a great campsite for a hoard of homeless people. They don't even need tents!". But reading the other reviews, I can see how the are homeless people infesting the place at times, but from what I saw, it's 1000 times better than anything you'd see in LA. I don't know what the cause or solution is, but mental illness/drug addiction is a terrible epidemic and it's getting out of hand. Bad for everyone involved. Something needs to change here, and it has nothing to do with the Hub. The infestation is everywhere. It's something systemic we need to address. How and what, I have no clue. But it's time. OK I'm getting off my my soap box now.

2 hour parking is a good thing, to keep things moving here. It's free. I'm surprised there isn't metered parking here. Great plaza for a workout, smoothie, a coffee, a haircut, and groceries.

Located on University Ave. in Hillcrest, The Hub houses Ralph's, Trader Joe's, and a myriad of shops, restaurants and boutique studios.

The parking here is horrendous, extremely tight and provides a deterrent to coming here. Been here a few times and it was hard to find parking, plus we were worried about our car getting dinged. It says parking limit is 2 hrs. here. Minus not 1, but 2 stars for the horrific parking lot!

If parking were better I'd give them a higher rating. But come on, whoever designed this center- what were they thinking???

I like that people are staying healthy nowadays but the Barry's gym are taking too much space like the parking spot & even the Pet relief area, the Hub complex is a pet friendly place & now dog just crap anywhere because the Barry's block the area where dogs can relieve themselves.

Hey I like the Hub, I wish they had one on my side of Hillcrest. Since I watch my GBF's dog when he's at work I bring Lincoln over to socialize him with people and other dogs. They even have a little poop area with fake grass and poops bags. Yass.

The more I come here the more I get to know the regulars and there is wifi from Starbucks.

The parking lot in this center is a death trap. There is never enough parking and more cars circling looking for parking causing congestion. There are soo many areas where cars almost collide because of the pattern and design. Recently all the people that live in the surrounding area have been parking in the lot taking up spaces for customers. At night time there are tailgate parties with all the people that are going to the bars. Again leaving no parking for the customers. I have had to park several blocks away several times and carry my groceries to my car. Even at 11pm

The escalators have not worked for over a year. Now the one elevator that serves the underground parking area is not working for over a week now. How do they get away with this in regards to ADA?

Ralphs, Trader Joe's, Starbucks, gyms... TIP: there's plenty of parking under the Ralphs and also behind the Trader Joes.

The Hub was nominated for an Onion Award....

The "makeover" of the former Uptown District" shopping center (a.k.a. Ralph's shopping center) at 10th & University is apparently working hard at earning an "Onion" award. Mismatched wall murals, some of them outright hideous, a tragic attempt at modern sculpture using bright yellow i-beams sticking out of the cement outside Starbucks, a barely discernible "HUB" logo in white-on-white, all contribute to the feeling of this having been "designed" by an eighth-grader for a science project.
Key to uploaded image:
1. White on White signage disappears into the wall
2. Quasi-religious imagery on a bank??? And I didn't notice the wrap-around HUB logo on the upper corner until after I got home.
3. Yellow I-beam "trees" and benches to sit out in the glaring sun.
4. One of the most hideous murals EVER.
