For example the Mosaic District in Fairfax.

Santa Monica seems like what you're looking for. I wouldn't call it European style, I would call it North American style development and density. Dense residential districts some historic, some post war garden units mixed with a growing supply of modern infill all of which is on a street grid. Had rail access, scrapped it, then reconstructed and restored rail service to downtown Los Angeles with the Expo Line.
