Hi Vista is an unincorporated community in northeastern Los Angeles County, California, United States. Unlike most of the Los Angeles area, Hi Vista is a quite rural and mostly undeveloped community with a total population of 1,046 people, as of July 01, 2015. Hi Vista is sometimes confused with being Lancaster because both communities use the same zip code of 93535.
