Hollywood Hills

 

Perched amongst the winding roads and overlooking the city of Los Angeles sits the Hollywood Hills, or “The Hills,” as locals have nicknamed it. Few neighborhoods in California hold the glamor, prestige, or history of The Hills.

 

The Hills, as we know them today, began as a neighborhood development called Hollywoodland (which is what the Hollywood sign used to read!) in 1923. The Hollywood Hills developed into the home of movie stars and housed many of the Los Angeles musicians of the 1960s and 70s. Laurel Canyon in particular was heavily saturated with up-and-coming artists and singers such as Frank Zappa, Jim Morrison, Carole King, The Byrds, The Eagles, Neil Young, Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork of The Monkees, and many more.

 

Nowadays, The Hills boasts some of the most exclusive and sought-after homes in Los Angeles county with unparalleled views and secluded properties. With a central location and world-class dining and shopping, it’s easy to see why locals fall in love with this neighborhood and never want to leave.
