Hollywood Hills

Luxury living is more than an elegant, stately home in Hollywood Hills.

Welcome to Hollywood Hills

A private and stylish neighborhood perched above Los Angeles.
 
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.

People and Lifestyle

Hollywood Hills has a good mix of young professionals, seasoned executives, and families along with members of the rich and famous. Many residents enjoy hiking at Runyon Canyon for exercise or joining the Mulholland Tennis Club for tennis and swimming. Because the properties are often secluded and tucked away, neighbors are friendly but not overbearing — you might not encounter them often. However, there is a close-knit sense of community pride in The Hills, and residents take care of the area very well.

Dining, Entertainment, and Shopping

There are some fantastic shops and restaurants in the Hollywood Hills area. Sunset Plaza hosts a bevy of eateries and stores like Tocaya, Sushiya, The Butcher, The Baker, The Cappuccino Maker, Equinox, Badgley Mishka, DryBar, Le Petit Four, and Chin Chin. For a special night out, Providence has two Michelin stars thanks to its impeccable seafood dishes. 

Nearby West Hollywood is the home for fantastic nightlife at the many bars and live theater at Pantages or The Hudson Theatres. Sunset Boulevard is home to famous bars and nightclubs like The Viper Room, The Rainbow Room, and The Roxy Theatre, which will delight any music fan.

Things To Do

There is no shortage of things to do in the Hollywood area, and there is truly something for everyone here. For the outdoor lover, Griffith Park or Runyon Canyon has great hiking trails and views of the city, while Griffith Observatory is a fun and educational place to take kids for the day. In nearby Brentwood, The Getty is an expansive art museum designed by Richard Meier with a range of exhibits and classes. For a unique concert experience, The Hollywood Bowl is an amphitheater carved into the cliffs of Los Angeles and hosts major artists in the summers and fall. 

Chateau Marmont is a great place for a staycation or a night out on the town and is steeped with rich Hollywood history. In the summers, there are many outdoor movie screenings on the rooftops in town as well as at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

Schools

There are public schools in the Hollywood Hills area, though some families opt to go “over the hill” for private schools. Hollywood High School is a public school in the heart of the city with a strong performing arts program, while Immaculate Heart Middle and High Schools are private Catholic schools for girls grades 6-12. Friends of West Hollywood Elementary and Hollywood Elementary are two great public offerings in the area, while Hollywood Schoolhouse hosts kids from Pre-K to 6th grade. 

Harvard-Westlake is the area’s premier private school for grades 7-12 and is just over the hill in Studio City — it’s considered the city’s most competitive college preparatory school.
