Hollywood and the Hollywood Hills Neighborhoods

25 neighborhood guides for sellers and buyers.

Hollywood stretches from the Hollywood Hills and the canyons along Mulholland down through the Boulevard, Franklin Village, Spaulding and Sunset Squares, Melrose Hill, Thai Town and Little Armenia, bordered by Los Feliz, Hancock Park, the Fairfax District and West Hollywood. The housing is the most varied in the city: 1920s Spanish and storybook homes in the flats and HPOZs, mid-century and contemporary view homes in the hills, and a large condo and loft market along Hollywood Boulevard and the Yucca Corridor. The Malcom Group's Hollywood office at 6200 Hollywood Blvd sits in the middle of it.

Hollywood seller questions

What is the difference between Hollywood and the Hollywood Hills?

Hollywood is the flat and foothill district around Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards; the Hollywood Hills are the canyon and ridge neighborhoods above it, from Laurel Canyon and Nichols Canyon east through Outpost Estates, Hollywood Heights, Whitley Heights, the Dell and Beachwood Canyon to the Los Feliz line. Hills homes trade on views, lot usability and architecture; flats homes trade on walkability, lot size and HPOZ character.

Which Hollywood neighborhoods are HPOZs?

Whitley Heights, Spaulding Square, Sunset Square, Melrose Hill and Hollywood Grove are Historic Preservation Overlay Zones, and the Hollywoodland Specific Plan governs Beachwood Canyon. Exterior changes in an HPOZ need review, buyers pay for authenticity, and Mills Act contracts can cut property taxes on contributing homes.

What should Hollywood Hills sellers do before listing?

Resolve open permits, document retaining walls and any geology work, clear brush to fire code, confirm fire insurance availability for the buyer, and gather drawings for any addition. Then market the view and the architecture with twilight photography and video. Hillside buyers are specific, and the right presentation is what reaches them.
