Hollywood Hills, CA Real Estate

The Hollywood Hills, part of Los Angeles, extends from the Los Feliz District and Hollywood, on the south side of the San Fernando Valley, to Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu and Pacific Palisades. The area includes Mulholland Drive, Beachwood Canyon, Laurel Canyon, Nichols Canyon and Mount Olympus.

The best-known landmark of the hills, as well as one of the best-known landmarks of Los Angeles at large, is the Hollywood sign. The famous sign can be seen from many places in and around the City of Los Angeles. You cannot get onto the property itself, because there is a locked gate, security cameras and Park Rangers. The locked gate keeps people out and those who are adventurous enough to ignore the gate will be seen by either the security cameras or a Park Ranger.

The most famous part of the Hollywood Hills is the area above the Sunset Strip, which is dotted with the mansions of the rich and famous. Hollywood Hills above the Sunset Strip is home to the highest concentration of celebrities in Los Angeles. Homes in this neighborhood are typically $1,000 - $1,500/per square foot, making it the most expensive cost-per-square-foot average in all of Los Angeles, exceeding Beverly Hills and Bel Air.

Homes in Hollywood Hills are very expensive, very exclusive mansions which sprawl all over incredible acreage. If it has always been your dream, though, to live in Hollywood Hills, you may be surprised to learn that there a number of apartments, mostly one-bedroom, one-bath units, for sale or rent in that area.

The Los Angeles Unified School District serves the Hollywood Hills area. The two high schools in the area--Beverly Hills High School and Hollywood High School, are known for its celebrity children--both child stars and children of the stars.
