Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles
Where Architecture Meets the Sky
The Hollywood Hills have been a magnet for creative visionaries, entertainment industry leaders, and architecture enthusiasts for over a century. Rising above the Sunset Strip and stretching from Laurel Canyon to Griffith Park, the Hills reveal an eclectic tapestry of architectural styles — from Richard Neutra's modernist masterpieces and Frank Lloyd Wright's textile block houses to daring contemporary compounds that seem to float above the city.
What draws people here isn't just the jaw-dropping views — though those alone are worth the price of admission. It's the energy. The Hills have a creative pulse that's palpable, a legacy of the artists, musicians, and filmmakers who have called these winding roads home since the golden age of Hollywood.
The Bird Streets
Perched above the Sunset Strip, the Bird Streets (Oriole, Thrasher, Nightingale, Blue Jay, and Robin) are among the most coveted addresses in the Hollywood Hills. These streets offer some of the most spectacular views in all of Los Angeles — sweeping panoramas from the downtown skyline to the Pacific Ocean. The area has become a hotspot for ultra-modern architectural homes, with many featuring walls of glass, infinity pools, and rooftop decks designed to maximize the extraordinary vistas.

Laurel Canyon — The Creative Heart
Laurel Canyon holds a special place in music history. In the late 1960s and '70s, it was home to Joni Mitchell, Jim Morrison, Frank Zappa, and the members of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Today, the canyon retains its bohemian charm with rustic cabins, mid-century homes tucked into lush hillsides, and a village-like atmosphere centered around the Laurel Canyon Country Store. It's a quieter, more intimate alternative to the Bird Streets — perfect for those who value character and creative heritage.
