Results for “hollywood hills”

Many of the neighborhoods are inspired by areas in and around Los Angeles: Springfield Heights (Hollywood Hills), Crackton (Compton), Little Bangkok (Thai Town), Bumtown/Junkieville (Skid Row), and Waverly Hills (Beverly Hills, complete with Weezer-esque song). There’s a movie/television studio (Krustylu Studios), a hilltop observatory, a gay district, a concert shell, and even a waterside shopping street much like Third Street Promenade (South Street Squidport). Many celebrities from Rainier Wolfcastle to Betty White live there.

Aren’t most of the hills around here on a fault line? The San Andreas and Raymond Faults in particular. Even if that doesn’t put them more at risk, I would certainly think it would give them at least the same risk factor. Perhaps due to the difficulty inherent to building on hills, they were somewhat over-engineered to begin with. How did houses in the Hollywood Hills due during the Northridge quake? Anybody know?

Boy, that is harder to assemble than I woulda thought!

@Nico Valentino: I don’t know how long you lived in Hollywood or what your point of reference is, but that building and the area is not dumpy. Just one block up is Franklin. You are also in walking distance to the Thai business community on Hollywood Blvd, Ralphs, and the subway. Of course North is Griffith Park and the scenic vistas of the Hollywood Hills.

You can buy a nice house in the Hollywood Hills for $1.5 Million, easily, and be 5 to 10 minutes from restaurants in Hollywood, West Hollywood, and Studio City. Just saw an amazing mid-century house on WOnderland Park last week for $1.4 Million, with a pool, on a very nice street full of similar homes. A house like that in San Francisco would sell for something like $5 Million these days. The real estate market up there is annoying.

Downtown sucks. Why would anyone want to make LA into New York? Here in LA, you can live in the Hollywood Hills and be 5 or 10 minutes from many world-class restaurants in Hollywood, West Hollywood, and Studio City. And you can have a yard an a pool. Part of the allure of LA is the weather and "indoor/outdoor" living. Why live in a condo in DTLA? That makes no sense.

In 2014, I went house shopping in several neighborhoods North and South of Los Feliz Blvd. Prices for something that was the same size as what’s presented here (minus the pool) were going for about $500k to $700k. $1.35 Million in Atwater is a hard pill to swallow. I think home owners in this area are listing their properties with Hollywood Hills prices and are actually getting offers. Who would have thunk!?

But would he be livin’ in Beverly Hills today?

way way way overpriced. you can get a much larger home in the hollywood hills with a pool for that. Take it with a grain of salt – after all it is listed with Rodeo Realty – they will take any listing at any price. huge waste of time for the listing agent unless the seller absolutely needs to sell.

The mid-century in Hollywood Hills last week blows this one away and is (was) half the price. The interior of Roger Miller’s place is typical tract-home fare for the Valley, in terms of design and quality of construction. For this price I would expect a custom built home and an LA, Westside or Pasadena location.
