"The Hollywood Hills , an unofficial designation of part of the City of Los Angeles, California , are part of the eastern section of the low transverse range of the Santa Monica Mountains , which extends from the Los Feliz District and Hollywood , on the south side of the Valley , to Pacific Coast Highway , Malibu and Pacific Palisades . The Hollywood Hills form the north barrier of the Los Angeles Basin . There has been extensive residential development in the Hollywood Hills since the 1920s . The area includes Mulholland Drive , Beachwood Canyon , Laurel Canyon , Nichols Canyon and Mount Olympus and is dotted with the mansions of the rich and famous. Traditionally, the designation "Hollywood Hills" comprised the hill neighborhoods north of West Hollywood and Hollywood proper and excluding the more westerly neighborhoods. However, in recent years the meaning has expanded to include areas such as Benedict and Coldwater Canyons. Probably the best-known landmark of the hills is the Hollywood Sign .The Hollywood Hills has been mentioned in various movies and television shows including Mulholland Drive and the 2005 movie Cursed . It is home to many stars including Paul Reubens , Britney Spears , Alex Band , Tom Green , Avril Lavigne , Anthony Kiedis , John Frusciante , Christina Aguilera , Tom Leykis , Rob Dyrdek , Stephanie Miller , Chris Boykin , Justin Timberlake , Eric Koston , Kevin Smith , Paris Hilton , Tila Nguyen , Andy Taber, and Matthew Lush".

Los Feliz:
"Los Feliz , also Rancho Los Feliz ("Feliz Ranch") is a district of the City of Los Angeles, California , named for its land grantee José Vicente Feliz. [1] It lies north of East Hollywood and just south of the Santa Monica Mountains , adjacent to the neighborhoods of Hollywood and Silver Lake . It is home to the southern face of Griffith Park , which includes the Griffith Observatory and the Greek Theatre . Los Feliz is bordered by Hollywood on the south, Hyperion Avenue on the southeast, Griffith Park on the north, the Los Angeles River on the east, and Western Avenue on the west. It is traversed by Los Feliz Boulevard. Los Feliz was home to many early movie studios, including the first Disney studio (now a Gelson's supermarket) and D. W. Griffith 's studio; it currently is home to The Prospect Studios (formally known as First National-Warner Brothers and more recently ABC Television Center), at the intersection of Prospect Avenue and Talmadge Street. On Sunset Boulevard was Monogram Pictures (currently KCET public television) where early Charlie Chan movies were filmed, "Hurricane" starring Dorothy Lamour and the camp classic " Johnny Guitar " (the western street from that movie remained until the mid 1980s when KCET razed the set to make way for a much-needed parking structure--but they threw a huge studio-wide party there on its final days). The neighborhood has historically been home to movie stars, musicians, and the Hollywood elite. It boasts some of the best known residential architecture in the city, including two homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright , Ennis House and the Hollyhock House , and Richard Neutra 's Lovell House . The 6,647-acre (27 km²) Rancho Los Feliz , one of the first land grants in California, was granted to Corporal José Vicente Feliz . An old adobe house built in the 1830s by his heirs still stands on Crystal Springs Drive in Griffith Park, named for Colonel Griffith J. Griffith, who donated over half of the rancho to the city of Los Angeles, which became one of the largest city owned parks in the country. Other sections of the rancho were developed and became the communities of Los Feliz and Silver Lake". Source: Wikipedia.org

The area is residential, and generally affluent, boasting very well-kept homes set on the hills east of Los Feliz Village. Franklin Hills is also home to Shakespeare Bridge , a small charming bridge on Franklin Avenue eastbound past Talmadge St. that links Franklin Avenue between two tall steep hills. To the east of the bridge begins The Franklin Hills Public Stairway system which provides a pedestrian link between the curvy streets, a series of 14 staircases originally built in the 1920's to provide hillside homeowners pedestrian access to the trolley lines below. On Talmadge street lies the Prospect Studios . Opened in 1915 as the Vitagraph Studio, the legendary lot later became the Warner Brothers Studios East Hollywood Annex, then home of the ABC Television Center and local affiliate KABC , finally becoming part of the Disney Corporation in 1996, which owns and operates it to this day. Brothers Roy and Walt Disney both owned homes at the corner of Lyric and St. George during the late 1920's so that they could walk to their first animation studio, located a few blocks away at Hyperion and Griffith Park Blvd. Franklin Hills is within the zip code of 90027".

Bronson Canyon:
"Bronson Canyon is a location in Griffith Park , California that has become famous as the setting for an astounding number of movies and TV shows filmed throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, especially westerns and science fiction . Its picturesque setting and remote (but easily accessible) location has made it a prime choice for filmmakers who want to place their stories in a "wilderness" setting. Originally named Brush Canyon, the famous hill and cave setting is on the western side of Griffith Park. In 1903 , the Union Rock Company founded a quarry for excavation of crushed rock, used in the construction of city streets. The quarry ceased operation in the late 1920s , leaving the caves behind. The caves, known as the Bronson Caves, gave the area its more popular name of Bronson Canyon. Scenes filmed in Bronson Canyon for motion pictures and TV shows have always been filmed in a manner that shows the cave entrance at an angle. This is because the cave is actually a very short tunnel through the hill; it opens up on the other side of the hill after a short distance. The most well known appearance of the cave in Bronson Canyon is likely as the Batcave in the Batman television series of the 1960's". Source: Wikipedia.org. United Hollywood Neighborhood Council

Nichols Canyon has two large year round water falls over 100' high, and several natural and man made small water falls. The two larger falls are the only natural water falls in the City of Los Angeles. The stream that flows through the bottom of Nichols Canyon attracts coyotes, deer, raccoons, skunks, rabbits and other wildlife. Hawks can often be seen circling the area as well. Home to many celebrities throughout the years, Nichols Canyon is a favorite jogging and cyclist road. Nichols Canyon was named after John G. Nichols who served as mayor of Los Angeles, California between 1852 and 1853 and again from 1856 to 1859. He was a businessman and a builder who lived in the first brick house to be built in Los Angeles, and he was the first mayor to expand the city.

Laurel Canyon:
"Laurel Canyon is a canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles , California . It was first settled in the 1920s , and became a part of the city of Los Angeles in 1923 (prior to then, it was an unincorporated part of Los Angeles County ). Much like Topanga Canyon , community life is focused on its central thoroughfare, Laurel Canyon Boulevard . Unlike other nearby canyon neighborhoods, Laurel Canyon has houses lining one side of the main street most of the way up to Mulholland Drive . There are many side roads that branch off the main canyon, but most of them are not through streets, reinforcing the self-contained nature of the neighborhood. Some of the main side streets are Mount Olympus, Kirkwood, Wonderland, and Lookout Mountain Avenue. The zip code for at least part of the neighborhood is 90046. Laurel Canyon is an important transit corridor between West Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley , specifically Studio City . The division between the two can roughly be defined by the intersection of Laurel Canyon and Mulholland Drive. In early 2005, the first section of the road on the Hollywood side was partially washed away in a heavy rainstorm, and traffic was redirected to a normally quiet residential side street".

Outpost Estates:
"Outpost Estates is a canyon neighborhood of Hollywood and the Hollywood Hills in the central region of the City of Los Angeles, California . It is located directly east of Runyon Canyon Park and centered around Outpost Drive. It is one of the original 1920s Hollywood luxury residential neighborhoods in the heart of Old Hollywood. Most of the original houses have been preserved, and Lower Outpost looks much like it did in the 1920s. [1] The origin of the name "Outpost" derrives from an early building on the site. General Harrison Grey Otis , the owner of the Los Angeles Times, acquired the estate from Don Tomás through legal wrangling associated with California's scession to the United States. Near Casa Don Tomás, Otis built a clubhouse on the property for entertaining which he called The Outpost [2]". Source: Wikipedia.org. Outpost Estates Homeowners Association

Hollywood Dell:
"The Hollywood Dell is a residential neighborhood located in the Hollywood Hills section of Los Angeles. Technically, it is in The Hollywood Hills East, as it is on the east side of the 101 (also known as the Hollywood Freeway ) , through before the 101, this area was one with Whitley Heights and considered part of the original Hollywood Hills. The generally accepted borders of "the Dell" are east of Cahuenga, north of Franklin, West of Argyle and South of the Hollywood Reservoir. It is fully encompassed by zip code 90068. The Hollywood Dell is so named because it sits "in" the hills that are just above commercial and tourist popular Hollywood , and opposed to being on top of the hills. In general, you will go down to get into the dell, and up to get out of it. The roads within the dell are mainly hilly and many homes are built on hill side lots. With it close proximity to the Hollywood Bowl , it is a popular free parking area for concert goers. Concert Parking is probited for such purposes, and a number of entries are guarded. However, locals who know their way around though can get into the neighborhood and contribute to a problematic overcrowded parking situation on concert nights. Typical residences in the Hollywood Dell are single family dwellings with a heavy influence of Spanish Colonial Revival Style architecture . There is also an active homeowners asscoiation, with voluntary dues, named the Hollywood Dell Civic Association. Their online presence can be found at Hollywooddell.com". Source: Wikipedia.org.
