Living in the Hollywood Hills for Cheap

Perhaps that title is a misnomer – real estate in the Hollywood Hills is not cheap, by any means, but by no means either are homes in the Hollywood Hills priced unreasonably as well.  The trouble is that it’s the biggest home sales that get the most attention.  And I may be guilty of doing that myself on this blog.  The homes that go for 20 or 30 million are just awe-inspiring.  The reality, though, is that there are plenty of homes five million dollars and below, with real estate in the Hollywood Hills available for under 1 million.

That last fact is something that surprises a lot of people, as they think the Hollywood Hills are the top echelon of Los Angeles real estate – even above real estate in Bel-Air.  The truth is that the Hollywood Hills are far more varied than a neighborhood like Bel-Air, which doesn’t have houses beneath a certain price level.  In this way, the Hollywood Hills are similar to a neighborhood like Brentwood – a place that can have fantastically lavish homes a few miles from a small two-bedroom house.

Hollywood Hills is similar and it’s a mistake to think of the “Hollywood Hills” as one central entity.  It’s actually a very varied region with large-scale mansions and smaller hillside homes.  Given the fact that homes in the L.A. basic can go for a million dollars, there’s no reason to think that a home in the Hollywood Hills is automatically out of your price range, because it may not be – but it will have a better address with more privacy and a better view than many other expensive neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
