Sunset Boulevard

The areas around Los Angeles have some of the most idyllic topography in the Western United States. Properties in the hills of Hollywood and Los Feliz afford their residents views of the Pacific Ocean, mountains and skyline. There aren’t any other destinations that come to mind, in such a desirable climate, that offer such an array of scenery. The changes in elevation around the Hollywood Hills and Los Feliz make for property lots of varying shape and depth. Creative architects have turned many of these lots into the foundation for houses with walls of windows and outdoor living space.

Houses in the hills, though often covered with windows and open areas, offer an amazing level of privacy. Much of the land in the hills is still thick with trees and brush. Houses placed on the side of a mountain or hill, facing in the same direction, encourage residents to take in the views rather than the sides of neighbors’ buildings. Many big city suburban developments don’t afford the same kind of space and security found in subdivisions around Los Angeles. There are endless opportunities throughout the hills to locate a property with the desired affect. Some houses offer the ocean, some the city, some the mountains, and others boast views of all three. The weather in Los Angeles is a huge draw, but it wouldn’t be nearly as appealing without properties that promote enjoyment of the sunshine and ocean breeze. A lot of house hunters searching in suburban L.A. place as much emphasis on view as they do design or style.
