Sunset Strip Homes

Probably the most well known section of the West Hollywood area is the one known as Sunset Strip. Sunset Strip is not only a haven for historic homes and activities, it is the center of night life for the Los Angeles area.

Sunset Strip, made famous by the Sunset Boulevard, which starred Gloria Swanson, has been the stuff legends were made of. The actual boulevard begins in Los Angeles and winds its way through Hollywood, only becoming the Sunset Strip when it arrives in West Hollywood.

While the Sunset Strip was legendary in the past for celebrity living and the counter-culture lifestyle, more and more it has become an area that is sought after for residential life. Increasingly, the Sunset Strip is also being used for offices and corporate headquarters, particularly those which cater to entertainment. It has also become a home for several very high-end hotels.

The Sunset Strip area has become more than just a Mecca for those who want the exciting night life, but rather, a sort of addition to the Beverly Hills crowd, with it’s upscale offices and hotels.

The homes on Sunset Strip are part of the legend, with many of them being remarkable for their architecture and history, such as the Chateau Marmont. Sitting like a jewel in the crown of the Strip, the hotel, which was built to look like a castle, was modeled after a chateau in Paris. The hotel has played host to some of the biggest names that Hollywood has to offer. Still used by celebrity visitors today, the Chateau is part of the history of the Sunset Strip.

Homes on the Sunset Strip today are available at about three-quarters of the price that they once commanded, due in part to the higher unemployment that California is currently experiencing. If you’re looking for property on the Sunset Strip, there has never been a better time to buy than now.
