Los Feliz Real Estate
Spanning the gap between Hollywood and Griffith Park, Los Feliz is an eclectic hillside enclave that contains historic mansions, craftsman bungalows and charming apartment buildings.
Popular with up-and-coming creative types, the area is host to a vibrant culinary scene, a fabulous mix of locally owned boutique retail shops, and easy access to the sprawling hiking trails of Griffith Park, making it an awesome neighborhood for pedestrians.
Los Feliz was the home of Walt Disney when he first conjured up a vision of the characters that launched his entertainment empire. Buena Vista Street, the entrance to California Adventure is modeled after 1920’s Los Feliz.
Los Feliz is home to iconic Frank Lloyd Wright creations including Ennis House. Other world renowned modern architecture masters such as Richard Neutra, Raphael Soriano, Edward Fickett, and Rudolph Schindler have examples in Los Feliz.
For the rest of us, we have many architectural choices, including Mediterranean, Mid-Century Modern, Spanish, Country English, French Norman, Craftsman, and Bungalow.
You Work In Hollywood, Why Los Feliz?
Los Feliz is a low key hamlet with a small town feel that just so happens to be enclosed within the city limits of the second largest city in the US. There are no skyscrapers here. Just tree-lined streets, excellent walkable restaurants and a fabulous local boutique scene.
Nestled into the hillside just below Griffith Park, there is easy access to plenty of nature, which is somewhat uncommon if you live in an apartment in other parts of Los Angeles or the San Fernando Valley.
Then there is the close proximity to Hollywood. You don’t have to take my word for it. Just ask Leonardo DiCaprio, Eva Mendes, Megan Fox, Steven Soderbergh, Brad Pitt, Casey Affleck, Kristen Bell, Joe Jonas or James Cameron. They are among scores of celebrities in the music and motion picture business that reside in Los Feliz. Seems like a great place to live if you are “in the business.”
