Los Angeles Officially Gets A New Neighborhood

We love a good neighborhood—and L.A. has a new one! The Los Angeles City Council formally approved the recognition of Hollywood Heights, bounded by the Hollywood Bowl to the north, Highland Avenue to the east, Outpost Estates to the west and Franklin Avenue to the south. 

According to Councilmember Nithya Raman, the neighborhood is situated in what was the northern part of the Rancho La Brea Mexican land grant in the Nineteenth Century. The neighborhood is home to several historic houses and has been home to numerous people in the film and music industries, dating back to the silent film era.

The city council has approved the posting of signs designating the neighborhood.
