Welcome to West Hollywood
A bustling urban center of creativity and nightlife
Famously one of the most vibrant areas of Los Angeles, West Hollywood is nestled in a central location surrounded by Beverly Hills, Hollywood Hills, and Hollywood itself. A hub of activity that draws more than just tourists, West Hollywood is home to creatives, sunseekers, and anyone seeking an exciting lifestyle surrounded by culture, glitzy nightlife, and more hidden gems than meets the eye.
What we know as West Hollywood today blossomed from a trade route that connected Hollywood to ranches that dotted the coast. That trade route became known by a very famous name: Sunset Boulevard. Now, Sunset Boulevard is the heart of West Hollywood, bringing together all types of people in a city iconic for its modern sensibilities, gorgeous home architecture, and energetic life.
Brimming with an exclusive appeal, the architecture of West Hollywood makes already-scenic views all the more attractive. Lined by trees despite an urban locale, the city’s architecture brings a unique elegance to the area. Breathtaking historic hotels, the surrounding Runyon Canyon, and unique single-family homes work together to create this hubbub of life and culture.
