Hollywood Real Estate
Hollywood Real Estate
This guide to Hollywood real estate covers the Hollywood neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles, California. It does not cover West Hollywood, which Wikipedia describes as a city in Los Angeles County and says has never been part of Hollywood or the City of Los Angeles. It does not cover the Hollywood Hills either: Wikipedia’s Hollywood Hills article lists Hollywood to the south of the Hills and gives Franklin Avenue as their southern boundary. Wikipedia’s disambiguation page lists Hollywood, Florida, a coastal city in Broward County, as a separate place.
Read on for the neighborhood’s history, Hollywood Boulevard, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Capitol Records Tower, getting around, parks, shopping, the library and schools, and free address lookups. Current prices, rents, schools and weather follow, each with its source and date. Hollywood is one of the communities in the Central Los Angeles section of this site.

Why The Score Is 18
Hollywood ranks among the lowest on Price Growth and Rental Demand, and below the middle on Rent Growth. The score is the average of the three.
It is not a rating of Hollywood, its people or its schools, and it does not measure affordability. A higher or lower number only shows how these three housing-market numbers compare with other communities.

See how this score is calculated
The Housing Market Score compares this community with the other Los Angeles-area communities this site covers (the San Fernando Valley, the Westside, central Los Angeles and the Santa Clarita Valley). It is a resource for anyone comparing areas: buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, investors and developers. A community with more than one ZIP code uses all of them: each ZIP code’s home values and rents count in proportion to its number of homes (the Census Bureau’s home counts), and the empty rentals and rental homes of all of them are added together. Each measure is turned into a rank from 0 to 100, then the ranks are averaged. A rank of 89 means the area is ahead of about 89 out of every 100 others on that measure. The bar below the score splits the 0 to 100 scale into four ranges (0–25, 26–49, 50–79 and 80–100). Selecting a range shows what it looks like for a buyer, seller, tenant, landlord or someone looking to invest, and the same four names label each measure bar. Price Growth is the change in Zillow’s typical home value over the last 12 months. Rent Growth is the change in Zillow’s typical rent over the last 12 months. Rental Demand is how few rental homes sit empty, from the Census Bureau’s rental vacancy rate (fewer empty rentals ranks higher). If a measure has too little data for an area, it is left out and the score says how many measures it used. The score describes housing-market numbers only. It is not a rating of the people or the neighborhood, and it is not investment advice.

A Short History Of Hollywood
According to Wikipedia’s Hollywood article, Harvey H. Wilcox purchased 120 acres on February 1, 1887, and it was not until August 1887 that Wilcox decided to use the name Hollywood. The article says Hollywood was incorporated as an independent municipality on November 9, 1903, and was consolidated with the City of Los Angeles on February 7, 1910, following a referendum.
It says the city voted for a merger with Los Angeles in order to secure an adequate water supply and to gain access to the L.A. sewer system, and that a majority, but not all, of Prospect Avenue would be renamed Hollywood Boulevard.
