Located in sunny Southern California in Los Angeles County, West Hollywood is a 1.9 square mile city situated between glitzy Beverly Hills on the west and funky Hollywood to the east; a destination often referred to as the “playground of the stars” due to its entertainment industry influences and its southern-position at the base of the Hollywood Hills, a hilly area dotted with celebrity homes. West Hollywood’s central location truly makes it the essence of all things ‘hip and happening’ and having just celebrated its 23rd year of official city-dom, a young city as well, adding to the progressive and creative nature of City Government, residents, and visitors to the area.
West Hollywood is comprised of a distinct variety of neighborhoods for such small square mileage and a population of 39,000. Think you can’t walk in LA? West Hollywood is the only walkable city in LA; you can move easily from Sunset Boulevard to Santa Monica Boulevard’s gay and Russian communities, and south to the Avenues of Art & Design District, and you may spot several celebrity homes along the way. Combined, West Hollywood’s unique history, venues, and energy create a community atmosphere unlike any other.
