Very impressive, indeed. Well-designed homes in traditional styles and well-laid-out front gardens. It's such a relief to come across a neighbourhood that is not blighted by ostentatious monstrosities and to see substantial, dignified, and harmonious homes. The Historic Preservation Ordinance has certainly done its job.
Lovely neighborhood. The biggest mistake Beverly Hills has made is not having an architectural overlay zone like Hancock Park, etc. All those beautiful homes that have been demolished and replaced with faux McMansions and those big box houses is a shame. Even thouigh some of the original ones were dated and woefully inadequate, the newer creations lack the charm and craftsmanship of the past.
I live in Beverly Hills and I absolutely agree. There have been attempts to establish an HPOZ here but it’s been a lost cause. Every time I see an old house for sale I can pretty much guess what its fate will be.
@@ene1818 Thank you for your comment. So sad about the failed attempts to establish an HPOZ in Beverly Hills. While I admire the Bauhaus movement, etc.,.and there are some contemporary designs that are so well done. It's just so sad when certain neighborhoods in B.H. begin to look more like an industrial park when compared to Hancock Park.
When living in L.A., I used to drive around this neighborhood to get a taste of New England for which I was so homesick. It is lovely and always lifted my spirits.
@@tima4929 mountains aren’t flat. It has the coastline, mountains, beaches, and deserts the other commenter talked about. Not liking Texas doesn’t mean these things don’t exist. Some people think California is gross, it’s why people are leaving, but the comments about it features are still true.
@ItsCoolToBeKind291 All cities throughout the US & world have areas for the affluent. The mansion in the "Home Alone" movie is north of downtown Chicago while the most sought-after properties for the wealthy in cities like NYC tend to be in highrises or fancy row-type properties in London or Paris. Tokyo's elite residential areas reflect the more modest nature of its affluent. As for LA, its weather, terrain, land-use patterns and showbiz history make it different. However, certain upper-income areas in southern Europe look like clones of LA, but they're generally not near major cities
California used to be a wonderful place in which to live. I grew up on the Palos Verdes Peninsula and later lived in Irvine, from where I moved years ago. I now live in waterfront splendor just outside a tranquil, safe, clean, friendly, uncrowded Northwest mountain-lake resort town with spectacular scenery and endless recreational opportunities.
Also from Palos Verdes was in the first graduating class of PV high in 1963 great place to growup. Became a banker and restored a beautiful queen Victorian mansion just off Orange Grove in Pasadena, love to have those wonderful times back.
Forty years ago, I attended a meeting in one of these homes for our organization. Interior was very impressive, especially the kitchen. First time I ever saw oversized double doored stainless-steel refrigerators.
I'm head over heels for all things Hancock Park. I've read up and watched every video about the place and I must say this is the first time seeing many of these homes.I love the fact they can never be demolished,only added to from pushing out the rear of the house..Just beautiful,,make more please! Thank you..❤❤
Within the Greater Wilshire Hancock Park area there are three fairly well defined neighborhoods: Hancock Park, Larchmont Village, and Windsor Square. The area is attests to Los Angeles’ sprawling degrees of history, character, affluence and charm. Hancock Park and Larchmont have remained stylish without being hipster, quaint without being too cutesy and affluent without pretention. With a negligible border between them, Hancock Park and Larchmont Village embody the perfect balance of culture, cuisine, architecture and the community ambience. Before there was such a thing as the ‘west side,’ Hancock Park was home to the Hollywood elite-and it still packs a serious celebrity punch. Bordering Hollywood and K-town, this exclusive neighborhood hosts some of the most impressive mansions in L.A. and its sprawling green lawns and quiet streets make for the perfect lazy Sunday drive. Let’s go explore.
here is what Siri says. The Tudor Revival style The Tudor Revival style was perhaps the most popular revival style of the 1920's across America, so despite it's seeming inappropriateness for Los Angeles, it was indeed popular here as well. Kauffman was prolific, and was one of the most important architects of the period.
@@hollywoodambience I just did a little research on this enclave. Way back in my late twenties my girlfriend then and I loved walking around Hancock Park, we were the Mid Wilshire riff Raff.
I lived in a neighborhood very much like this one in Seattle. It is called Mt Baker. The homes were built from about 1890 to 1930. A mix of architectural gems like these, superbly preserved and landscaped, and perched above Lake Washington. Worth a drive through, and walk along the lake if you are ever in Seattle.
thank you for watching. Here is another video I just uploaded of some more beautiful houses in Hancock Park. th-cam.com/video/G_k1_NauPPA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=b_TXeTjs89w3m_E0
What is the fanciest neighborhood in Pasadena? Linda Vista is a neighborhood in Pasadena, California. It is one of Pasadena's wealthiest neighborhoods, and its largest by area. It is bordered by Oak Grove Drive to the north, Colorado Boulevard to the south, the Pasadena-Glendale border to the west, and Linda Vista Avenue to the east.

….yes, you’re correct about Beverly Hills. It shows what money can’t do. As for Hancock Park, yes it’s lovely. However, when the riots happen, it suffers. I well remember 1994. We’re due for another the rate we’re going. Poor LA. Its halcyon days are long over. Remember the 1980’s? Remember that generation who are now all long gone? The days of 72 Market, and the Heinsbergen’s, when every on felt rich…not just the rich. There was hope in the air. The greatest Mayor of all was Tom Bradly. These houses are beautiful though, but I see no life, no children. I’m reminded of mausoleum’s now…..
I graduated from Evergreen State College and there was a humble man in my class who said he lived in this part of LA. I didn’t think much about it since I have only been to LA once. I do recall he drove a Range Rover so he must have been a rich kid. He was tight lipped about anything money related. Edited: fixed the typos

This is all in Windsor Square, definitely not Hancock Park, which is the adjacent neighborhood. I'm quite familiar with both--different developers, periods, and architecture. Great quality videos, I like hearing the ambient sounds. The AI thumbnails are out of place--they're interesting, but are misleading, since they don't exist.
I remember walking around a nice area like this and thinking would'nt it be nice to live in such a good area with all the nice well brought up folks .when a posh car drew up and a hansom guy in a suit got out and crossed the road i glanced down at his car number plate and it had kkk on it oh silly mind i have but as i passed his car i glanced inside and hanging from his inside drivers mirror hung a kkk pendant. changed my mind about living there then.
I was 12 in 7th grade when I walked through this beautiful neighborhood where Nat King Cole lived from my family’s 6 unit apt building off Wilshire Blvd my dad built in 1952 to go to my junior high school with Natalie Cole’s sister Carol aka Cookie. That was in 1957. If I took the bus my eyes would burn and water from all the smog in LA.
It’s nice to see that at least a few of the homes have tried to use water wise landscaping. Hopefully more of these homeowners will ditch their massive lawns. Great work capturing these beautiful homes! Thank you for sharing
@@hollywoodambience Hey, thanks! The neighborhood is wonderful.What amazes me is how these houses, just like classic old cars in California, seem to be in such wonderful condition. Of course, their owners have the $$ to keep them up..but there's something more. The weather in Los Angeles is really nice, no frost heaving (perturbs bricks, mortar, terra cotta, cornices, roof tiles) etc. Never been west of the Mississippi in my sixty-eight years. Here in the Northeast the weather really takes its toll on older structures. In any case, they sure don't build them like they used to.
I remember the 1st time I came upon this neighborhood in 1993. I almost had a Heart attack. I got robbed once within its corridor back in 1993 walking home from a club. There are several homes I dream about owning on several streets. I was just in LA back in Oct of 2023 and of course I had to drive through it to just look at the splendor of homes. Just phenomenal. Should have gone up & down every street.
If you google Hancock Park crime there are many articles over the years even calling Hancock Park the worst residential neighborhood in LA for burglaries. If I had the money I’d at least live somewhere in a gated community with security.
Lots of nice yards to roll up on and pitch a tent or maybe just park an old rv and use those yards as my personal toilet. It's my right. God I love LA.
Greetings, I need to ask you a question, if may! The house that is on the corner, on the very front of this video, it looks like a water coloring! Is this a real house, if so, could you tell me the location! Thank you! Thomas!
Truly a beautiful area. I lived in BH for many years and use to drive around. Note just about every house has at least one if not two signs ADT or other company. Very High Crime Area due to proximity to the black ghettos'.
the house on the thumbnail is something created by AI when I asked it about Hancock Park. It did a version of a colonial house. Hancock Park has a lot of colonial homes in it
Does anyone know of any celebrities who live or have lived in this area? I've read that Wentworth Miller, star of Prison Break once owned a house here. But I think he sold it.
California is not building houses with big front /back yards. no more, they barely give you a driveway for almost the same price of some of these homes on this video
Most likely in the entertainment business. Writers, directors, producer's. I'm sure many of the homes here have been in the family for many generations and passed on over the years.
Does anyone remember the opening song/ music to the wonderfully funny show WEEDS …. 🎼🎹Ticky Tacky Boxes 📦 It’s so prevalent everywhere that shows no matter how many Benjamins 💵💰💵💰a person has, money will never buy class or culture. Less is always more.
Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of ticky tacky Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes all the same, There's a green one and a pink one And a blue one and a yellow one And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same. And the people in the houses All went to the university Where they were put in boxes And they came out all the same And there's doctors and lawyers And business executives And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same. source: www.lyricsondemand.com/tvthemes/weedslyrics.html

Larchmont is still a great little shopping center. They have a farmers market every Saturday.
If you haven’t seen Larchmont for more than a few years you’d be stunned at the change. No longer a charming little street. Bougie to the nth degree.

It's sad to see this. @@hollywoodambience
Looks like where as few of the Beverly Hills house wives live.
I know a lot of celebrities live in this neighborhood
Not Beverly Hills housewives
Truly a beautiful area. I lived in BH for many years and use to drive around. Note just about every house has at least one if not two signs ADT or other company. Very High Crime Area due to proximity to the black ghettos'.
@@SA-hz1rs No, they aren't.
I bet you could have seen the people who Actually live in these houses, during Lockdown in their gardens. Happened where I live..
yes I go walking here a lot also during the pandemic
All of these homes are mainly owned by Jewish families … it’s beautiful to see
Yes there are a lot of Jewish owners in this neighborhood
Where’s the house on the thumbnail?
the house on the thumbnail is something created by AI when I asked it about Hancock Park. It did a version of a colonial house. Hancock Park has a lot of colonial homes in it
beautiful homes. but you couldn't pay me enough to live in California.

Good and we don’t want you!
Original prices probably 40k approx
probably. 1920's
Nice... perfect housing lots of rooms for housing illegal immigrants, says Newsom
Newsom can kiss my a**.
They also have to pay a “mansion tax”
Does anyone know of any celebrities who live or have lived in this area? I've read that Wentworth Miller, star of Prison Break once owned a house here. But I think he sold it.

California is not building houses with big front /back yards. no more, they barely give you a driveway for almost the same price of some of these homes on this video
yes true
leila bershan and other ladies does england look nice like this,
some parts of England are very nice but different than this
It’s not gaudy wealth here
no they are all very conservative and restrained
Beautiful neighborhood. Never want to live there. It’s always felt as lifeless as this video portrays.

What do these people do to afford these houses?
that's a good question.
Most likely in the entertainment business. Writers, directors, producer's. I'm sure many of the homes here have been in the family for many generations and passed on over the years.
LA has hollywood, oil fields, & top hospitals
They collect an inheritance
your mind has to be developed to stay in these areas hancock park;
lots of successful people live in Hancock Park

Does anyone remember the opening song/ music to the wonderfully funny show WEEDS …. 🎼🎹Ticky Tacky Boxes 📦
It’s so prevalent everywhere that shows no matter how many Benjamins 💵💰💵💰a person has, money will never buy class or culture.
Less is always more.
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same,
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same
And there's doctors and lawyers
And business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

Thst song is hardly applicable to this neighborhood.
On the day of the big earthquake, this will all be destroyed and falling into the ground.
