Renting in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles

Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, CA. 68 rentals are currently available here on EMLAKIE — EMLAKIE adds no broker fee of its own.

The Hollywood Hills climb into the Santa Monica Mountains directly above Hollywood proper, a maze of winding canyon roads lined with single-family homes rather than the apartment buildings common in the flats below. The Hollywood Sign sits on Mount Lee at the neighborhood's edge, and the area has drawn entertainment-industry residents since the studio era for the same reasons renters look here now: privacy, views, and proximity to the studios without living in the middle of Hollywood Blvd's tourist corridor.

Neighborhood boundaries: Los Angeles Times Mapping L.A.; listing-provided neighborhood names may also be used.

The Hollywood Sign

The Hollywood Sign sits on Mount Lee within the neighborhood, originally erected in 1923 as a real-estate advertisement reading "Hollywoodland" before the last four letters were removed in 1949.

⛰️

Cahuenga Peak

The undeveloped summit next to the Hollywood Sign was slated for luxury home sites until a 2010 "Save the Peak" campaign, backed partly by Hugh Hefner, raised the money to buy and permanently preserve it as parkland.

💧

Lake Hollywood Reservoir

Lake Hollywood Park, below the Mulholland Dam reservoir, has one of the most photographed public views of the Hollywood Sign and a walking path around part of the lake itself.

🛣️

Mulholland Drive

Mulholland Drive runs along the ridgeline through the neighborhood, connecting the Cahuenga Pass to the Westside with overlooks across the San Fernando Valley and the Los Angeles basin.

🚪

Hollywoodland Gates

The stone gates at Beachwood Drive once marked the entrance to "Hollywoodland," the 1920s hillside housing development whose advertising sign gave the Hollywood Sign its name.

Renter Tips for Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles

Housing here is almost entirely single-family homes on hillside lots rather than apartment buildings, so expect a narrower, pricier search than in the flats below, with wide variation in size and condition street to street. Canyon roads are narrow, winding, and largely without sidewalks or street lighting, so confirm parking and the actual drive in before committing to an address. Much of the Hollywood Hills sits in hillside brush terrain that falls under the city's fire hazard severity zoning, which carries defensible-space and brush-clearance requirements for the property — worth asking about directly, especially for homes backing onto open hillside.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Hollywood Hills the same as Hollywood?

No — Hollywood Hills is the hillside neighborhood rising above Hollywood proper, made up mostly of single-family homes on winding canyon roads, distinct from the denser, apartment-heavy flats around Hollywood Blvd.

Can you see the Hollywood Sign from the Hollywood Hills?

Many streets have a view of it, since the Sign sits on Mount Lee within the neighborhood itself — Lake Hollywood Park below the reservoir has one of the most commonly photographed vantage points.

Is the Hollywood Hills walkable?

Not in the way a flatland neighborhood is — the canyon roads are narrow and winding with limited or no sidewalks, so most daily errands mean driving, though the path around Lake Hollywood Park is a popular, genuinely walkable exception.
