Local starlets who have resided in the fabled Hollywoodland have immortalized the sparkle and glamor of the silver screen. The well-known sign was constructed in 1923 to promote houses in the community above Hollywood. The region borders Mulholland to the north and Hollywood Blvd to the south and spans from the Hollywood sign westward to Beverly Hills.

Runyon Canyon Park and Wisdom Tree hiking trails can be found in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood. Runyon refers to the gorge that starts near Franklin and Fuller dubbed "No Man's Canyon." The Tongva Indians stayed in the canyon on a recurring basis. The summit offers panoramic views of the entire city and cool, fresh air. The trails offer a tempting setting for vigorous cardio exercise or a tranquil dog walk.

Beachwood Canyon, Lake Hollywood, Outpost Estates, Mt. Olympus, Laurel Canyon, and The Bird Streets are just a few of the prominent subregions that have emerged from the vast area.
