The City Council just approved Hollywood Heights as an OFFICIAL LA neighborhood! Since 1902, the name’s been merely informal… but, as we speak, new “proper” city signs are going up all along Franklin Avenue! It’s home to the Hollywood Bowl, Magic Castle, Yamashiro and the Freeman House … just to name a few famous spots. Notable residents (thru the years) include Bette Davis, Francis Ford Coppola, Richard Pryor and… Charles Manson.

Check out the Hollywood Heights quadrants, here!
