We are sponsoring the Westwood region of Los Angeles! Come and check out our photos and community details.

Westwood is a region in the Los Angeles Westside. Westwood is bordered by Brentwood on the west, Bel-Air on the north, Century City and Beverly Hills on the east, West Los Angeles on the southwest, Rancho Park on the southeast, and Sawtelle on the south and southwest. The district's boundaries are generally considered to be Santa Monica Blvd.(or Olympic Blvd. and, by some, Pico Blvd.) on the southeast, the city limits of Beverly Hills on the northeast, and Sunset Boulevard on the north; its southwestern boundary is the San Diego Freeway between Santa Monica and Wilshireboulevards, and Veteran Avenue between Wilshire and Sunset.

Janss Investment Company created Westwood Village in the 1920's. Westwood Hills became the home of UCLA in 1926, which helped create a boom for the Westwood area. Even in the face of the Great Depression Westwood flourished into 452 businesses in 1939. In 1970 the Oppenheimer building was developed which gave the region distinctive separation between new, modern style buildings and the old Mediterranean theme of the original architecture.

Westwood is a mecca for restaurants, shops and culture. It is home to the Hammer Museum hosing over 7500 works of Impressionist and Post Impressionist art. Westwood has several original building still standing and in use including The Fox Theater, The Janss Dome, Ralph's Market Building and The Bruin Theater.

We are sponsoring the Hancock Park community, come by and check out out photos and community details!

Hancock Park owes its name to developer-philanthropist G. Allan Hancock. Hancock was born and raised in a house on what is now part of the La Brea Tar Pits. He sub-divided the property in the 1920's into upscale beautiful lots, all of which are set back away from the road. Hancock Park boundaries are Rossmore to Highland Avenues; Melrose Ave. to Wilshire Blvd. Respectively, its boundaries are Rossmore Avenue to the East, Melrose Avenue to the North, Highland Avenue to the West, and Wilshire Boulevard to the South. There are approximately 1200 homes. Hancock Park was home to Hollywood's elite. Some of the early families included; Doheny, Chandler, Huntington, Van Nuys, Crocker, Banning, Newmark, Van de Kamp and Duque. More recent celebrities include Kathy Bates and Nat King Cole. This is also home of the Wilshire Country Club, 105 acres of land which was leased with an option to buy from Hancock around 1920. This has long been a very affluent and high end region of Los Angeles hosting some of the most impressive mansions in the area.

About 1 mile west of the Hancock Park neighborhood is the actual park of Hancock Park. This is also adjacent to the LA County Museum of Art, La Brea Tar Pits, George C Page Museum of La Brea Discoveries, Petersen Automotive Museum, A+D Architecture and Design Museum and the Craft & Folk Art Museum. This beautiful neighborhood is sure to bring tranquil days and peaceful nights.
