Hollywood and LA Real Estate

Hollywood is flanked by Hollywood Hills to the north, Los Feliz to the northeast, East Hollywood to the east, Larchmont and Hancock Park to the south, Fairfax to the southwest, West Hollywood to the west and Hollywood Hills West to the northwest.

Street limits of the Hollywood neighborhood are: north, Hollywood Boulevard from La Brea Avenue to the east boundary of Wattles Garden Park and Franklin Avenue between Bonita and Western avenues; east, Western Avenue; south, Melrose Avenue, and west, La Brea Avenue or the West Hollywood city line.

In 1918, H. J. Whitley commissioned architect A. S. Barnes to design Whitley Heights as a Mediterranean-style village on the hills above Hollywood Boulevard, and it became the first celebrity community.

Other areas within Hollywood are Franklin Village, Little Armenia, Spaulding Square and Thai Town.

Miami-Dade County (commonly called Miami, Miami-Dade, Dade County, Dade, Metro-Dade or Greater Miami) is a county located in the southeastern part of the state of Florida. As of the 2010 census, the county had a population of 2,496,435,[1] making it the most populous county in Florida and the seventh-most populous county in the United States.[2] It is also Florida's third largest county in terms of land area, with 1,946 square miles (5,040 km2).[3] The county contains approximately half of the Miami metropolitan area's population and several of its largest cities. The county seat is Miami.

The county is home to 35 incorporated cities and many unincorporated areas. The northern, central and eastern portions of the county are heavily urbanized with many high rises up the coastline, as well as the location of South Florida's central business district, Downtown Miami. Southern Miami-Dade County includes the Redland and Homestead areas, which make up the agricultural economy of Miami. Agricultural Redland makes up roughly one third of Miami-Dade County's inhabited land area, and is sparsely populated, a stark contrast to the densely populated, urban northern Miami-Dade County. The western portion of the county extends into the Everglades National Park and is populated only by a Miccosukee Tribal village. East of the mainland in Biscayne Bay is also Biscayne National Park and the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserves.

If you’re visiting with family there are two beaches that cater to a family friendly ambiance above others: Crandon Park on Key Biscayne and Matheson Hammock a bit south on the mainland. Matheson Hammock is more a lagoon with a killer view of the bay than a beach, but that makes it rip-current free and the entrance fee to the park gives you access to walking paths and a day of watching all kinds of boats and yachts come in and out of their marina. Crandon Park is three miles long and has 13 lifeguard towers keeping an eye out on your little ones. There’s a playground area, picnic tables, shower facilities, beach volleyball court, restrooms and shelters, but come with a few bucks in your pocket for a parking fee. Another beautiful beach on Key Biscayne is the quiet Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, marked by a historic white lighthouse at the tip of the island. Bill Baggs is an ideal spot to watch the sunset. There are two restaurants here open for breakfast and lunch, but you can always pack your own picnic. On a day you expect the beaches to be jam packed, this isolated beach, where you can rent a four-person bike, is a great option.
