The neighbourhoods

Where West Hollywood actually breaks down, in the desk's own words.

Full neighbourhood file →

Norma Triangle

Bound by Doheny Drive, Sunset Boulevard/Holloway Drive and Santa Monica Boulevard, this pocket of single-family bungalows dates to the 1910s and 1920s and is one of the city's smallest, most tightly bounded residential districts.

West Hollywood West

One of five residential districts Wikipedia's city geography section identifies as "only a few blocks long or wide," sitting along the Beverly Hills border south of Santa Monica Boulevard.

West Hollywood East

A compact residential neighborhood bordering the Fairfax District and Beverly Grove sections of the City of Los Angeles, part of the city's irregular, county-drawn boundary line.

West Hollywood Heights

A hillside residential pocket at the city's northern edge, adjacent to the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles.

Sunset Strip

The 1.5-mile stretch of Sunset Boulevard that became the city's commercial spine after 1920s casinos and nightclubs set up outside LAPD jurisdiction; still the city's dining and nightlife corridor today.

Avenues of Art and Design

The commercial corridor along Robertson Boulevard, Melrose Avenue and Beverly Boulevard that the city's own geography describes as its design-trade district, home to longtime "to the trade" furnishing showrooms.
