Driving Beachwood Canyon in the Hollywood Hills.
======================
Beachwood Canyon is a community in the Hollywood Hills, in the northern portion of Hollywood in Los Angeles, California. The upper portion of the canyon is the Hollywoodland community that was advertised in the 1920s by the original of what is now known as the Hollywood Sign. The neighborhood features its own market, cafe, private mailbox rental, florist and stables. Home to more than 22,000 residents, Beachwood Canyon was first developed in the 1920s by a syndicate composed of West Hollywood's founder, Gen. M. H. Sherman; Los Angeles Times publisher Harry Chandler; and real estate mogul Sidney Woodruff (who also developed Dana Point). The architects and landscapers who developed the enclave drew inspiration from the southern regions of France, Italy and Spain, as well as the turreted castles of Germany, building in the Storybook house architectural style. Many famous celebrities have lived in this neighborhood such as Charlie Chaplin, Kevin Bacon, Madonna, Keanu Reeves, Margot Robbie, Mila Kunis, Halsey, Mila Kunis, Louis Tomlinson and more.

Thanks for taking us with you
Thanks for coming!
Hello, thank you so very much for your driving tours through the Hollywood Hills. Please keep them coming much appreciated!!!
Glad you're enjoying them! Just posted another one today 😀
VERY intuitive and well done. Thanks for stopping at key points to see great views. I’ve seen a few of these types of Hollywood hills videos and yours is up there as one of the best.
Thank you! I really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Both the Flora and the Architecture are incredible. What an eclectic mix. Weather's not too bad either.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I do like this part of the Hollywood Hills. I do like the mix as well. Thanks for watching! ❤️
This is such a wonderfully preserved area, no modern roads, no high-rise buildings, faux-colonial architecture, so much greenery. Feels almost surreal. I want to get lost in these wonderful hills.
Yes it's a great area! love how it is different from the rest of Los Angeles.
For those who are interested in 2021 fellow You Tuber Actionkid on a visit to LA did a walking vid where he walked thru the hilly neighborhood past a gated area where a gate was open and walked up dirt roads and trails to the Hollywood Sign and beyond to the crest of the hill where the radio towers stand . There other natives who were walking in the same area as well as service trucks . The letters of the iconic sign are bigger than you realize . Then he walked over some more dirt roads to the Griffith Observatory and did another vid there . They were spectacular views .
I've considered doing a walking video up to the Hollywood sign. Perhaps I'll do one when the weather gets better with my dog. Mine would be a silent walk of course. No one wants to hear my voice! lol 😂
Where I was born…I love scenic CA. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Wonderful, indeed. A real good taste for beautiful landscapes. Bravo. Thank you.
I really love the eclectic character of this area. Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much. Very beautiful and interesting. I need to be there
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully you will get to be here soon
Amazing🎉awesome video brilliant 💎💎💎💎
Thank you so much! 🤗
Another one! And two hours long! I really love how fast your channel is growing
My theory is now fact. Within the first five minutes there'll always be an old sort of classic car, like at 3:02
That benz at 7:57, im a sucker for old cars
James, Thank you! Glad you liked this one! I considered doing this in two parts but glad I didn't. Two hours of these windy roads were 😭. Love seeing the classic cars on my drives too!
Thank you for this video, really enjoy and useful. see you in Bali
Bali looks amazing. Thanks for watching!
Oh, yay. Can’t wait until tonight!
Hope you enjoy the ride! ❤️
Great Video as always! Amazing!
Thanks again Cory! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great channel. The roads are terrifying during the day. At least at night, car headlights can warn you of traffic. As one commenter said, you either love living there or never want to go there again.
I grew up there and it was fabulous - the streets never, ever scared me.
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying my channel
Must have been nice to grow up in the hills. It's hard for me to decide which part of the Hollywood Hills I like the most while I've been doing this series. Beachwood Canyon is up there tho!
At 1:32:09/2:02:46 is the onetime 2720 Woodhaven Drive residence of Clark Gable and Carol Lombard. Done in the Storybook Style, this style of architecture was popularized in the 1920s in England and the United States. The style took a foothold in California, particularly in Los Angeles, during the 1920s and 1930s. Hollywood was a major influence.
Ooo Thanks Antonia! Really cool to get this info! a glimpse of old Hollywood history! ❤
The estate at 2869 Durand Drive 38:31/2:02:46 is known as Wolf Lair Castle. It's a 1927 Norman Revival Storybook Style mansion built on 3.3 acres in the Hollywood Hills It overlooks Lake Hollywood and was constructed by Hollywoodland art director and developer, L. Milton Wolf. According to Curbed LA, Debbie Reynolds, Marlon Brando, and the Beatles have all been occupants at various times. Mobi was a recent owner.

Ooo Thank you for the info Antonia! I love this! ❤
Very well done! 😊❤
Thank you! 😊

Beautiful country ❤❤
Glad you enjoyed the video! ❤
Nice day and I agree with everyone that commented on the roads. Thanks for the drive. GOD bless
Thanks Susan, glad you enjoyed the video
Good job, great vid ...kinda long but I watched it all , thank you
Thank you! Glad you liked this one! I considered doing this in two parts=. Two hours of these windy roads were 😭
Possibly shorter versions say 4..... 1/2 hour vids would produce 4 likes ? just maybe @@Omwvlog
I’m gonna move there one day
Hopefully soon!
Hey thanks for the great tour, but next time can we stop and get coffee?
Hey sure! I've already done one drive. But the one after I'll include that in. Thanks for the suggestion!
I love the hills and the views just wish they would take the time to repair those dang roads with how expensive those homes are and property taxes
I agree, they really need to put more focus on maintaining the roads.
Long video this time
Thanks for covering 😊
Thank you! Glad you liked this one! I considered doing this in two parts but glad I didn't. Two hours of these windy roads were 😭
@@Omwvlogappreciate your hard work,,,you need to drive up to the Hollywood sign on next video 😁
Thank you! actually you can see the hollywood sign here 1:03:43. I think this is the closest you can get to the sign by car. 😊
@@Omwvlogohh so the rest remain destination need to go by walk 😀
Yes,You can't walk closer to the Hollywood sign. But can't walk up to it anymore. They closed off the sign many years ago to the public.
Perfect 60s hideout for the hippies as was Laurel Canyon and laid back folkies etc and the Beverly Hills mansion at the weekends!!!. Whatever takes your fancy!. 😂
Well said!
Is this the same Beachwood Canyon that appears on David Lynch's film Mulholland Drive??🤔😎
yes it is! Thanks for watching
@@Omwvlog Nice. Beautiful landscapes.
❤
It's odd in such a car centric city like LA that they don't build adequate parking on property. Why is everyone parked in the road? No thanks
Most of these streets in the Hollywood Hills were laid out in the mid 1920's. One hundred years ago, it was the norm to have only one car per household. Thus, you see these all these older homes with only one garage. You either love living in the Hollywood Hills or you don't. It's rather a bohemian enclave that attracts a large segment of the entertainment industry., It also attracts other movers and shakers in Los Angeles. Some views are downright spellbinding. The Hollywood Hills isn't for everybody.
@@antoniahamilton3201 Yeah. A lot of those houses are not from the 1920s. People buy the land, not the house there. They tear them down and plop ugly, lot filling houses. But instead of putting an adequate driveway or garage they just build all house and figure they'll park on the road. Which clogs the road, makes it more difficult for EMTs or Firefighters to get up there a timely fashion. And when there's another big earthquake good luck to all the people who live up there, tiny roads littered with cars and debris. Be stranded for days lol
@@imon2u
A lot of those original homes would have been demolished even if they had been located elsewhere. While I’m all for architectural conservation, most were lacking architectural merit and woefully inadequate. I won’t apologize for other people's taste in residential architecture but there is some newer construction that I think is really impressive. If you observe carefully, you’ll notice most have incorporated larger garages than the ones they replaced. Not all properties here allow for the luxury of an extended driveway. Parking will always be an issue in the Hollywood Hills. You either make peace with that or you don’t live there. Some neighborhoods will always be like that, e.g. beachfront property.
And yes, earthquakes are a reality in California. That can’t be denied. Being fearful is legitimate. By the same token, I personally would never want to live in states besieged by destructive and ever worsening tornadoes. Thank you.
@@antoniahamilton3201 That's a lie. If that were the case everywhere Oak Park, Illinois would've torn down all the Frank Lloyd Wright homes for newer construction. Grosse Pointe, Michigan would've torn down all their 1920s mansions. Bala Cynwyd, PA, Newport, RI, Nantucket, MA all manage to keep the beautiful older homes while adding new construction.
Look what happened to Betty Whites house. The people that bought it didn't want the house, they wanted the land. People buy completely fine, functioning homes there and tear them down even if they're less than 5 years old.
Lacking in architectural merit?!? Oh please. As if plopping down a lot sized house with no characteristics other than "big" is architectural merit.
Something like 1/3 of garbage comes from building/construction. Could probably halve that if people would buy a house and improve it. Not just knock it down to build to their liking, only to get bored of it, sell, and the new buyer do the same thing.
Go on Google Earth, look around Bel Air. Gorgeous homes, and tons of them being torn down for no other reason than to one up each other. Wasteful.
@@imon2u yah no one cares
The streets in the hills are trashy. Can’t believe someone would pay so much to live where the streets are like alleyways.
Thanks for watching!
Very interesting to see. I couldn’t handle those narrow, curvy roads. And no front yards… not for me
Yah front yards would be really nice. Thanks for watching!
Nice video bro , but we asking for drone videos in the Hollywood hills neighbourhoods more so evening time or when the sun is not too much
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to do look into a drone to start including it in my videos
The majority of houses you drive by are lovely, then suddenly you see a castle type thing and then you see a Nisssn Juke in the driveway and it all makes sense... 🇬🇧
@@antoniahamilton3201 Doubt it, it was a new build 👍
Definitely throws u for a loop lol 😂 Thanks for watching!
@@Omwvlog Love your posts, keep the good work up, chap 👍 🏴 🇬🇧
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying them!
Frequently, that is the helps vehicle,maids, etc.
❤🎉🎉😊
❤️❤️❤️
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Albert!
Some of them streets are so steep, are there ever any issues with that, like cars not being able to go up them or somethin
My car sometimes sounds/feels like it's struggling when I'm driving up these hills. A viewer commented on one of my videos that it sounded like I was driving a garbage truck! 😭😂😂😂 Thanks for watching!
city of L.A. really needs to get up there and repave those roads..
That would make things nicer! Thanks for watching
😀👍
Thank you!
Can you do Laurel Canyon next ?
I just did Laurel Canyon. currently being uploaded to YT. Hopefully I can post it today. Thanks for watching!
What if a rainstorm comes?
It's been raining hard since yesterday. We'll see how things go. I saw on the news several houses were damaged and a house completely slid off its foundation in the Beverly Glen area from a mudslide due to the current storm.
Many homes in the hilly areas have garages , carports and driveways of various sizes but their are cars parked on the side of the street . Some residents must have a small fleet of cars . Said residents must have plenty of faith in their neighbors driving skills in not hitting their late model vehicles .
I'd have to have a garage if I lived in these hills. I couldn't trust my neighbors driving skills. My bumper has so many dings from parking on the streets in my neighborhood and we have much more space! lol
Some homes have at least a teenage driver or two.
Achei estranho a cidade,ela foi construída em uma região montanhosa percebe-se que as ruas estão todas com Rachaduras,muito perigoso.
Sim, não tem as melhores estradas, mas é melhor que uma favela? 😀
Great video but it amazes me that you can't walk out your front door without getting run over. A lot of these homes look dilpitated and unkempt.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Yah this neighborhood is a lot older and some needs more work than others.
I thought it was hard to park in the hills above Boise. Holy shit this is way worse.
Thanks for watching!
а я бухаю в трущебе в саратове...как же круто на голливудских холмах....пожить бы
Надеюсь, вам понравился напиток! Мне нравится, как мы можем зайти на UA-cam и насладиться местом, где мы раньше не были! Спасибо за просмотр моих видео!
Как кадры из фильма зомби апокалипсиса, нет людей, почему?
Это жилой район, и большинство людей в это время находятся на работе. Спасибо за просмотр
@@OmwvlogСпасибо за ответ. Но где же пожилые люди, которые находятся на пенсии и мамы в декретном отпуске, которые гуляют с детьми? Этот сигмент людей не работает, плюс люди, которые работают по графику, люди в отпусках. Где все эти люди?
Многие пожилые люди живут в обычных домах, а также живут в пенсионных общинах. Мои родители купили дом в пенсионном поселке, жители которого старше 55 лет. Есть небольшие поселения, в которых есть места для прогулок. Лос-Анджелес по большей части не город для прогулок. Отели обычно располагаются в местах, которые могут быть пешеходными для туристов. Надеюсь, это ответило на ваш вопрос.

Bad streets. Feel sorry for the people who have the balcony right by the street and have to keep it covered so no one climbs up.
Ooo good point! Hopefully they have a great security system!
Theres no space for anyone to park in there own drives

I watch these videos and haven't seen any homeless or marginals yet, but in telegram news chat some idiots make edits with skid row or alley of fame with drug addicted people and showing all this like:" Free Omerika(with sarcasm). Our country is better cause we don't have a lot of drug addicted marginals ". But number of these marginals are less than 1% of all people in US. What do you think, are there a lot strange people? Because you live in LA and I think you know more about it
Over the years, homelessness has become more prevalent. You'll notice it in small pockets, but most of it is concentrated in Skid Row, which has always had a substantial homeless population. The Hollywood Walk of Fame area, around 15 blocks, has some homelessness presence. Further down on Figueroa Street, way south of Downtown LA, you'll come across 5ex workers. I considered filming that area, but it's not my style of content, and there are plenty of other channels focusing on that. I don't live in an area where I run into those issues. It just depends on where you decide to live and hang out. The news makes it seem like the whole city is in flames with these issues. However, LA is a huge city and county, and the problems are a small percentage compared to the overall population. But, it's still a growing issue that needs to be fixed. Hope this helps!
@@Omwvlog The truth.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of Cali hate inspired by politics and jealousy.

Dang how do you afford gas to drive around? HAHAH
ugh it's so expensive here!
GTA V vibes!
Is this area considered user class? 🤔
😉Thanks for watching!
First part of this video looked like a crumbling expensive ghetto.
Yah very different from when going deeper up the canyon!
