These are the coolest neighborhoods in L.A. Everyone thinks Beverly Hills is, and it is indeed fabulous.....but these quiet Hills especially Beachwood Canyon are amazingly hip and cool. 💖
I actually felt the opposite. I was shocked by how many pot holes and how poor the roads are in the hills…and most of those homes are actually small and crammed…but they pay millions for the views.
How could anyone not love living anywhere in beautiful Southern California! As far as I’m concerned, it’s the most wonderful part of the world. Compared to the cold, dark depressing, northeast, I bet it’s like living in paradise.
Interesting drive, thank you. Morning and evening commute must be a stressful nightmare. I hope your transmission is OK, as it sounded more than a bit laboured.
Yes traffic time can be hectic in the hills! And we have improved our audio situation significantly since filming this so there will be much less engine noise, and true binaural audio.
Wow! This is really cool! I can feel all the history of old Hollywood as you drive through...very neat! What kind of car are you driving? Is it manual?
Yeah the history in the hills is deep! Happy you enjoyed. It’s a hybrid, and we’ve improved out audio quality since this drive. Future drives will have much less engine noise.
My aunt and uncle had a house on lower Beechwood canyon just up the street off Gower and past Cherimoya elementary school. I remember that they had a 2 tone 57 Chevy. On each side of the house we're apartment buildings and I can recall that one of the buildings was new and constructed while we watched it being built.
My father had an Italian restaurant on Santa Monica Blvd in the 1970s and he refused to deliver to people in the Hollywood Hills because of impossible parking conditions. He called them goat trails.
Fantástico passeio por estes bairros totalmente sinuosos, mas de uma beleza incrível, Hollywood - Los Angeles do grande país EUA, valeu por deixar conhecer um pouco, muito obrigado meu nobre brother pelo o seu excelente vídeo.
There's a family owned grocery store located half way up Beachwood Drive that caters to the neighborhood and it's pretty much walkable if you live there.
I know the hills have to be an expensive area , but I would not to be there during the rainy season in LA . Plenty of cliffs , one way in and out , narrow streets , mud slide city !
It's hard to believe that this is supposed to be one of the most exclusive areas in the world. The surface of the asphalt is in terribly bad condition like in a third world country.
When you live on narrow, twisty canyon roads, sidewalks and front lawns are luxuries you forego in favor of a view. I’m amazed they managed to accomodate firetrucks on these roads!
Deff not a trip if you don’t like heights or used to driving uphill into one car roads. Must be a nightmare to have to hit the market at night if forgot the milk or water lol. Made this trip to see the Hollywood sign and it was stressful.
The only thing about driving in the Hollywood hills is that you don’t see the homes in all their splendor from the street. Yes! The roads are a nightmare up there. 😅
Great video! But you would think with those insane property taxes from all those "hills homes" they could afford something better than 3rd world asphalt. It would make this area look so much cleaner.
How would a mass evacuation be handled? Thats a question that i hope the residents are having kitchen table conversations about. The roads are Steep, narrow and have blind curves.
I wouldn't want to live in a house where you open your front door and step out into the street. Avalanches and mud slides would also be a major concern as well as the dry seasons with wildfires which California has their fair share of. In case of an emergency, you only have one way out of those hills and that's the same way you came in.
Was thinking the same thing, there’s no front yards, hardly any room to even park your car! The roads are so narrow, steep with so many blind spots who’d want to park on the street?
You NEVER make an opposing car back down a hill so you can pass. It's YOUR responsibility to back UP the hill to allow cars going uphill to pass. Otherwise nice video. Very relaxing.
That's crazy logic!! It is far simpler from a driving perspective, for a vehicle to "roll" or freewheel downward rather than be reverse driven "upward". If you freewheel it downward, there's no need to drive it, you simply need to steer it. Whereas reversing upwards, you physically need to "drive" it.its far far easier for the person driving upwards to just "roll" downwards.
@@KittchenSink Check the California Driver's handbook published by the DMV. It's clearly stated in the rules of the road. Rolling backwards down the hill is a recipe for disaster.
I like LA but would have no desire to live on those roads that high in the Hills. Too much of an inconvenience to go anywhere. The road conditions are terrible too.
Too many hillsides have no retaining walls or ground cover. They’re eroding into the street even in good weather, imagine if it rains for a few days in a row, or the inevitable earthquake. City needs regulations requiring property owners to secure their own ground, so public tax $$ doesn’t have to clean up the landslide-blocked streets.
That's California for you. We're probably the state with the highest tax and most regulations in just about everything, yet our roads and infrastructure are crap relative to the amount we're taxed.
You’re a target pretty much anywhere in LA! Especially on the flat roads of West Hollywood (Melrose etc) homeless everywhere. Beachwood is stunning, safe, no homeless and the views are something out of this world! FYI to all of the people saying about milk, you have to drive everywhere in la to get milk! I live in a very central area and I can walk to get coffee before I can walk to get a pint of milk!
Some of those house are not easily accessible if you're older no room for parking narrow poorly maintained roads and don't let me start on the consequences of earthquakes there.
Aren't the $15-25K annual property taxes enough to fix those roads? They look like third world roads. I thought even the poor areas of LA would be better than this
I agree and I grew up in CA not this area per say but I feel like most of CA is disappointing and mostly boring to look at lol I prefer other parts of the US but I guess some people still like it! Or glamorize it probably those who haven’t been there. Strange to me as well.
this is my ultimate comfort video, i come back to this constantly it's so werid i have no explanation!
I'm a weirdo too. I used to live in San Diego and I miss the whole state in the worst way so I watch videos of driving and walking various locations in Cali
In my next life, I'm going to live in California ❤
👍👍💯
Damn those roads look beat..
yay, I enjoyed seeing my home.
Show off ;))

Agreed! It’s rare to hear people talk about Beachwood Canyon and it’s one of our favorite neighborhoods in LA.
No doubt about it..to bad anyday they are saying the whole thing is going to slide right into the ocean
I actually felt the opposite. I was shocked by how many pot holes and how poor the roads are in the hills…and most of those homes are actually small and crammed…but they pay millions for the views.
Yes i agree
@@virtualvoyages you're right
The absolute state of the tarmac though.
Thank you for the ride. Such a cool neighborhood
Love the scenery!
It is priceless!
But boy those transmission shops are making a killing in Cali!
And brake shops too

Insane cost of living is probably the main factor.
i like the way you put the camera its like 1st person ride. I love L>A especially Bel Air
That was our goal! So happy you enjoyed. We’ll have Bel Air drives in the future!
Nice ❤❤❤
Always love these virtual drives... :)

Heard no road noise at all love the drive❤
Thank you for this 🫶🏾😊🌴
Thank you for watching!
Sounds like you're driving a grain thresher up and down those hills🚜
Great trip! Like 510. Thank you very much for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Many more to come

Great job bro.
30:53, camera spotted 😂
Great ride! Although, I can’t believe how bad the roads are through the hills (pavement)!
Agreed! It’s pretty shocking how rough they are in some spots
@@virtualvoyages The hilly terrain contributes somewhat. The ground shifts.
Cool tour and beautiful homes although I wouldn’t want to live so close to the road.
Nice driving tour. Love hills' road.
I loved the video, great job Virtual, keep it up! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much!
GREAT 👍
It's a labyrinth! 😲
Thank you! Exotic trails...and yellow-blue flags on some houses💛💙💖
What a wonderful place!! Thanks for sharing this video, just a question: What car were you driving in this drive? Happiness.. 😀
Great video! Thanks for not using annoying music and all that junk during the video!
Estimulante e relaxante esse passeio! Msm que seja pelo virtual😅

Vdd cara.
One of my go-to vids while reading Michael Connelly (Bosch) mysteries.
Looks like a good place to be riding a scooter over driving a whatever you have. Very tight roads.
11:12 the Hollywood sign😊
Absolutely amazing but what if you need milk or bread or something from the shop it’s such a long drive to go anywhere
There's a family owned grocery store located half way up Beachwood Drive that caters to the neighborhood and it's pretty much walkable if you live there.
What is the large sand-colored house shown at 11:32? Many thanks!
I know the hills have to be an expensive area , but I would not to be there during the rainy season in LA . Plenty of cliffs , one way in and out , narrow streets , mud slide city !
We’ve always thought the same thing! Beautiful homes but seems it would feel treacherous living up there
Did you see the $25MM Hollywood Hills recently bought by the Powerball winner? At the edge of the property is a vertical wall of mud!
@@DeflatingAtheism With that kind of money they can rent a helicopter for their rescue !
@@DeflatingAtheism Oh ! I forgot about the huge wildfires during the dry season , same scenario .
Earthquakes, too. @@JJJBRICE
👍👍👍
once upon a time in holywood...
Looks like Mexico by the ocean..
Nice video, what month is this?
This was shot in February☀️
Bin day😊
Hollywood❌ Gta5✅
The homes are right
on the street,, you have to park on the street. One drunk driver will come right through
Your living room.
It's hard to believe that this is supposed to be one of the most exclusive areas in the world. The surface of the asphalt is in terribly bad condition like in a third world country.
This is Hollywood, not Beverly Hills. Big difference
Surprisingly, there are almost no paths for pedestrians anywhere.
It is surprising how few sidewalks there are! It always feels precarious walking there. The street is barely wide enough for two cars in many places.
@@virtualvoyages Sidewalks take up valuable real estate. People cope.
When you live on narrow, twisty canyon roads, sidewalks and front lawns are luxuries you forego in favor of a view. I’m amazed they managed to accomodate firetrucks on these roads!
Don’t want to encourage the great unwashed.
It is on purpose.
Any problems with mudslides and landmovement in those hills?
I don't know.. those overground power lines make everything look old, like 1950's..
I would get claustrophobia living in that place.

Best neighborhood is called Blackhawk up in the yay area
LA is not too big on front yards.
This is actually the rear of the house

Never knew the roads over there were in such a bad condition......
Your car sounds a bit like my Prius?..🤔
Great video tour! The roads are in terrible condition and I guess people never walk anywhere. Kids must be driven to school. Sad to live the US.
Seems the ride would be more fun in a smaller vehicle...something dare I say louder but in a different way.
Yeah, I wonder how the wealthy and dissolute negotiated these curved in the ’70s when they were driving El Dorados.
You NEVER make an opposing car back down a hill so you can pass.
It's YOUR responsibility to back UP the hill to allow cars going uphill to pass.
Otherwise nice video. Very relaxing.

@@queenslander954 hahahaha. Yeah mate. We'll keep drinkin and just let them do the drivin eh!!
Concrete roads in a Earthquake zone .. hmmm ?
I expected more from this. Maybe a bit more of a view or something. Even I have more view in my apartment in Brussels
I get why we have potholes on the rust belt cause of ice expanding cracks and salt trucks, but why does a place like LA have them?
I hope none of the residents need any first responders!
I like LA but would have no desire to live on those roads that high in the Hills. Too much of an inconvenience to go anywhere. The road conditions are terrible too.
They’re so rich…then why do they have narrow, dangerous roads?? Money can’t buy better roads??
Why don't they fix the roads?
I grew up on Beachwood the roads today are horrible
They are surprisingly rough in some places. The recent CA storms have made all the roads worse as well
You would think they would have better roads.
Too many hillsides have no retaining walls or ground cover. They’re eroding into the street even in good weather, imagine if it rains for a few days in a row, or the inevitable earthquake.

A lot of engine braking or regen going on with these down hill slopes
Wow, the streets in the Hollywood Hills are awful ... big cracks everywhere! Are they from earthquakes?
Looks nothing like the movies or shows 🧐
die straßen haha. Grausam schlecht, und da wohnen die menschen mit dem geld ?? lächerlich
2 foot driveways, borderline 1 way street, multimillion dollar homes. Talk about unappealing.
yeah and you're a target for robberies. i would never live there.
@@concept3009why’s that?

Meh…..if I had the money……I would not live there….
Your car can barely make it up those hills.
Looks boring. All you can see is houses, cars and trees

that was the biggest nothing i ever did see. thanks for the video so i'll know to stay home.
Looks like it’s very stressful to drive the curves
100%. We stick to 15 mph or less
