A few years ago I was fortunate enough to be able to photograph a listing on S. Orange Dr. in Hancock Park. It was a real treat to photograph an older home. Here in Orange County where I do the majority of my work, there are plenty of beautiful homes, but not as many historic homes--and those are a real treat to photograph!
I am in love with that area.The homes and the lawns/landscaping are just so stunning and perfect!I'm constantly watching videos and reading articles about it.Hopefully I can visit it one day.Thank you!
Pretty good video but Bunker Hill and West Adams were the late 1800's, early 1900's upper class areas in Los Angeles. Hancock Park started development full force in 1920.
@@bencumby9132 I will have to give those area's a look.Most modern homes are just gross to me I don't know why.They just seem soulless compared to these smaller,older homes.
I love Hancock Park, and, you've been so detailed in your description of this wonderful area. It makes me want to live their even more. Especially on Hudson. Thank you Muchly
Hi Ethel, Thank you for the very kind feedback! We are happy to hear you enjoy the videos. Hudson is a very beautiful street, we are always here to help with any future plans :)
@Hancockhomes At one point my parents owned a house on Hudson between 6th and Wilshire. Went to 3rd street elementary, Burroughs Jr high and Fairfax High .It was a 4500 sq ft home on a .49 acre lot. Parents sold the house in the early 70's for under 100k the house is probably 4 million now.
As a teenager, I lived in a large Tudor-style home at 541 S Irving Blvd in the Windsor Square subdivision, on a 1/3 acre lot. This subdivision is adjacent and almost identical to Hancock Park. The Larchmont Village shopping street was our "home town". It was like living in any small town in middle America served by Larchmont's owner-operated businesses. The intersection of Irving/Crenshaw/Wilshire Blvd was a transfer zone for the bus service. So as kids we safely wandered by bus all over Downtown LA, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and beyond. During the 1950s, the anti-racial, anti-Jewish deed restrictions were beginning to expire. I was living there when Nat King Cole became the first African American to move north of Wilshire Blvd into the restricted neighborhood.
I am a landscape contractor, the crew and I maintain several properties in the area. It is a beautiful neighborhood, old homes that are not being replaced by modern homes.
Pasadena seems like a nice looking neighbourhood to live in. Same with Los Feliz hills. I've seen a lot of movies set in these two areas and I love the suburban style homes in Pasadena and the views of the city from Los Feliz hills. But also how close it is to the Griffith observatory. As I love hiking
In the 70s i lived on the edge of the westside. I worked on Hollywood & Vine. I drove through HH. I loved driving through the neighborhood to get to work. There cant be many homes for sale. Handed down from family.
Why did Muhammad Ali's house go on and off the market? Not enough mention of crime in the area. Plenty of craziness nearby. Public transportation? LA Mc Mansion tax?
My first guess is you are talking about the contemporary style new build on 315 S Hudson! That property saw dramatic price reductions as we saw interest rates hike up this past year. And at one point was on the market asking for over 24M, it was built and completely redone by some very talented developers Meir Siboni and Jonathan Menlo. It is of the handful of properties in Hancock Park that wasn’t included in HPOZ, so the developer didn’t need to follow HPOZ rules and could create a new contemporary home on Hudson. New contemporary style properties like this are fairly rare in Hancock Park because HPOZ restrictions that aim to keep the historic value of the community intact.

We completely agree with you! The history, the houses, and the architecture, it's all stunning in Hancock Park. Thank you for commenting ❤

Whitley Heights no power lines also.
Tell me about Fremont mansion, the history.

This was great but Hancock Park needs to he gated. Too many rough areas close to that area. Crime high.
Absolutely a good point.....seems like a place the bad people would jump on. Great for security companies and Alarm companies though.
What about street parking?
There is a very new modern house for sale in Hancock Park asking about $16 million. Am wondering how that house got built if you know?
