Hancock Park is a beautiful and unique area in the central part of Los Angeles. It is one of the city’s oldest and, dare we say, most sophisticated neighborhoods. Hancock Park has been home to celebrities from Hollywood’s Golden Age through today. The neighborhood maintains much of its original historic architecture, another unique factor in Los Angeles. In fact, much of Hancock Park lies within Historic Preservation Overlay Zones (or HPOZs), which seek to maintain and preserve the original homes and character of the neighborhood, making it a coveted area for those who love classic architecture and historic homes.
The greater Hancock Park-Wilshire area is a center of culture for the city, as it is home to many of LA’s best museums, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the La Brea Tar Pits. Plus, its central location makes it easy to get to Hollywood, Downtown, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Century City and the Westside.
