Hollywood, Los Angeles CA
Although Hollywood is the most well-known place on earth, there are still many things people don’t understand about the city. Hollywood’s reputation as the entertainment capital is built on its fame for being a place of glamour and glitter. But there is more to Hollywood than just celebrity. Hollywood is quickly becoming one of the most desirable places to live in L.A., regardless of how closely you are to the entertainment business. Angelenos find refuge in Tinseltown.
There are many homes available in Hollywood including Common Fountain, our new coliving residence. Common Fountain combines Old Hollywood charm and modern amenities, such as on-site laundry and a state of-the-art fitness center. It also offers all-inclusive rent at some of the best rates in Los Angeles. Common Fountain is a great place to call home. Here are five other reasons you should consider moving to Hollywood.
A-list architecture
While the Hollywood Hills is most commonly associated with extravagant homes, extraordinary architecture can also be found in any neighborhood. Hollywood’s architecture is a major part of the story, from the iconic Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and the world-famous Chateau Marmont. Taking inspiration from the architectural marvels which punctuate the streets of Hollywood, the thoughtfully-designed spaces throughout Common Fountain pay homage to the brilliant designs which surround the home.
Great public transportation
Los Angeles is a major driving destination, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you cannot get around the city without one. It’s no surprise that L.A. is famous for its traffic, but the multitude of public transportation options make it easy to see the city. The metro will be your friend, whether you’re looking to get around town or to escape to San Diego on the weekends.
An outdoorsy paradise
It might seem that the Walk of Fame is the most popular hike in Hollywood. But, this could be far from true. Hollywood has beautiful natural spaces, history and concerts. A hike along the Hollywood Reservoir Trailhead will help you get away from (tinsel-)town.
Bars that are unique
Hollywood isn’t without its watering holes, even though West Hollywood might be best known for its famous nightlife. You can find spots like Tramp Stamp Granny’s, which is actually its true name! Sunset, Vinyl and Vinyl both offer unique options that make for memorable nights out. But for something truly special — like the unforgettable Tramp Stamp Granny’s (yes, it is its real name) — Sassafras Saloon or The Spare Room should be your top-picks. Sassafras Saloon is fun and entertaining. The Spare Room has a fully-functional bowling alley. People, Hollywood is the only place!
Celebrity food
Hollywood is the center for story telling in the United States. While many stories are told via film and television, the best food can also be used to tell them. Musso & Frank Grill is as famous and well-known as the Pitt’s and DiCaprios’s. Walking through their doors and sipping a few dirty martinis, it feels just like you’re in Hollywood. Modern additions such as Gigi’s offer the same Hollywood charm, but modern cuisine with a more personal story. We can’t forget the Oaxacan espresso made by La Monarca — perfect to watch Netflix on Sunday mornings or to write the next Netflix series.
