Where the Celebrities Call Home: Hancock Park - Shelterpop

Hancock Park is an idyllic neighborhood with turn of the century estates, a lively village and plenty of charm. It's also one of the most star-studded areas of Los Angeles.

Long before Beverly Hills was 'Beverly Hills', there was Hancock Park, one of the oldest, most affluent, architecturally well-preserved and star-studded neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Just 5 miles west of downtown, the neighborhood bloomed in the 1920s when prominent Angelenos with notable names like Doheny, Chandler and Ahmanson hired accomplished architects such as Wallace Neff and Paul Williams to design large and elegant mansions on the oversized, mostly flat lots.
