The Hollywood Hills are a beautiful area. The homes are beautiful. The landscaping is beautiful. The hills are beautiful. We had a rental car and driving through the area was fun and worthwhile. Recommended when in the area.

Took a cab to see the hollywood sign and than thought to walk around the place on foot and see if i come across any super hero driving around but with no such experience i was left to see the homes, envy is the word that comes to mind when u see the amazing mansions, every other immaculate and unique, could get some good ideas for your house :)

We drove around the Hollywood Hills on a couple of different days. There are many winding roads to navigate, but it’s worth it to see the huge mansions. Get to the top to get a nice view of the Hollywood Sign.

We drove around some of the Hollywood Hills travelling from Hollywood Blvd to Griffith park and then back again, some special locations past and some amazing homes, well worth a viewing.

Hollywood Hills with its iconic big sign is a must see for pretty much everybody visiting LA. The sign itself is just a sign, but it's white Hollywood text somehow makes you feel good when you see it. Driving around the hills and wondering the size and form of different houses is entertaining.

You can drive around the hills or hike from the Griffith Observatory and get close to the Hollywood sign. Either way, the views are excellent of the hills and the impressive houses and of LA itself.

Best way to enter the park is from the bottom. You can have an Uber take you to the top of N Vista Street and the entrance is on your right. Best to Uber as there is very little parking. Also the first part of the hike is steep and the way down is much easier when you are tired.

Am staying in L.A. for three nights and am torn between lodging down in/near the city or up in the Hollywood Hills. The idea of standing on a deck and looking out over the lights of the city is appealing.
But if I stay in the Hills, am I handicapping myself as a tourist? Am I going to be so far away from everything and have such a hassle of a drive that I will regret being up there? Doesn't look like there are any small shops or restaurants in the Hills, appears to be all residential and parkland.
Thanks in advance.

No, there aren't any retail establishments up in the hills, which is why people pay millions to live up there. People who live in the Hollywood Hills value their privacy and safety, which is why there are no stores, restaurants, or bars/clubs up there. Hollywood along the boulevard already has a big problem with homelessness and crime, which is why people are willing to pay a fortune to live up in the hills. As far as driving to retailers and restaurants is concerned, it's not that big of a hassle. Or to put it another way, it's not a bigger hassle than normal L.A. traffic. If you want to compromise between the views and being in the middle of all the action, get a room at Loews in Hollywood at the Hollywood and Highland shopping center. Get a room relatively high up facing the south side of L.A. Or get an AirBnB up one of the streets from Franklin Avenue (north of the street) in Franklin Village (Hollywood), which is a trendy/hipster area of Hollywood. Find an AirBnB off of Bronson Avenue in the Franklin District, which is walking distance near stores on Franklin Avenue. Driving to restaurants/shops on Hollywood & Sunset is quick and easy.
