Storied neighborhood preserving its historic homes

Hancock Park is a historic residential enclave where palm tree-lined streets and traditional estates envelope the grounds of the Wilshire Country Club. “It’s one of the more prestigious areas around Downtown LA,” says Pete Buonocore, a Broker with the Core Group LA at Keller Williams and a longtime resident of Hancock Park. “Many of the houses are in a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone where homeowners are required to preserve the unique character of their homes, so when you’re driving down the street, it’s as if you’re in the 1920s.” Centrally located less than 2 miles south of Hollywood, the neighborhood preserves its individuality with proximity to major thoroughfares such as the Hollywood and Santa Monica Freeways.

Shopping at Larchmont Village and The Grove

Larchmont Boulevard features over 50 shops and restaurants and is about a mile from residents in Hancock Park. “It’s like a small town in a big city,” Buonocore says. “Everyone in the community comes over and I can’t walk down the street without bumping into someone I know.” Locals can shop for upscale fragrances at Diptyque or browse the stacks at Chevalier’s Books, the oldest independent bookstore in LA. Go Get Em Tiger serves house-roasted coffee and pastries in a cozy interior, while Levain Bakery is known for its freshly baked cookies. Locals gather on the outdoor patio at Larchmont Village Wine, Spirits and Cheese while enjoying classic deli sandwiches served on homemade breads. Over on La Brea Avenue, residents can pick up groceries at Trader Joe’s, stop by Nong Lá Vietnamese Café for homestyle Vietnamese dishes or enjoy German beers, pretzels and more at Wirsthaus German Restaurant and Biergarten. Art galleries include Beyond the Streets, which highlights graffiti and street art.

Traditional homes in a Local Historic District

Hancock Park features an eclectic collection of Period Revival architecture dating back to the early 1920s. Tudor Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, Mediterranean Revival and American Colonial Revival estates sit behind towering hedges and mature trees that offer homeowners a sense of privacy. Many homes feature secluded backyards with private pools and patios. Homebuyers can find single-family homes ranging from about $1.6 million for a three-bedroom to $23 million for an expansive eight-bedroom estate backing up to the Wilshire Country Club. Condos line the perimeter of Hancock Park, with one-bedroom units starting at around $500,000. The neighborhood is a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, meaning that new construction in the area is limited to preserve its historic character.
