Sierra Bonita Ave, Mid-City West

Sierra Bonita is one of those little secrets that only the locals know about; as it heads one block north from Hollywood Blvd to meet Franklin Blvd. where it ends, it is flanked on the left by the beautiful and rare garden co-op knows as Wattles Gardens that sprawl out in front the Wattles Estate, a beautiful quiet park that overlooks the city. On the right are family homes, each with its own distinct flair, with lots of trees and exotic plants.

All this is only a couple of blocks north of the hipster's paradise that is Sunset Blvd. Within a stone''s throw is Abbot's Habit - a little coffee shop where Quentin Tarantino has been known to stop by to read over his latest screenplay, TOI - the rock'n'roll Thai restaurant open until 4am and Rainforest Pizza that features Lebanese food in addition to its pizza menu and a hookah bar in the back patio.

To the Northeast of Sierra Bonita is the ever-popular Runyon Canyon where dozens if not hundreds of people a day go for a very famous view of loss Angeles on their hike and dog-walking ritual.

I could also mention that there are very lenient parking restrictions on Sierra Bonita, a street that is kept clean and quiet, but then I would be giving away a local secret.

The only caveat is that the traffic on Hollywood itself can get quite heavy, so having a property on the Blvd, itself can be a bit noisy.
