West Hollywood, fondly known by locals as WeHo, is definitely one of the more memorable and progressive urban neighborhoods within Los Angeles. Tucked between Beverly Hills, Hollywood Hills West, Fairfax, and Hollywood, this neighborhood is the full package — popular for its lively nightlife, designer hotels, clean residential areas, multitude of restaurants, and bustling economy. Often the center of city-wide celebrations such as L.A. Pride Music Festival and Parade, The Halloween Costume Carnaval, One City One Pride Arts Festival, and the Women’s Leadership Conference, it is no surprise why people from all over the world flock to this highly desirable neighborhood.

For those who want to be in the heart of West Hollywood, inner neighborhoods north of Santa Monica Bouleard have several low- to mid-rise apartment buildings with affordable rent. However, for more of a calm atmosphere away from the bustle of the main streets, you can find grassy sidewalks, beautiful single-family townhouses, and low-key duplexes by heading south of Melrose along San Vicente. For a more urban vibe, explore the neighborhoods between La Cienega and Fountain Ave.
