Hollywood continues to be an important employment center for entertainment and media. Netflix maintains several Hollywood offices with teams working in areas including content, marketing, legal and human resources.

And entertainment is only part of the picture. The surrounding area supports jobs in hospitality, tourism, retail, healthcare, professional services and the many industries connected to Los Angeles’ creative economy.

Hillside View’s Hollywood location puts residents close to the activity of the neighborhood while providing access to other parts of central Los Angeles.

If you’re apartment hunting this fall, consider the places you travel to most. Living closer to work, friends and the things you enjoy doing can change the way you experience the city.

At Hillside View, Hollywood isn’t just somewhere to visit. It’s home.

After a busy afternoon, head home to relax. Read a book by the pool, enjoy the California sunshine from your balcony, or simply unwind before heading back out for the evening.

One of the best parts of living here is that you’re always close enough to take a break before the night’s festivities begin.

6:30 PM – Dinner in the Neighborhood

8:30 PM – Experience Hollywood After Dark

As the sun sets, Hollywood comes alive.

Enjoy handcrafted cocktails at a rooftop lounge, catch live music at the Hollywood Bowl, laugh the night away at the Hollywood Improv or Laugh Factory, or dance with friends at one of the area’s energetic nightlife destinations along Hollywood Boulevard or the Sunset Strip.

The best part? When the night is over, home is just minutes away.

End the Night at Home
