About Los Feliz
Los Feliz is as laidback a suburb as one can get in the middle of Los Angeles. It is a place with a strong sense of community and kinship and where people are genuinely happy – rather appropriate given its name!
Los Feliz is considered part of Central Los Angeles and is flanked to its north by Griffith Park and to the south by Silver Lake. To its west and northwest are the famous neighborhoods of Hollywood and Hollywood Hills. It’s just 7 miles northeast of downtown L.A. and 22 miles northwest of LAX.

The Village Vibe
Los Feliz Village is the heart and soul of this community. Its residents enjoy a lifestyle where so much is within a few minutes’ walk. Homes are rich in character, built in the 1920’s and 30’s in the classic California bungalow style, which infuse the area with a seductive retro feel.
The Hills Are Alive
Franklin Hills is a Los Feliz neighborhood where the streets are winding and the views awe-inspiring, from vistas of the L.A. skyline to the beaches on the horizon. The Franklin Hills Public Stairway system is a series of 14 stairways dating back to the 1920s and providing a great way to keep fit!
Go Griffith
